HI!
J.M. Kennedy once told the following story.
“I am told that an Indiana cemetery has a tombstone over one hundred years old that bears the following epitaph:
‘Pause Stranger, when you pass me by.
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so you will be.
So prepare for death and follow me.’
Someone had scratched a reply under the inscription.
It read:
‘To follow you I’m not content,
Until I know which way you went.'”

1Thess. 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
KJV
_THOUGHT________
There are many things in this old world that are just WRONG!
The Bible says in the verse above, Christians are to ABSTAIN from them!
If we participate in things that are wrong morally, we are reflecting badly on salvation by grace.
The evidence of Christianity being USEFUL doesbecome SHADOWY when a Christian:
CURSES,
GOSSIPS,
DRINKS,
ATTENDS A GAMBLING CASINO.
The evidence of Christianity being USEFUL also becomes SHADOWY when a Christian is not in church regularly!
As a pastor, I’ve been asked many times: “WHY should I go to church? Those people are as bad as I am!”
Of course, APPEARANCES are not EVERYTHING!
One bad moment of a person’s life does not exhibit the WHOLE.
However, one bad moment WRONGLY INTERPRETED does make a difference!
That moment may become ammunition for the gossip’s gun!
If you are really a Christian, let the evidence be CLEAR!
Like my dad used to say, “Remember to WHOM you BELONG!”
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
