What have you done today?

[Droobie]

In the world but not of the world. We have been placed here for a purpose, but how many of us are living out that purpose that God has for us?

[caffeinefree]

I hope I am. Today.. I talked to a friend of mine who's struggling, and I invited him to come to our youth group. He said yes :). (he's been to church once with me before, and that was to come see my baptism, but otherwise he doesn't go.) It made me happy. We talked for a while, and it was good for both of us.

[Konnie]

Yes.

[ZiSunka]

Have you done anything as a Christian today?
Since "Christian" is my identity, not just something I "do," I guess everything I've "done" today is "as a Christian."

It's like asking if I've done anything as a woman today, or as a blonde today, or as a Midwesterner today. Being a Christian is the essential part of me, so it is impossible for me to do anything any other way, but "as a Christian."

[Stormy]

Lambslove has my answer. :)

[A Taffer]

Lambslove answer summed it up!

[Droobie]

Hmmm.. okay... then what have you done today as a Christian, that only a Christian would do?

[A Taffer]

Hmmm.. okay... then what have you done today as a Christian, that only a Christian would do?
Today I treated some people that had made me angry the way I would have liked to be treated. I was nice to them. :)

[dbaryl]

Actually, I just woke up about 80 minutes ago, but have already done something only a Christian would do - pray. :D

Actually, the first thing (well, sorda the first thing) that I did when I got on the computer was go to theprayerroom.com (http://www.theprayerroom.com). It really is a great thing to start the morning by praying for others :)


Droobie - thank you for your God-centered polls, they always remind me of what should be the priority in our lives. God bless you for this. :)

[ametropia]

When I was insulted by some people, I showed them as much love and understanding as I could, and asked God to bless them always...

1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

This particular passage has been ringing in my ears since I heard it, and I've quoted it before. I think back on all the ways I handled insult in my past, and boy did I handle it wrong.. I'm glad to walk in His Word now :D It is such a better way.

God bless!
- ame

[catch22]

I'm fasting. No food.

[Crys2God]

I prayed today.

[GirlForChrist]

i went to a rally in NSU for FCCLA ( this is in oklahoma by the way) and it was a blast...the college students put on a fashion show..........AWESOME

[Kathy]

I prayed,as I usually do everyday. :pray:

[loveHIM_liveHIM]

does encouraging others on CF count?

[mesue]

I read my Bible this morning, I prayed afterwards. I asked the Lord to bless that incredibly slow driver in front of me. He blessed me, the driver turned.

[Snowy]

I'm doing my best :)

[mesue]

Hmmm.. okay... then what have you done today as a Christian, that only a Christian would do?
I read His Word today. Some from Psalms, some from Proverbs in addition to my morning devotional. I had a chance to fellowship at work today. I didn't witness to the lost, except through my walk. I hope my walk is acceptable to God. :)

[Gamecock]

pray

[JC_FREAK]

I invited my friend to our Christian Union party. Please pray that she will come. She isn't saved but hopefully God will transform her, convict her and save her!!

[FervidPrincess]

I most certainly did do something as a Christian today...something I do everday... I gave my unconditional love to my family and friends. I thanked God for giving me my husband and my children, they are a blessing directly from God.

[Lizzy16]

I am not sure, I woke something like an hour ago, and I did pray, I have thanked God and Jesus in my heart, I was kind to my family though they were annoying me a little bit....

[Glorianna]

I'm a Christian so everything I do is as a Christian! Everything I do is for God-whether it be sleeping, studying, working, eating, or spending time reading the Bible.

[Chriswoods83]

I have been giving advice to a guy i discipled.

[alfcantor]

ive prayed today, discussed God, congregated with other christians (just hanging out... not at church or anything), and did some studying on evangelism and the word of God. So, to answer your question, YES!

[alfcantor]

Oh, and if you think that is crazy you ought to see me on thursday when I do all that plus:
*go to worship team practice
and
*go to work (at a christian radio station)

[mle]

everything I do is as a Christian because I am a Christian

[jeshohaia]

Well...hence I believe in Christ. That so much as I can not even state the begining of the honor in that. My whole life is to G-D...so everyhting I do is as a Christian.

