Ah, yes ... but we have the unfortunate tendency to forget that we are merely messengers, and not the Message itself.
And where God's truth is concerned the messengers can be, and very often are, quite offensive. To the point where our bad behavior blinds people to "THE TRUTH" we purport to be telling them.
As St. Francis put it, "Preach the Gospel always; when necessary, use words." How we behave, matters.
Francis was a little narrow in his approach...Not to mention unbiblical...But then when did that ever slow down a Catholic???
Ayatollah Khomeini could be said to be preaching the Gospel if you just look at him...The Gospel words must be spoken...And heard...
That is an urban legend..Francis never said that..in fact he himself was an zealous preacher of the gospel
There are few "nicer " people than Mormons.. yet to follow that gospel is a road to hell
