We have signs posted around the business area near the office directing people to where our store is – at the intersections, at stop signs, etc.  Last week I drove by one of the signs and someone had put a piece of paper over our sign and it said written in black marker, “God wants His people to read God’s word too.”

My thoughts were…really?  I know, I know, let him who is without sin cast the first stone.  But I couldn’t help but think what a horrible act of witnessing that is.  I’m assuming that the person who put that there is somehow a follower of Jesus especially because of the content of the note but maybe not.  If it is, I feel slightly embarrassed, not to say I’m a great witness or even a good witness but really….to basically “vandalize” someone’s sign to put up that note?  What does that make people think of Christians?

I had told myself I wasn’t even going to tell anyone that the sign was covered because I was embarrassed by it.  But I accidentally forgot and mentioned it.  What do people then think of me if they know I’m a Christian?

Just don’t cover up people’s signs like that!  There are other ways of witnessing….and that is not a good way in my opinion.
