God’s Most Powerful Visual Aid

“It is much easier to lay down the law from the pulpit than to exemplify it in the home. We find it simpler to give directions about the way than to lead others in the way ourselves.  . . . . God’s most powerful visual aid in the education of mankind is a consistent Christian.”

– John R.W. Stott, The Preacher’s Portrait (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1961), 97.