[Niko]

if your at cf, wouldnt you be doing something as a Christian?

[RocketMan]

Despite my many many failings as a Christian I finally deleted my beloved porno stash today. I thought that was pretty Christian.

[Violet]

That's wonderful Rocketman! Good for you :clap:

I prayed and read the bible a bit....and I'm going to do the same before bedtime...

[kat00_ca]

Does talking with my christian friends count?

[awksm]

I shared God's love with a workmate of mine. And prayed for her situation to ease.

[Wing]

world changing, no.

[Tangnefedd]

I have just created a card for my sister's elderly father-in-law who is poorly, but I would do that Christian or not. I don't think Christians have the monoply on doing nice and caring things.

[Breanainn]

I think I have, but I suppose that's really not for me to decide...;)

[Bladecarver]

I have started helping my church as a Youth Leader, and I think this is where God wants me to serve Him.

[TheMainException]

gosh, now i feel guilty.

[Atai Catherine]

Today i have encourage a down striken friend who had felt she was hated by every one on earth and said she is ver unlucky and very poor. then as we walked on i showed her some one begging and half naked. this lightend up her face and she became happy.

my advice to her was that when you are law and feeling lost just count allthat you posses that money can not buy and read your Bible Jer. 29:11

Atai Catherine

[GlowingFirefly]

Yep. I helped out my journalism teacher today by going to school to meet with her and prepare for the school year.

That counts doesn't it? :)

[Akina Aiko]

I Think I did, I prayed.

[just_dance]

:) Yes I danced you see when I dance I can feel the sprit in me and I let that came out in my dancing throught it I feel more closer to God:) :clap: :clap: :clap:

[cat has felt the light!]

I put no, but I just remembered that I have doh :doh: sorry I bought a wwjd band today, my last one broke and I prayed and I came on here.
C@ xx

[DevoutHeiress]

Everyday is a gift of God. I thank Him for giving me another day to fulfill His Will. :)

[cubanpete]

Yep.

[Amy in hyper Land!]

yep, i have prayed and come onto cf... infact that is all I have done today as it is only 8:30 in the morning/

[Kris_J]

I've inhaled & exhaled then inhaled then exhaled.

as just a person I posted a GA thread 'honour thy mother & father' in the light of the booming industry for nursing home institutions - with no takers from atheists and just one response from a theist (good on you Evee!).

[tinkerbell]

Some of these replys disturb me a little bit. As Christians, everything that we do should be done as a Christian. There is no such thing as a part-time Christian. It is our responcibility to give our lives as a living sacrifice to God each day so that He can use us to fulfill His plan in our lives. If this is how we live our lives, than everything we do will be as a Christian. Granted we will slip and try to follow our own path at times. We are humans and we are sinful, but our goal as Christians is to point to God in all that we do. It is not praying a prayer or doing a kind act that makes us a Christian, but rather, those things will flow naturally from a heart filled with God. As Christians, all that we do will point to our Heavenly Father.

[zoe_uu]

No, but I'm not a Christian.

[happyinhisgrace]

No, but I'm not a Christian.lololol. That was good:D

[Rillik]

I Talked to My Children About How Jesus died for our sins and Beat Death and The Grave.

Music Is a GREAT conversation Starter for Young Children :)

[DeltaJ]

I prayed

[kwimmer]

That's a silly question. If I, as a Christian, do anything, whether right or wrong, do I not do it as a Christian? I'm with Lambslove.

[nuarc]

huh?
Im with kwimmer

[faith by day]

Yes- I try to do everything based on what is right in Gods eyes! I make time for just 'me and him' everyday

[~Mrs. A2J~]

My husband and I tried set up a meeting today to resolve some issues with another Christian. We are trying to solve our issues the way God has said to do so in the Bible.

Sarah

[hakrev]

Well I gave a few items from the armory out to some random people.

[indeep]

I led an invigorating discussion at small group, because our usual leader wasn't present, and we didn't really have anything prepared. We had 3 hours of talking about everything from the fruits and gifts of the spirit, to the faults of lutheran theology/practice, to how to fix our church, it was great. :)

[OhhhChung]

I have evangelised.

[Mimi]

praying right now!

[~Lynn~]

I prayed for my unborn child.

