I was watching “Street Magic” when I heard David Blaine say the following about why he does what he does. “I want to project an image”. I’ve thought about his statement this past week. I’ve come to consider that that statement is true about human beings. We have a inner need for expression. Why would that be in us. We can look to the source for the answer. Does God have a need for projecting an image? Let me back up a little bit. What is the definition of “projecting an image”? For David it was that he wanted the artist in him to be seen. For others it’s the revealing of what’s truly in their hearts. And for others it may be a false projection because they don’t like their true self. Right now I’m speaking about the revealing of what is true and real. Yes, I believe God does project a image. Colossians tells us that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. When you see Jesus you see God. The cross is the powerful symbol that Jesus projected across the heart screens of this world. Will anyone tune into that channel? It’s your choice. But this I will tell you you’ll never be the same if you do. – You’ll be free.

Christians project an image. I’ve read some of the comments on your other topics, people look and see how we act and react to situations and trials as well as just everyday life.
God tells us to “be holy as I am holy” (my paraphrase); do people around us see that?
Or do they see a church not engaging the culture, but partaking of it, living as the world lives.
Far to often they see us compromising our ethics and grieving the Spirt.
Jesus Christ should be our model for everything thought, said and done and we need to put away the dead things of this fallen, hell-bent world and live our lives for the glory of Jesus Christ, by His grace and strength.
Compromise breeds corruption in our walk, it is time to walk circumspectly knowing the days and times in which we live, that they are evil.
It is by His grace alone and the power of the Spirit that we can even stand.
