Can 'THEY' Tell?

'THEY' can be coworkers, friends, family, strangers, neighbors, anyone...and more specifically-none Christ followers. I come to work everyday at a fairly new job and I always want to talk about God, and just see where people are at on their journey through life but I often chicken out. I think they can tell there is something "different" about me, (just by comments that are made) but I haven't brought up the subject of church or Christ that much. -This morning I was getting ready for work, and I was going to where my Lifechurch.tv shirt, and said to my husband, "no" i can't wear this to work, I could get fired. My husband said something I think we all need to hear and have in the back of our minds.

"In the Bible it talks about persecution. Today people think they are persecuted when someone makes fun of them or laughs cause they carry there Bible.
But persecution is really laying it all out there. It’s getting beaten for what you believe, mocked, ridiculed, risking your job, even laying down your life for what you believe!"-(husband)


SO I guess my challenge for everyone is: can 'THEY' tell your a Christ follower? Show the world who you follow and who you are in Christ. Even if it may mean your job! God provides...

AND YES-I did wear the shirt today! :)
