\nActs 11:19-26<\/font>
\n<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

This morning I used the reading in the March-April-May issue of Our Daily Bread<\/i>. (A good little devotional which I really should read with my family.)<\/p>\n

Here’s the opening paragraph by C. P. Hia:<\/p>\n

My Chinese family name sets me apart from others with different family names. It also confers on me a family responsibility. I am a member of the Hia family. As a member of the family, I am expected to carry on the Lia line and uphold the honor of my ancestors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m a Roth. I want my children to carry my name with honor. I’m pleased (and proud, too often) when they do. And dismayed (and at times even ashamed) when they do not.<\/p>\n

But it’s not just my own name. It’s my father’s name. Do I carry his name with the honor I wish my children would carry mine?<\/p>\n

Even more important than that is the Lord’s name.<\/p>\n

“…Christians first…”<\/font><\/b> (26).<\/p>\n

Do I carry it with honor or do I take it in vain?<\/p>\n

Well, back to the little book and the next-to-the-last paragraph for today:<\/p>\n

If you call yourself a Christian, does your life tell others who Jesus is? Are you hungry for God’s Word? Do your actions bring honor or shame to Christ’s name?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who? Me?<\/b>
