Preach Gospel, calmly, spontaneously



Convicted and convicting.

Not always chapter/verse.

Everyday, some place

With someone.

Being that witness unto Jesus.

No backwards collar.

No certificate on the wall.





Just your deeds, casual conversation.

Music or poems handed around.

Things you abstain from doing, joining.

The aroma of righteousness

Of the Flock.

Who each know the voice

Of the Good Shepherd.

And follow none other.
