We don’t have to distribute gospel tracts to strangers to be effective evangelists; we just have to be present to a few people who are in our lives. We go to their birthday parties. We watch them play softball. We drink coffee with them at the coffee shop. We laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry. And, in the process, we get to be salt and light to them. Even if we never quote the Bible to them or say a prayer with them, we are the presence of Christ to them.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Judson Edwards" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/judson-edwards/what-that-means-in-a-practical-way-is-that-we-strive-to-know-and-love/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/44e/judson-edwards-111900_bible_what-that-means-in-a-practical-way-is-th_44580.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/44e/judson-edwards-111900_bible_what-that-means-in-a-practical-way-is-th_44580.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/44e/judson-edwards-111900_bible_what-that-means-in-a-practical-way-is-th_44580.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What that means, in a practical way, is that we strive to know and love a few people deeply.

But some of them were mean-spirited. Some were angry. Some were bored with life. They seemed to observe all of the religious principles we Christians teach and treasure, but they didn’t have the joy those principles are supposed to produce. The “means,” somehow, never led to the “ends.” I have also observed a number of people who are not particularly religious and seldom, if ever, darken the doors of a church. But these people are full of life, laughter, and wonder. In their presence, I have come alive, too, for their joy is contagious. And I have thought, on more than one occasion, that these nonreligious people are closer to the kingdom than my mean-spirited, angry, bored church friends. Wherever there is joy, I have concluded, there is the presence of God.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Judson Edwards" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/judson-edwards/i-have-observed-a-number-of-church-people-through-the-years-who-were/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb0/judson-edwards-111900_biblical-truth_i-have-observed-a-number-of-church-peopl_2706421.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb0/judson-edwards-111900_biblical-truth_i-have-observed-a-number-of-church-peopl_2706421.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/eb0/judson-edwards-111900_biblical-truth_i-have-observed-a-number-of-church-peopl_2706421.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I have observed a number of church people through the years who were grounded in biblical truth, faithful in…” — Judson Edwards", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/judson-edwards/#person", "name": "Judson Edwards", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/judson-edwards/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b028/author-judson-edwards-111900.jpg" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/judson-edwards/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/judson-edwards/", "name": "Judson Edwards", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/judson-edwards/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/44e/judson-edwards-111900_bible_what-that-means-in-a-practical-way-is-th_44580.jpg" }, "description": "Judson Edwards has 2 quotes on SMS4Smile.
