DO YOU BRING SHAME TO GOD'S NAME?
by Lewis E. Thomas DO YOU BRING SHAME TO GOD'S NAME? Are you a "true" Christian who brings honor and glory to God's name?
Or do you often "do things" that bring shame to God's name?
Are "all the words you speak" seasoned with love and grace?
Or do you speak "unholy words" at times that bring upon God a reproach and a disgrace?
"Can all Christians be made to look holy by your conduct and your lead?"
Or do you bring shame to God's name with your carnal lusts and your selfish greeds?
Do you bring a reproach on God's Church by the way you treat others?
Do you hold evil grudges against your friends, sisters, neighbors, and brothers?
Every Christian is to be a "REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRIST" 24/7!
A True Christian is supposed to point and lead lost sinners to God and to Heaven!
When someone does you wrong do you curse them out with that Christian tongue that belongs to God?
Does your tongue bring shame to God's name on that path you trod?
When someone does you wrong do you forgive them and love them anyway?
Or do you scheme and plot on how you'll get even with them one day?
Do you let "PROFANITY" live in your heart to burst forth and come out at times on your tongue?
Dont you realize "PROFANITY" defiles you and those around you, be they old or young?
Are you a Christian "in name only" with no holy conduct or behavior to "back it up"?
Do you bring shame to God's name with unchristlike behavior that stems from a heart yet corrupt?
When folks see you coming on that path you trod...
Do they say: "Yonder comes a Church hypocrite!"
Or do they say:
"Yonder comes a true born again Child of God?
Do you bring shame to God's name?...
