Therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for
they do not practice what they teach.
A hold-up man with the crucifix on his back. Does this seem discordant to you? Of course it does,
but do we also do the same with our Christian symbols on our neck, car etc?
(Matthew 23:3
NRSV)
Two young men in New London, Connecticut, were charged in connection with a convenience
store robbery and murder. Their fate was sealed by a video surveillance tape from the store.
During the robbery one of the gunmen pulled his shirt over his face to hide his identity, but in
doing so he revealed the strange words "Forgive Me" tattooed on his abdomen and a crucifix
tattooed on his back. He was not hard to identify.
Dear God, teach my heart and my mind to be faithful to honoring you in all aspects of my life.
Amen.