[Touring3D]

^ I prayed for your un-born child just now also!



I preached on the internet. :preach:

[Dr.Phil]

I did my homework..Went to school. Not in that exact order though...LOL.. :preach:..Preach Brotha!
Talking to Felix..who is also a fellow Christian..I sorta Preached to..:cool:

[Mimi]

God is in my heart....every second of the day...:)

[ApopkaDad]

Yes. Prayer, Bible study, writing, loving my family.

[sammipher]

I have prayed and given my husband support...he has had a ruff time at work today..he is in the medical field...I listened to him vent and told him how much I love him and paid him a visit at lunch.

[cinni]

I have tried to encourage a few ppl in cf today who seem to be struggling and are looking for someone to reach out to them. I don't however do this because it is what god requires but somrehting i would do for anyone i found who would be reaching out.

cinni

[Constantine]

I went to church today (Divine Liturgy), does that count as a Christian thing? ;)

[The "J"]

I do everything as a Christian.

[The "J"]

Because I am a Christian!

[Sascha Fitzpatrick]

I prayed when I woke up - a big prayer of thanks that God answered my prayer

I encouraged my boyfriend and those on the forum

I was a good steward of my money - got a new pair of pyjamas for $7 (it's the end of winter)

Later on tonight I'll be doing a bible study.

[tqpix]

Besides studying God's word and praying? No.

[TheDandyMan]

I will say no. So far, I have woken up, started my laundry, and went out to eat a bagel. I did not keep track whether I did anything "Christian" or not. Just what is a Christian act? Something morally correct? I don't think that's the answer.

[Moros]

Nothing really. Wore my neck-cross outside of my shirt today. Got a few curious looks from people.

[DanielJamesSimon]

Er, well, today I went to school, I did a Test at school, I practiced a school play, I sang in our vocal ensemble and our vocal quartet, I played an hour or so of the piano, I read the paper, I chatted to my girlfriend, I went and saw a movie - The Bourne Supremacy, I didn't like it all that much - I finished some school work, I went for a jog in the rain, I returned a borrowed CD to a friend and gave him a couple of interesting newspaper articles about the Greens party here in Australia (don't get me started on them), I made a move in an internet chess game.... where am I going with all this? I did it all as a Christian!

If tomorrow I went and told a lie so I could get away with stealing a car, I'd be doing it as a Christian... I sin as a Christian. I'm a Christian, so whatever I do, I do as a Christian..... *confused* I think I understand the point of the thread though, and if it means did I do any "Christian acts" - well, yes, I did all of that mentioned above (except telling a lie and stealing a car). "Whatsoever ye do..." we all know the verse. That's my opinion on a "Christian act".

[Busybee]

My mother in law and I had a wonderful discussion about the roles of Christian wives in the home. We spoke about how Jesus suffered for us. What it could be like during tribulation. It was enlightening and enriching. I also read to my 4 year old out of an old AWANA book. :)

[Raithlin]

I witnessed to a Muslim. Time will tell as to the seeds growing, but he has asked to continue the conversation later.

The seeds of God's Word never return empty-handed.

[okiemommy26]

yes

[Neal]

YES, in fact! One of the sopranos in choir asked me why I was so happy, and I said with a smile, "God. That's what I always say."

[Maeyken]

I talked to my housemate to help her practice her English instead of doing my laundry. But I'm sure that is not the only thing I've done today. I really don't keep track.

[Droobie]

Just to remind peoples... I meant what have you done today as a Christian that you wouldn't have done as a non-Christian.

[AvgJoe]

I try to live for Hime daily.

[Angeldove97]

Yes... prayed the Rosary, read my Bible, studies the readings for tomorrow's Mass, and said my prayers. ^_^

[~HopeFloats~]

Yes, I had my morning Prayer with my Heavenly Father:prayer:

[Tempest Gale]

every night I pray to God to forgive me of all my sins even if I don't think I did anything.

[Lake]

guilty of not doing anything,ok I just said a prayer for a safe commute to work.can I change my vote now:cool:

[Lake]

wow...:thumbsup: you're on the road to the pearly gates:cool: Yes... prayed the Rosary, read my Bible, studies the readings for tomorrow's Mass, and said my prayers. ^_^

[deetersdee]

You'll have to ask my right hand. I think she's keeping it a secret.

