An observation
This was sent to me by a friend, I have seen it many times before, laughed and deleted it. This time, it dawned on me, this is one of the very reasons Christians are looked down on, because it’s true too many times. It seems, to someone who is not a Christian, just because you claim to be one, doesn’t mean you act like one. Too often people make a big show and just don’t follow through with actions to back it up.
If every, so called, Christian would DO as their faith and religion states, there would be far less trouble in the world today. Do people really believe making a statement of faith and being baptized is all that is needed and their actions hold no consequences because they are saved?
Read the joke and think about it. Do you fit into the same category in one form or another? If so, maybe it’s time to make a few changes.

An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him... I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk.
Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."
