The following quote will no doubt strike each of us a little differently. My background in Christianity is varied and over fifty years long; so I've seen many methods of worship, Christian charity, as well as methods of sharing our faith and communicating. I offer this quote as a balance and not a carved in stone declaration of how all worship, preaching, witnessing or conversation should be. But simply the opinion of some.

  "We interpret with much rigor those precepts of Christ, which forbid ostentation, and enjoin modesty and retirement in devotion. We dread a showy religion. We are disgusted with pretensions to superior sanctity. We believe that true religion speaks in actions more than in words, and manifests itself chiefly in the common temper and life; in giving up the passions to God's authority, in inflexible uprightness and truth, in active and modest charity, in candid judgment, and in patience under trials and injuries. We think it's no part of true devotion to publish its fervors, but prefer a delicacy in regard to these secrets of the soul; and hence, to those persons who think religion is to be worn conspicuously and spoken of passionately, we may seem cold and dead, when perhaps were the heart uncovered, it might be seen to be "alive to God" as truly as their own."  William Ellery Channing.
