Consider your Lord and Master, you that call yourselves [Christ’s] disciples. Many look upon you that will not look unto [His] Word, and will judge [Jesus] by your practices. Do not damage [Him], by misrepresenting [Him]; as if [He] allowed those evils which you allow yourselves. Why should [He] be “wounded in the house of My friends” (Zech. 13:6). Why should you crucify [Him] afresh, and put [Him] to an open shame?

Amen! Many times in Scripture we are admonished to live so that the Word and name of the Lord be not profaned among the gentiles. Many get confused and think their life style proclaims the gospel, but indeed it cannot – yet our lives must be guided by the Spirit of God and bring Him glory while, with our mouths, we proclaim the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus.
