"ARE YOU ACTING LIKE OUR PRESIDENT?"

I knew that title would get your attention. Look at this picture and then I will tell you why I entitled this post like that.

If this is actually our President shooting this rifle, then he is sending out mixed signals since he is pushing for a ban on guns, isn't he? It's one thing to say you stand for or against something but when people see you doing the exact opposite, then you have got problems.

If you say that you are a Christian, then you have the whole world watching you closely to see if your actions match what you say. If you tell somebody they shouldn't be doing something, then why should they catch you doing the same thing you told somebody else not to do? Your character and integrity suffer greatly when your words don't match your actions.

I pray that we will follow the words that the apostle Paul gave us in 1 Corinthians...
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (ESV) Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
