Something that bugs me, and I KNOW bugs non-Jesus believers, is when people advertise themselves as Christians but don’t live the life they should.

Hey this is Debbie Griffith with Everyday Matters.

It’s like if you saw a sign advertising a grocery store but when you walked in the door you found out it was really only a hardware store. You’d be bugged because what was advertised was not what was offered. Well don’t you think the world feels the same way about people who advertise Christianity through bumper stickers, jewelry, t-shirts and church attendance but live a life that shows condemnation and selfishness? One bumper sticker I’ve read says; “I’m not perfect just forgiven.” My non-Christian friend Tara is irritated with this statement because she thinks it gives Christians a license to treat people however they feel because they can get forgiveness later. As Jesus believers we need to examine who we are and follow Titus 2:1 having the character and right living that identifies us as true Christians…everyday.
