Christian Lifestyle
The apostle Peter wrote,
“Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” 1 Peter 2:11,12.
Dear Christian are you doing what the apostle Peter is telling you to do?
When people look at your life and lifestyle what do they see?
Francis of Assisi said two things every Christian needs to consider. He wrote,
What are you doing?
Please think about it.

Dear Christian are you doing what the apostle Peter is telling you to do?
When people look at your life and lifestyle what do they see?
Do people see a life, and lifestyle Jesus would be proud of?
OR
Do they see at best a religious imitation of the secular word.
OR ,
Do they see someone who is insensitive toward people of other faiths and lifstyles?
OR
Even worse
Do they see someone who is prejudice or even a bigot?
What is your life, lifestyle, words and deeds telling the people around you?Francis of Assisi said two things every Christian needs to consider. He wrote,
“Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”
And
“The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today”
Your actions as a professing Christian may and can have eternal consequences. By what you say and do, you will either cause people to at the very least consider comeing to know Christ as their Lord and Saviour, or push them away.What are you doing?
Please think about it.