[lgintrnj]

i voted yes

have a great day lori

[Ric]

In the world but not of the world. We have been placed here for a purpose, but how many of us are living out that purpose that God has for us?
Yes, I've shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

[Angeldove97]

wow...:thumbsup: you're on the road to the pearly gates:cool:

Trust me I dont do all of that every single day. Sometimes I can barely say one prayer I'm so busy... so don't make me out to be a saint. I'm far far far away from those gates... but I'm getting closer every day that I put my life in the hands of the Lord. :holy:

[die2live]

I was briefly able to talk to my boss about my Christian beliefs. I don't know if it meant anything to him. I pray it did

[aalona]

1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.


I like that...we can endure a lot knowing that...

[Hisbygrace]

Today I e-mailed some encouraging messages and held back my temper when someone was being nasty to me.

[flaglady]

I prayed for a patient and discussed Christian ethics briefly with a colleague. And I always pray on the way to work.

[Stacey]

Yes.

[Witness Of His Love]

yes

[GodFlute2]

I live as a Christian. Dispite it being almost 11 am, I do what I can for God.

[beehoney]

In the world but not of the world. We have been placed here for a purpose, but how many of us are living out that purpose that God has for us?
I voted yes, I've prayed.

[Quentin]

I've prayed today if that counts. :pray:

[bill'swife]

yes

[GodsGrl2]

I guess.

[tel0004]

I helped move wood for a church, they are building another building. Hopefully this week I can help build some stuff

[4square]

I am away in Japan with work - I work for a large airline.

I escorted a sick crew member to the doctors and went and bought her medicine and got her some supplies - water, yogurt, fruit, jelly and some sweets.

She was soo thankful and was surprised that someone would do that and ask for no payment in return - I told her it is my Christian duty and privilege to care for her.

- Chris. :)

[Rome]

Yes, today in school people make fun of me and I pray for them. I don't make fun of them back and just leave it alone mentally, but pray for them to stop and follow God better.

[mark53]

Yes!!!

Everything I do - I do as a Christian! We have no choice in that, as a Christian, WHATEVER WE do others judge Christ and Christianity BY what we do!

What we have to say is NOT what most people go by. TOO much emphasis is put on various outreach methods and techniques BUT most people don't go by the words, they go by our actions.

This is a much harder way of looking at things! We need to LIVE our faith NOT Talk it. :preach: :)

[Chrissy4]

I have done many things today, that a lost person would not do.
A few I prayed
I talk to a friend about church related events.
I have showed love and respect for people.

[Amy47]

I prayed...

[mimipower999]

I read the Bible ...

[MN John]

What a strange question. Maybe it only seems strange to me because I amin full-time Christian service.
But yes, of course, I have spent pretty much the entire day so far serving the Lord, studying the Word, praying, fellowshipping, etc.

[CaptainMercy]

I yielded to the decision of my superiors on this website!

[Zoomer]

What's the preoccupation with works?

I do everything I do, whether it is a "christian" thing or not to the glory of God.

[Followers4christ]

Yes.

[shamrocker]

praying, understanding, helping others as much as i can, listening, discussing church with my significant other.:angel: everyday occurrences to me.

[Artificial Intelligence]

Hmmm.. okay... then what have you done today as a Christian, that only a Christian would do?Had fellowship with God and worked on some 3D models for a Christian based video game. Work was a wash though, gotta do it all over again (not quite right) but God and I are still on speaking terms so everything okay dokay :sorry:
hrm sleep fasted again today... me better takes a nap :sleep:

[jesusfreak7707]

yup

[cygnusx1]

coughed and sneezed ......... loads :D

[firestar]

Treating others with respect and patience

[Kathryn13]

I should say lived! I lived with Christ as my Lord! I also served in one of the purposes which God has called me though, which I guess is what was really being asked.

[crusader4peace]

yes, today i helped my friend by advising christian principles and thereby strengthen hope and faith.

[AngCath]

first thing i do at work every day is chapel with the day care :)

[firestar]

We start the day listening to Christian shows on the radio.

