A Shift_ has been made!

In their song "What if I stumble", DC Talk starts with these lines:

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today
Is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips
Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Profound yet simple! I am not sure if you are an Atheist or a Christian, but either way, I am sure you agree with this to a certain degree. Christian folks do get into this inescapable web of legalism, where adhering to the very acts of Christian living becomes the criteria for being a Christ follower! Thats when a SHIFT_ has been made when following Christ has become a Religion rather than a Relationship! Now the result of this is a blind, irrational ego. And the consequence of this ego is pride. And that is what the world sees! A Christian as a proud, egoistic individual. A SHIFT_ has been made!! How contradictory to what Christ proclaimed!

So all you Christians out there, wake up! When you use the last name of our Saviour and call yourselves Christians, make sure you really are one, in every aspect of trying to be a Christ-Follower and not just your pastor or leader! So be proud that you are a Christian and not because you are a better human being!

A SHIFT_ has been made! Whats yours gonna to be?

Peace!
