"'everything bad [the ungodly] can seize hold of in our life is twisted maliciously against Christ and His teaching. the result is that by our fault God's sacred name is exposed to insult. the more closely we see ourselves being watched by our enemies, the more intent we should be to avoid their slanders, so that their ill-will strengthens us in the desire to do well.'
as believers we should seek to be exemplary in every aspect of our lives, doing our best for the sake of Christ and His gospel. our work, play, driving and shopping should all be done with a view that unbelievers will be attracted to the gospel that they see at work in our lives."
(the content of this post as well as the title comes straight from tuesday's devotional by jerry bridges... the quote within the quote is from john calvin)
