How Do You Recognize a Christian?

A logo is all about identity. 

Wikipedia defines a logo as a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to promote public identification and recognition.

Logos can convey certain virtues or values without the need for a lengthy explanation. They can also create strong emotions or reactions.  A logo is a declaration, an expression, an exclamation. A logo indicates allegiance to someone or something; a product, priority, or person. A logo communicates a message.

In our current culture, identification is a huge deal.  We wear our allegiances on t-shirts, baseball caps, bumper stickers, and tattoos. We declare our affiliations and identities on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. So what does your life say about who you are, and what message are you communicating?

We are wrapping up our summer series How Do You Recognize a Christian? this Sunday, by taking a look at the last of the Apostle John’s letters. In his final letter, John urges his readers to consider the importance of who or what you represent, how you represent them, and the ripple effect that representation has on the world around you.
