May we never forget that anywhere we go, we are ambassadors for Christ (2 Cor 5:20). We are not our own, but we have been bought with a price, therefore [we must] glorify God with our body (1 Cor 6:20).
So then why is it that we as Christians can go into a restaurant and, for the most part, be surrounded by many people lost and on a one-way road to hell feel that we can "lay aside" our Christian conduct and treat other people with contempt?
My teacher, mentor, friend and hero Todd Bolen posted this link in his blog here. Here is the link that we need to read. It is about some Christians who came to a restaurant and forfeited their Christian witness because of the lack of respect, honor, generosity and the excessive amount of pride that was manifested. The link is here. We all need to read this, be convicted and then read 2 Cor 8-9 and the whole Bible again and find out that Christ didn't hold anything back, he gave himself to the utmost. How much more should we as his disciples do the same.
