As Christians, we hear the question all the time....What Would Jesus Do? Every action, every word you speak, is perceived by the world as a reflection of who you are. Researchers have shown that first impressions are made by someone within 10 seconds of meeting you. So...what is the impression you give off?

Is it a different impression at work? At school? In front of certain friends? The answer for most of us (if we are honest with ourselves) is that we DO give off a different side of ourselves around certain people. But being a Christian is to be "like Christ." This is such and old school message...but I feel that our generation is missing the entire point. They are blurring the line between conforming, and being a true Christian. When being "like Christ" is offensive to some, compromise tends to set in because we are afraid to offend people. But God has not given us a spirit of fear, but rather we need to have a spirit of boldness.

There is a great message by Pastor Andy Stanley from Northpoint Community Church in Atlanta. His current series talks about Joseph and how he behaved knowing that God was with him at ALL times. No matter the circumstances. We all know Joseph's story...but put yourself in his shoes? How would you act when your brothers sell you? How would you act when your master wrongly accuses you? How would you act being thrown in prison for something you did not do? We all have experiences that can relate, and probably not as extreme as Joseph's. So ask yourself...if you really believe God is with you...What Would You Do?

God bless,
