Acting...

How many of us have watched the big screen and thought..."wow I wish I could do that?" I know for me I have. Most of us have probably at one time or another wanted to be an actress. Well, the fact is I have been an actress. You know the kind, Acting like a Christian. It is possible that some of you reading this have been actresses too. And sadly enough I guess there are times when I still am. Are you?

After having my priority time with God this morning, I was talking to my husband on the phone. We were discussing how Christians should ACT. That's when it hit me. "People shouldn't ACT like Christians, they should BE Christians!"

How many of us act one way in front of one group and a whole different way in front of another. Or how about if the preacher is standing next to us...are we the same then as we are when we are NOT around our brothers and sisters at church?

Are we going around ACTING like Christians, or are we BEING Christians? When we are in front of other Christians whom we want to gain their respect, are we only ACTING like or BEING Christians. How about if we have a desire to have a higher position in our church? Are we ACTING or BEING who we claim to be...Christians?

Think about it...actresses are paid well aren't they? We have been paid well too, by Christ...He paid us with His life! Do we really want to disgrace Him and ourselves by ACTING like a Christian?

Don't be an actress...be a Christian!!!!

God Bless,
