A Witness of Faith

By Cynthia Bailey-Rug

"[No] you yourselves are our letter of recommendation (our credentials), written in your hearts, to be known (perceived, recognized) and read by everybody." 2 Corinthians 3:2 (AMP)

Many Christians know this verse, but how many consider the seriousness of it? As a Christian, are you aware that people are watching to see if you are serious about your faith?

God takes our witness of what we believe very seriously, as should His children. This book will encourage you, show you how to be a good example of your faith and improve your relationships with God, yourself and your fellow man.

Introduction

These days, Christians are getting a bad reputation. Many who do not share our faith tend to think we are all unreasonable, judgmental, critical and even crazy. Sadly, the behavior of many Christians makes that a rather easy conclusion to reach. Christians are acting pretty wild these days. Some examples of what I mean are:

•Christians protesting at the funerals of soldiers killed in combat because they were gay, rather than comforting their families during their time of grief.

•Christians murdering doctors who perform abortions, because they say these people are murderers, rather than focus on changing abortion laws.

•Many Christians are saying people who support non-Godly behavior are being punished by God when going through hard times, rather than offering comfort and helping them to make proper changes, if they want to.

•Many Christians are trying to scare people into the faith by telling them that they will go to hell if they continue participating in sinful behaviors, rather than explaining the message of Jesus Christ, and allowing the person to make an informed decision on whether or not they wish to be born again, and accepting their decision.

•Cults are created under the guise of Christianity, and many of those in these cults are brainwashed, financially ruined, or forced to perform lewd sexual acts with members of the cult, all in the name of God.

Due to these radical behaviors, many non-believers visibly cringe when someone says that he or she is
