Christians Do Poor Job of Representing Jesus, Teens Say in Global Study

Way to many Christians show meanness and crazy Facebook and twitter postings. Many of the political candidates that ‘so called Christians’ support are crazier than bed bugs! I just shake my head at what comes out of the mouths of many Republicans and Democrats and their supporters. For our children to see Christians acting so very badly hurts JESUS! Are you an awesome ambassador for JESUS? Don’t worship politicians over JESUS! Show our children JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!

One of the worst things in the world is POLITICAL ADVERTISING!!! Throwing so much mud and accusations at each other. And those people are to be our leaders?????

Do people see Jesus in you? What do they see in you?

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
