If You Were Arrested For Being A CHRIStian Would There Be Enough Evidence To Convict You?
by Paul D. Fisher    May21, 2000

 If you were arrested for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you? Now this may seem like a strange thing to be asking, but think about it for a minute. Based on the external features of your life can someone know that you are a Christian? We are commanded to live our lives in such a way that people can see a difference between us and them.

      Could the amount of times in a week that you go to church be such that it could be evidence?  If they searched your car or truck would they find any incriminating evidence? What if they searched your house? Would they find a well used Bible? Would they find any other books that would be considered evidence? What about your bank statements? Any evidence there?
 
    Once they collected all the physical evidence they could, would it be enough to convict you or at least cause them to start an investigation? After interviewing your boss, co-workers, neighbors and family would they bring you to trial? Or would they dismiss the case?
 
    "Ye are the salt of the earth:... Ye are the light of the world...Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and gIorify your Father which is in heaven"
(Matthew 5:13-16).
