A louder witness
Back to Man's religion & God's religion
"Be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12
A godly life is a louder witness against the inconsistent conduct of loose professors, than scolding reproofs.
There should be—a tenderness of spirit—a holy prudence—a godly awe of the word of truth—and a reverent walking before God—all of which speak plainly against the light, easy, loose, slip-shod profession of the day.
