From her friend, the Pentecostal Recessionista, who may want to take a cue from the Master who said:
"By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (
John 3:35)
Not ... they will know you by your ornate bun, skirt with matching I-phone accessories and Coach bag:
Quote:
It didn’t happen overnight for me, but after years of my journey with Jesus Christ, I finally realized what a tremendous blessing there is in “looking like a Christian.” I also realized that obeying the Word of God by dressing modestly and leaving my hair long does not take away from who I am, but it actually enhances my personality.
When people see me and know, before ever speaking to me, that I’m a Christian, they automatically approach me differently and expect me to live by a higher standard. Even those who don't immediately recognize that I look the way I do because of my relationship with God still notice that I look different and many feel compelled to ask. By looking different from those who aren’t living for God and filled with His Spirit, we are making a statement that we are His people and that rather than being led by the culture around us, we're led by God and His Word.
Once you realize that God didn't call you out of the world to live like the world and look like the world, you realize that looking like a Christian is one of the most precious blessings God has afforded us in this life.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;”
1 Peter 2:9

Maybe they feel compelled to ask and treat you differently before even engaging you because it's ... just that you look .... DIFFERENT AND NOT NORMAL?
"Looking like a Christian" was never His call ....
And when do the fellas "look like Christians" ?????
