What do you identify as?

There is so much in the media today about people identifying as a particular sex when apparently everyone can tell and recognize them as another one. There is great debate on the subject matter to which bathroom or dressing room they can use, etc, etc.  Apparently people can feel like a man one day and then decide that they want to be a woman the next....and it is on it's way to becoming somewhat social acceptable in some areas of our country. 
I don't know about you but if a person that looked like a man came into the women's restroom with me...well I would definitely punch him. I don't care if he "identifies" as a woman or not!

So who do people think you are by the way you look, act and dress? it is a great question! People should be able to know what you are about by how you present yourself. You can "feel" any way you want and you can identify as something as well but if you aren't operating as it then people will recognize you by your presentation. So do people know that you are a Christian? 

recognize-to acknowledge or take notice, to perceive to be something or someone previously known.
identify-to be or become the same,  to establish the identity of, to conceive as united groups.



Identification though is when you see something and you say, "I know who or what that is" and you give it a name. You positively identify and you speak it out in confidence. This is where we ought to be as Christ followers and Christ imitators. We should be so full of Christ-likeness that there is no mistake of identifying who we are. We shouldn't make it a mystery to anyone. We need to be bold and be that light so that when people are in need...they can reach out to the one who can give them the answers. That person is supposed to be YOU.
