Not Recognized By Bumper Sticker

Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. Philippians 3:17

You are either for or against bumper stickers. Some are funny, some are hateful, some are in your face. No matter where you stand, something to think about as a believer is if you displays bumper stickers about Jesus just remember that does not mean it is your automatic admission to Heaven as your Christian witness goes far beyond the decal on your car or necklace around your neck. Does your life reflect that message of Christ you are displaying? 

So you speed and say “well Christians aren’t perfect just forgiven” and speed on. You pray at a local restaurant then rob the wait staff of a good tip, a Christian tract should be sufficient. You pull into church parking lot embroiled in an argument with your family  then say “praise the Lord” when you enter the sanctuary. The fact is we all mess up and we all have been broken at one time or another. 

Don’t judge another when you see them mess up and forgive yourself when you do. Just trying to give everyone  some food for thought today is all.  

PRAYER: Lord my life is a witness to others wherever I go. Help me to remember as I go about my day to be a good representative of your kingdom in words, actions, and deeds. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
