Or said another way, to those who are in Christ, everything is spiritual unless you are simply succumbing to the "old man."

And everything is "in Christ" except to the extent that you choose to act against what you know to be of Christ.

Everything about us reflects Christ to others. Even the mundane. It is unfortunate that when we do poorly, that is what others view as the representation of Christ. When we become raving lunatics screaming against the immorality of the unsaved, we are seen as representing Christ. (I hope that is not any of us.)

Very unlike our example that ate with sinners.

And when we declare that it is not our place to do good deeds for the unsaved, or only for the unsaved that might be able to become saved directly from our efforts, we show a limited understanding of "love your neighbor as yourself."

For many of us (me included) it is fortunate that most of us don't have those cutesy fish symbols on our cars because we should be ashamed of our behavior behind the wheel if the world thought that was what Christians behaved like. Fortunately (and unfortunately) for me, they are uninformed that the extent that my driving remains unreformed is hidden from discovery . . . but I should still do better.
