I don't understand how we can hide the evidence that we are Christians. And I'm not talking about saying "praise the Lord saints" to everyone we meet, carrying a Bible, or any of the overt signs of being saved.
Rather, I'm referring to the issue of who we should be in our "conversation" or way of life. As you walk into our home, you know a small child lives there. There are no posters announcing his presence, his toys may not be all over every room, but the subtle signs are plain for all to see.
The refrigerator is his gallery. Then there are workbooks, games, slippers , you get the idea. His presence is everywhere.
Wherever we are there should be no doubt to whom we belong. We should leave a trail of praises, gratitude, love and peace behind us. The fragrance of Christ should emanate from our person, in spite of all of our only too human imperfections. The question on the floor ladies and gentlemen is this: If you were in a room full of people in a pretty social interaction, would there be enough evidence to convince those around you that you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ? Is there unmistakably evidence every single day?
As we walk testimony is one thing and I don't deny it's power. But what about the evidence?
