In Fashion

Last week I attended a fashion show for the very first time.

Why was I invited to a fashion show? Because one of our attendees at FRC in Lima was graduating from a local fashion and design institute, and some of her clothing designs were going to be modeled at the fashion show, and another one of our FRC attendees was going to be doing the modeling.

Before the show started, I was chatting with our design student. She mentioned how the show would feature both profesional models and amateurs.

"How do you know the difference?" I asked the design student.

"By the way they walk," she replied.

By the way they walk.

This quickly became obvious to me once the fashion show started. The professional models knew how to walk down a runway, twirl, and walk back. They knew how to walk the walk. The amateurs did not.

You, your church, your ministry - do people know that you are a Christ follower by the way you walk?

Can they tell?

Are you walking the walk?

Or just talking the talk?

The world is watching to see how you walk.
