Faithful Minister (3 of 5)
Series: II Timothy 3

II Timothy 3:10-11
The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the "Choose Life" license plate holder, the "Follow Me to Sunday-School" bumper sticker and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally . . . I assumed you had stolen the car."
People judge our character by our actions. Our actions show others our real character as we live out our everyday lives.
Proverbs 20:11 Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.
