Badges? We Don't Need No Stinkn' Badges!

You've seen them. Those nice shirts you see in Hastings, or at Hometown Craft that say things like "Jesus is the Light". Those are cool, but unnecessary. We shouldn't just look like God's people, we should act like God's people. If you look like a Christian, yet don't act like it, you give people yet another reason to turn away from Christ. People should see that you are a Christian a mile away because of your actions.

Why should people, who see someone wearing "He saved me!" cussing, and think "He is filled with the Holy Spirit!"? If you go and make disciples of all the nations, shouldn't you act like one? Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes you want to strike your enemy back. But every time you think that, try and remember "Is this the way Jesus would act?" So, we don't need big flashing signs that say "HEY! I'M A CHRISTIAN! COME GET SAVED!" When our signs are our hearts, words and actions. Badges? We don't need no stinkn' badges!
