Exude

Exude-(of a person) display (an emotion or quality) strongly and openly.
"Mr. Thomas exuded friendship and goodwill"

Today, this thought ran through my head. Well, not just today, it has in the past, but I felt like putting something to paper today. There are so many people in this world that claim the title of Christian. Many days, they will talk about Bible study or church sermons. That's awesome. What's not awesome is when they do not do these things. It's not awesome when these same ones have unpure conversations with others. It is the complete opposite of what they claim when they can speak of going to church and partying in the same breath. I could go on and on with examples, but I will simply stop there.

Another issue with this is the huge BROKEN stepping stone this poor display of character can be to those who are trying to better their walk with God. Whether it is a new faith Christian or maybe a lost sinner, this weak display hinders growth and may even prevent others from coming to Jesus. This poor decision to display the world, yet claim Christ, puts it into other's minds that it's OK to be unpure, be of the world, and not walk closely to Jesus. Do not be the broken stepping stone that stops one from coming to Jesus.

Exude the character that you strive to be!
Not the character to match your surroundings!
