 “WRONG APPEARANCE!”
I Thessalonians 5:22
“Abstain from all appearance of evil.”
Anytime a believer compromises with the world there is an appearance of wrong. It may be easy for the believer to argue that no sin was actually  committed,  but what signals are being sent?

The Apostle Paul spoke about weaker believers who were struggling with the issue of eating meat offered to idols. If these baby believers had been a part of some group that worshipped idols and considered the meat offered as sacred, they would carry that stigma along with them once they had become believers.

Paul says that the meat had no such stigma for him, but if in eating it the weaker brother was made to stumble, Paul would abstain from eating it. I wish each of us would have that same sensitivity for others. We need to evaluate our actions in relation to the impact they have on those around us. We should be walking and talking examples of what true believers are to be.

Here are a few things to evaluate in your life that may give a wrong appearance: The way we dress, the words we use, the places we go, the things we listen to, the people we associate with, the things we watch ... just to name a few. Here is the question: Are you giving any appearance of sin or evil in your life?
  
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
