You Are Read

 There are two kinds of Christians in this world:

Those who live like they’re being read.

And those who live like no one’s watching.

Paul wasn’t confused.

He told the church in Corinth exactly what they were:

Col 3:2

There are two kinds of Christians in this world:

Those who live like they’re being read.

And those who live like no one’s watching.

Paul wasn’t confused.

He told the church in Corinth exactly what they were:

Stop Pretending You’re Not on Display

You’re read in the breakroom.

At the gas station.

At the gym.

By your kids.

By your spouse.

By the unsaved neighbor who knows you go to church.

The testimony of your life is not what you say you believe.

It’s how you act when things go wrong.

It’s how you talk when no one is correcting you.

It’s how you treat others when you’re tired, annoyed, or disrespected.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

You are always testifying.

Five Ways to Be a Christian Worth Reading

1. Stop being so easily shaken.

The world is falling apart. That’s not new.

What’s new is how many Christians fall apart right along with it.

You have the Word of God.

You know how this ends.

Act like it.

2. Live honestly—even when it costs you.

Your integrity is the spine of your testimony.

Without it, everything you say about Christ bends and collapses.

Lie once, and the Gospel you carry becomes suspect.

3. Look for ways to do good.

Don’t wait to be asked.

Jesus didn’t.

He noticed. He helped. He acted.

So should you.

4. Draw the line. Then don’t move it.

If the world doesn’t know where you stand, maybe it’s because you don’t.

Holiness is not blurry.

Draw the line. Set the standard. And don’t flinch.

5. Love the Church.

Not with talk. With time. With loyalty. With presence.

The world is watching to see if what you believe makes you love differently.

If they see bitterness, backbiting, and gossip—they won’t believe a word you say about Jesus.

You're a Book

So I’ll ask you:

Are you the kind people want to keep reading?

Or the kind they put back on the shelf?

Your coworkers are reading.

Your children are reading.

The world is reading.

And most of all—God is reading.

John 13:35

Reread your life.

What have your kids seen this week?

What have your coworkers picked up from you?
