Walking the walk

Churchmarketingsucks.com has released the results of their latest poll.
According to the site's readers, walking the walk is the #1 means of church promotion.
That even tops a give away a church recently did with Chipotle.
The poll does underscore our constant refrain that Christians who do what they're supposed to do are the best marketing ever.
How do we encourage folks at encounter our your church to do that?

Dear friends, do you think you'll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say, "Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!" and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup—where does that get you? Isn't it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense? - James 2:14-17
