How do you typically let others know that you're a Christian? (Serendipity Bible 10th Anniversary Edition, page 1020).
At this point in my life the question as to how I signify that I'm a Christian seems a little weird. I might as well ask, “How do I signify that I have brown eyes?” or “How do I signify that I'm 6 foot tall?” It never occurs to me that I must signify about such things. Being a Christian is simply who I am. I suppose there were times in my life when I have been asked my height or eye color—say, some fifty years ago when I applied for a driver's license. Perhaps the question was asked to prevent me from lending my license to someone who did not meet my description. But now there's a photo on the license, and it's quite true that a picture is worth a thousand words.
That's
pretty much where I stand about signifying that I'm a Christian. It
matters little what I allege about myself, but it matters much the
picture I project by my attitude, demeanor, and actions. “Brand”
matters less than the faithful service of the product. I am
content to be “generic” so long as the essential ingredients
remain intact.
