When he slowed to a stop at a yellow light, the woman hit the horn, began cussing, screaming, and angrily gesturing in frustration. As she continued raving and ranting, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a police officer who ordered her to exit the car with her hands up. He took her to the police station and placed her in a holding cell.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the officer returned and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Ma&#8217;am. This has all been a big mistake. When I pulled up behind you, I noticed your &#8216;What Would Jesus Do?&#8217; license plate holder and your &#8216;Follow Me to Sunday School&#8217; bumper sticker. I assumed the car was stolen!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The point of the above story is that Satan doesn&#8217;t care so much if you&#8217;re a Christian as long as <strong>you don&#8217;t act like one<\/strong>. If he can get you to live by his lifestyle, he can damage and disarm you every time and dishonor the name of Christ in the process (cf. 2 Timothy 4:10; 2 Timothy 4:14).<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Jesus calls His followers to be the &#8220;salt of the earth&#8221; (Matthew 5:13) and to let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our heavenly Father (Matthew 5:16).<\/p>\n<p>If we&#8217;ll put Jesus in the driver&#8217;s seat of our lives, we can better demonstrate God&#8217;s love and concern toward all people (Gal. 6:10; Titus 3:8), avoiding any frustration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The story is told of a stressed-out woman who was tailgating a man as they drove on a busy boulevard.
