Being a Christian means making sure our manner reflects the God we claim to represent.

Words lose credibility when our lives contradict them. A Christian’s light should look like compassion, truthfulness, humility, courage, mercy, and care for people who are vulnerable.

When I try to control what everyone is allowed to believe I wonder whether I’m trusting God to work in people’s lives.

I’m lucky I know so many great Christians who are loud in actions not words. They are literally shining their light all over the place. And many who aren’t Christians are doing a better job living as Jesus asked us too.

I really think collectively we could do so much better.
