Not Very Christian...
Our friends at Community Christian Church in Naperville have done it again. Dave Ferguson and his team have creatively put the cheesy Christian subculture in it's place. Check out this parody of the Mac vs PC commercials...
Here's the real issue. One popular surveyor noted that 84% of Americans claim to be Christian. Yet for all our Christian t-shirts, Christian book stores, Christian radio and Christian bumperstickers ~ the lifesyles of "Christians" and non-Christians are virtually identical.
So here's what I'm advocating > let's abandon the "Christian subculture's" reliance on "Christianese" stuff as a way to express our faith!
The best expression for your Christian faith is a Christ honoring lifestyle. Remember, it wasn't Christ followers who came up with the name "Christian" anyway. It was the non-Christians who referred to Christ's followers as "Christians" as a derogatory name > read for yourself.
Sincerely In Christ ~
A "non-Christian" Christ Follower
right on!

What an incredible post! It's all about a "real" relationship with Christ and following his leads. How has it gotten so out of control?

That was great! I would love to perform that at church!

It's a funny clip but sad at the same time. Just today I was sharing with a brother in Christ who feels people in his personal journey at Church are no different. Telling him what to say and how to act... when are we as Christians going to get it?

Jim,
Love this post.Very creative and ohhhh so true! We are so proud of you! God is using you in a mighty way. It was great having you all stay with us last week. We got to see for ourselves that you are really living what you are preaching! Just love that Rose and those awesome sons of yours. Just remember the greatest mission field you will ever be given is the one on Rosebud Ave.
