Perhaps it means that your actions must speak loader than your words. GOD wants to see our faith manifested in good works, not lip service.
GOD bless

Preach the good news through your actions.. Let the things you preach be shown through your lifestyle, instead of only as words. Put your preaching words into action!
That's what it means to me:]

This sounds like the classic "actions speak louder than words." If you're always preaching with your actions, then you're always remembering to act in the way you wish the rest of the world to act.

Always let your life, attitude and actions show the reality of Jesus Christ in you -- and then, sometimes, you will earn the right to preach with words.
But let your life be your primary sermon.

Greg Laurie (a popular Christian pastor - the one who does the Harvest Crusades) has a great saying along the same lines. (Encoraging Christians to set an example and actually live what the preach.)
He says: "You are the only gospel most people will ever read."

Preach through your actions and use words sometimes too. But always control yourself and think before you act, you never know who is watching...good statement!

Lifestyle evangelism. Being an example of God's word through our actions and the lives we lead. I do fully believe that actions speak louder than words in most cases.

You can't preach well enough without talking. If you only do the actions, others might misunderstood so you should tell them verbally also.

It means, stop preaching and actually do the things you claim are right to do.

That you should let your actions speak for you, like Mother Teresa did.
The quote is actually "Preach the gospel at all times -- If necessary, use words."
-Saint Francis of Assisi

In other words if you got the talk you need to show it also. Especially all the time not just on Sundays or when people are watching
