ACE #1: This is How We Do It

Singer Montell Jordan sang a classic R&B song called, "This is How We Do It".  To this very day, I would probably start snapping my fingers, butterflying, and snaking all at the same time to this song, but I would probably look around to see who is watching first.  My husband would probably break into the biggest Kappa Alpha Psi step ever accompanied by a twirling cane, but it would probably just be at the house! But this is what shocked the world:  "Montel Jordan Quits Music to Become a Pastor!" And it was after 17 years of performing in the music industry. But why the surprise? Because we think that real Christians don't dance?  We think real Christians don't go to parties or clubs?  We think real Christians don't sing R&B? We think real Christians don't drink liquor? Could he have been a Christian all along and just changed his profession...or maybe his behavior?  So, I often have to ask the question...what happens to someone's perception of a Christian who does the aforementioned things?  Before we start throwing stones at people, we probably need to look in the mirror first.  2 Corinthians 13:5 reads, "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.  Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you - unless, of course, you fail the test?" There are some things we all need to change before we tell someone else how to do it...
