The title and majority of the content has been stolen from this blogpost in which the author quote J.R. Vassar. Now that you know this post is based on unoriginal content you can decide whether or not to continue reading.

You're still reading? Great.  Here is the line of text from the quote that really stuck out to me and forced me to ask myself some challenging questions:

"Christ may have been assumed in the answer, but he was not proclaimed."

 When I perform an act of service or give to someone in need who/what do I cite as my motivation for doing such a task? Do I say, "Because the love of Christ and His Gospel transformed my life, I am now free to give!" ? Or do we give the logical answer? "I have been given much so I might as well give to others."

In the first answer the Lord is glorified and in the second, not so much. So I pose this question to you and myself. Do my words and actions assume Christ in my life or do they proclaim Christ?

It's a simple thought and simple question, but one I think must be asked.
