This illustration is so powerful that one wouldn't even need any Bible verses to support it! The following was found in the December 2004 issue of Reader's Digest in the All in a Day's Work section:
"Taking advantage of a balmy day in New York, my brother and three other priests swapped their clerical garb for polos and khakis and time on the golf course. After several horrible shots, their caddy asked, 'Are you guys Priests?'
'Actually, yes,' on cleric replied. 'Why?'
'Because,' said the Caddy, 'I've never seen such bad golf and such clean language.'"
Character! I've often heard the following phrase: Character is who you are when no one is looking. Well, in this example character is determined by what language you use when golfing. The caddy could discern that these men were Priests. Not necessarily because they were bad golfers, but because of the language they used while golfing badly. What kind of language do YOU use while golfing?
If you use this, insert JC Penny suits with KJV lapel pins for the "clerical garb." DO NOT replace khakis with denim! And, please, don't forget to use Pastors instead of Priests!
I told you it would preach...
