Have you heard this line attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi: "Preach the Gospel at all times; when necessary, use words."? Well, according to this article in Christianity Today, he never said it and he certainly didn't live it. It turns out, Francis was quite a preacher in his day, and he knew (along with Saint Paul), that "faith comes from hearing the Gospel."

Mark Galli ends his article with a better suggestion: "Preach the gospel - use actions when necessary, use words always."
