A noted business leader once said, "An institution may spread itself over the entire world and may employ a hundred thousand people, but the average person will form his judgment of it through his contact with one individual."
This is nowhere more true than in the church.
Large sums may be expended to build the church's image through radio, television, and newspaper ads.
But family and friends will form their views of the church by what they see in you.
They see the church as cold, friendless, disagreeable, or warm, friendly, helpful, as they see these qualities in you.
Here is a type of personal evangelism which all can do; be sure that the church reflected in our lives is the church as God would have it.
May each of us so live that we can say as the song suggests, "Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me."
