"The righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray."
Proverbs 12:26
The word for neighbor literally means "near one." The most authentic ministry begins in the lives of those closest to you. The old hymn says it all, "Let Others See Jesus in You."
NOTE TO SELF: Your children and your next door neighbors are seldom inspired to follow you closer to Jesus when you expend all your Christianity at the Church house, but then come home and live like hell in your house.