[imastarforhim]

I try to do everything as a Christian

[phoenixx]

ummm it was thanksgiving... is that something christian??

[revduane]

A friend with her daughter, and sister. In ways that she can learn to say no, and not feel guilty.

[lollipop686]

Today? No. I just woke up.

[hischeeseburger]

Yes, today I went to swim at the club and spoke to one of the life guards a little about my faith and Jesus.

[Blizzard1]

In the world but not of the world. We have been placed here for a purpose, but how many of us are living out that purpose that God has for us?

It is such a shame when American evangelism gets exported.

[crusader4peace]

today i prayed for my foes. :crossrc:

[Blizzard1]

I spilled spot remover on my dog and now he's gone.

[Saruman]

i prayed

[God4Gives]

Sadly... no I haven't done anything Christian today... I haven't done anything bad today but I haven't done anything good either.... *shrug*

[gadiscinta]

Posting at Christian Forums considered doing something Christian?

:clap: :preach: :confused: :bow:

gadis cinta~ the girl who loves beyond boundaries.

[Girlscanridebullstood]

yes i have.

[Big Mouth Nana]

I posted several scriptures on a Christian forum...not this one, LOL.

[gal4God]

idk

[SearchingintheNight]

I don't get you meaning. No I'm not CHristian

[seamonster]

"as a Christian"?
I do everything as a Christian

[greenjeans]

yes I listen to a friend that was struggling. I also forgave someone that told lies about me.

[HollyHobbie]

Not outside my home

[Godslilgurlalways]

Yes as me being a christian things I do I do them as one being one:)

[pdudgeon]

yes, i went to church, talked to several people there, posted some encouragement here,read my bible, prayed, and praised God.

[CountryLady]

yes

[chrissieanne]

I loved my children and my husband and thanked God for them.

[Elisheva413]

Today I prayed, today I read the Word, today I asked for God to guide my life and give wisdom to my husband.
Elisheva413

[Swede]

I'm home sick today so I haven't had time to do so very much yet (it's 10 am here) :)

[KinaBolina]

Yes.
I had a Bible study this morning. Shared a bit about Jesus with my boyfriend who is not Christian. I prayed to Jesus about many things. I kept a positive attitude and happy demeanor and have acted out of love in everyway I could so far.
THANK YOU GOD!

[Moluku]

I spent time in prayer for my brothers and sisters in the Lord.

[Templedweller]

Yes.....prayed......lived moved and had my being concious that God IS and that I am Everseen by Him and that He is never too far away:)

[Kolya]

Ye, I did my morning prayers.

[cygnusx1]

had a sleep in :)

[handmaiden97]

Well, for me I am a christian and therfore everything I do is as a christian. However to answer your question directly I repented.

I woke up late, took a shower grabbed my breakfast on the go and drove to the ministry I work with, we have been gathinering for prayer before work......I got here and noboy else was there... prayer had been cancelled! ...so I sat down a bit annoyed at not being told and the rush I had gone through to get here on time.....
So I walked into the office and repented to God for my bad attitude and for not getting up early enough too spend time alone with Him before the day started. Then I found a quiet nook to hang in and started my day all over again, this time with God.

[cygnusx1]

i drank tea .......... all day :)

[ArmouredSaint]

as a Christian no.
as praying to God-yes.

[Bunko]

I haven't done anything.

[plum]

well i supose so. i didn't do anything that i can think of that was unChristian

[dinkime]

studied some in my Bible, attended church, played here :)

[Ruth~]

Yes, I tried to help other Christians.

[smiledaily]

yes

[lyonguard]

Not yet. It's too early.

[BrileyAnne]

I put no because I haven't witnessed to anyone and I haven't pray either, which is sad. I'm pregnant and morning sickness is pretty much all I'm thinking about these days but to think about it yes I have. I told my kids how much I love them this morning. I also told my husband. And I ran into someone this morning that has been, in the past, extremely mean to me, and I bit my tongue, pretty much in two. If I wasn't a christian, being the type of person I am, I probably would have lain into her. I guess I can't say I did't something as a christian but rather being a christian kept me from doing something bad.

[krys4ever]

yes

[AnimalMother]

i'm tempted to say no.
