been told this or maybe told one of your kids this? The obvious

implication is that your behavior reflects on what kind of family you

come from. This is the same idea behind Paul calling Christians,

Ambassadors of Christ. As he says elsewhere, our citizenship is in

heaven. God is making his appeal to the world through us. Wherever we

go, we represent his family. The question for us is, how do we live as

ambassadors of God while living in this world? How do we represent the

Kingdom of God while living in the Kingdom of America?
