an interesting thought at Bible study the other week
one of the other women and i were talking about JESUS fish on the backs of vehicles. we both feel the same way: we won't put them on our cars because we don't want to be bad examples when we speed or cut people off or whatever.
so basically, instead of putting on JESUS and getting rid of the sin, we decide to not profess JESUS and keep on doing what we're doing. it's sad, really.

Yep, it is. And I think the same thing about myself.
I will tell you that the other day this man honked and flipped off an elderly woman crossing in the crosswalk and I'll I could think was, "If you are gonna be a jerk you probably shouldn't put your church's bumper sticker on your car."
I bought one of those magnets years ago and kept it in my car...for years. Because I was afraid of being a bad example, too. I guess it's good to avoid hypocrisy, but you're right, Mel. Wouldn't it be better if we could just live as a good example, even when we're driving??
just found this on baseballchapel.org:
'I was talking to someone the other day aobut the pick up and drop off lines at her daughter's school...There is one notorious van that never lets my friend in; she said it is the van with the Christian fish on the back. How confusing that is for the recipient of an unkind act. The fish represents the love of GOD.
'Professing to be a Christian is like having a fish on your forehead....' - christi eldred
That's a very good quote! I'd do well to remember it!!
very good points
