Calling yourself a Christian is a huge thing. \u00a0That in itself is a huge thing, don’t you think?You are a walking, talking witness of Christ, when you call yourself a Christian. \u00a0Here’s the thing about Christianity… it should be really about the relationship… it should be about Jesus and YOU!<\/p>\n
This week I had \u00a0experiences that made me cringe. \u00a0I was driving to various cities, stopping at the local Christian book store to invite them to put my brother’s book<\/a> in their store. \u00a0 This engaged chatter… about various authors and speakers etc.<\/p>\n The person I was talking to said something along the lines of this pastor would be great if he was a Christian. \u00a0Ouch. \u00a0There was the explaination that this person believed in Universalism <\/a>. \u00a0Obviously, this belief was not acceptable in the eyes of this person. Wow.<\/p>\n Sanj had a patient in this week. \u00a0A little 85 year old man that drove all the way from Toronto, himself, with no appointment. \u00a0This man was a friend of a friend from the church that Sanj grew up in.<\/p>\n This man was complaining about how back in the day, they worshipped a certain way. \u00a0Now days, many different ethnicity had come into the church and they way they worshipped was almost a mockery! \u00a0Oh Dear!<\/p>\n Here’s the thing, I have a huge issue with church when we got so focused on doctrines and beliefs that we forget the part of being Christ-like. \u00a0Really, does it not make you nervous to judge someone else’s walk? \u00a0Does it not make you nervous to question the realness of another person’s beliefs?<\/p>\n In my brother’s video <\/a>on his book he said:<\/p>\n “People are still seeking spirituality… what they are not seeking is <\/em><\/strong>religion.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I love that. \u00a0I have seen religion over the last 40 years of my life. \u00a0Often it gets you no where. \u00a0If you are not seeking spirituality in you religion, what do you really have?<\/p>\n This is not to discount church. \u00a0Of course not… especially to each his own… but there are so many things that seem to be able to cloud up the walk… you know, that walking hand in hand with Jesus?<\/p>\n Being Christlike is a huge thing. \u00a0It is what I continually seek to be… because ultimately, if it isn’t about my God and me then what is the point?<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Calling yourself a Christian is a huge thing. \u00a0That in itself is a huge thing, don’t you think?You are a walking, talking witness of Christ, when you call yourself a Christian. \u00a0Here’s the thing about Christianity… it should be really … Continue reading
