You do, don't you?



Don't forget that people will judge you by your actions, not your
intentions. You may have a heart of gold -- but so does a hard-boiled
egg, and that's no yolk.

A reader sent an article about a lady driver who furiously blew her
horn and cursed at a driver in front of her who didn't move at the
green light. A policeman who was in the car behind her, arrested her.
His reason:  When he saw several Christian bumper stickers and a fish
emblem on her car and observed her behavior, he assumed it had to be
a stolen car.

That story reminds us that even the non-Christian world has a mental
image of how Christians should behave.  So, as someone has said, "If
we were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough
evidence to convict us?"   If we are Christians, it shouldn't be a
secret.
We need to be aware that we are under constant scrutiny, and we need
to live up the standards that have been set for us.

Romans 8:15 (nlt). "So you should not be like cowering, fearful
slaves.  You should behave instead like God's very own children,
adopted into His family -- calling Him, 'Father, Dear Father'."  Serve
Him as though you love Him.  You do, don't you?
