People Are Watching
 
As clay-footed members of the Family of God, we convert people each and every day … to either good or evil.  That’s because people do notice us and what we do.
 
When we ignore what we profess to know, they say, “See, those Christians are hypocrites.”  When we talk the talk and walk the walk, it gets more complicated.  Some hiss and find fault.  Others nod and find strength.  But they do watch.
 
My point:  Today, let’s make people wonder and want to find out more about what makes us so special.  I invite you to join me in trying (just trying) to be that shining light that makes others wonder, “What is with this Jesus stuff?” as we live in joyful celebration of our faith.  — jri
 
“Today I have made you a fortified
city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall
to stand against the whole land –
against the kings of Judah, its
officials, its priests and the people
of the land.  They will fight against
you but will not overcome you, for
I am with you and will rescue you,
declares the Lord.”
        –    Jeremiah 1:18-19
