Identity theft is
a problem most of us didn’t think about 10 years ago. Today it is common to
hear the stories of victims who are trying to salvage their name and credit
rating after learning that someone has stolen and misused a password, social
security number, or charge card. None of us can escape t.v. commercials and
telemarketers who inundate us with fear producing fraud protection offers.
Being alert and knowing the danger of identity fraud helps us think twice
before giving personal information that could permit others access to our bank
account.
I got to thinking
about this from a Spiritual perspective. When we identify ourselves as children
of God and even more when we let it be known that we are followers of Jesus, we
assume the identity of Christ. His
credit rating gets mingled with our own. Our faithfulness and fruitfulness
reflect to others His character. God Himself takes a risk with His identity
whenever He allows us to use His name. But He must believe we are worth it.
Protect God’s identity, live life today with integrity, humility and love.
Your pastor and
partner in ministry,
Kyle
