Examples
Your the example... no matter what you do, no matter how you act, all them times you blow up, all them times you say things are okay, and people know there not, all them times you act different in one place, than the other... your being a example. No matter what you do, people will be watching you. If you are a christian, people will be watching you. You might not think they will be, but they end up watching you. I know this for a fact. See, I have a reputation where I suppose to be on a healthy diet the rest of my life. If I walk into McDonalds, and someone I know is attending, and eating there. They will walk up to me, and ask me.. "Justin! What are you eating!?!"
Im like.. "A salad.. whats it look like?"
Its even harder, because I am in the media.. Bradford is watching me, whether I realise it or not. Right? Right!!... they are.. people coming up to me, and telling me that im such a inspiration. Now what if I ruined that? I tell them, I am a follower of Jesus Christ... they look at that. They wonder if I am active as I say I am at Open Arms.. they wonder if I still pray before work outs.. they wonder if i am still losing the pounds. When I say I gained, they look at me like why?
So just be prepared.. no matter if you think your being watched or not.. the truth is, you are! You are the example.. you are the "christian" the Christ like follower. So act like it. Be Christ like, keep life Christ centered..
Much love brothers/sisters.

Justin,
Very good blog. You are absolutely correct. Everything you choose to do will have either a direct or indirect impact on yourself and others. What you say and do can cause someone to stray or get closer to God. I know where you are coming from because I am teaching life values in the martial arts. I can't go around acting like an idiot or I will be a hippocrit (sp?). I also like to plant the seeds of God during my teaching, which even puts more on my shoulders if I act foolish. I know where you are coming from, my friend.
