Do we focus more on not misrepresenting Christ or representing Christ?

Do we focus more on not misrepresenting Christ or representing Christ?

Because we can work all we want on not being a misrepresentation of Him, but when it comes down to it, how have we actually represented Him?

"Preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary, use words."

It's a great quote and all, but if we aren't actually making an effort to be a representation, it means nothing.

Be an example by your actions, yes, but also by your words. Your thoughts. Your deeds.

If you see a need that you can meet, take care of it.

The Bible clearly states that if we know the good we are supposed to do, and choose not to do it, we've sinned.

A simple act of love and open the door to salvation, but if we don't take that first step, we've lost our opportunity.

At the end of it all, what's more important? Not risking it and getting rejected and having your feelings hurt? Or taking the leap of faith and pursuing the lost?

Besides, they're not rejecting you, they're rejecting God, and if that fact doesn't hurt you more, you need to reflect on what you're placing first in your life.

Simon says, “Pat your head”.
We pat our heads.
Jesus says, “Go therefore and make disciples…” We memorize that verse.

Story: "Difference in Love and Marriage"

I found this interesting (but true) article from somewhere over the rainbow facebook actually

Story : "Difference in Love and Marriage"...

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"




The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and
come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders... may be there is a
bigger one later.

Then he saw another bigger one... But may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to realize that the wheat is not as big as the
previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.

The teacher told him, "this is love... You keep looking for a better one, but when later you realise, you have
already miss the person..."

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and
come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach
the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, "This time you bring back a corn. You look for one that is just nice, and you have faith
and believe this is the best one you get... This is marriage."
