Who you say you are

Are you who you say you are? If you’re a Christian, it should be obvious. But is it? If someone overheard you talking to your friend in the mall, would your language help them know what you believe? Would someone looking at your Facebook page know that you love Jesus? Or would they be convinced that you’re more interested in worshiping yourself? If you’ve got lots of pictures and videos of just yourself (especially pictures you’ve taken yourself), this might be the case. And what about the kind of language you use on your friends’ walls? Or even the negativity you give off in your status updates? (I’m definitely guilty of this one!)

Instead, why don’t you try posting positive things, like the Scripture you studied that day or something you love or admire in a friend or family member? You never know who might see it and be encouraged or reminded to also make a stand for Christ in his or her online world.

The school year’s new. Show your classmates who you really are this year. Be a shining light for Christ!
