A view from outside

Have you ever felt a little embarrassed to be called a “Christian”?

Well let me admit it right here…..I have!

The truth is that over the years Christians have developed a pretty bad reputation.  The view from outside of Christianity is pretty grim.  We’re known as judgemental, narrow minded, bigots, right-wing and a whole host of other things.  Some I can’t really even mention here.

I think it’s real unfortunate that many times we are known more for the things we’re against than for the things we’re for.

This was the very backbone behind our “Split Screen” series and if you didn’t take the time to listen to those messages then I would strongly urge you to set aside some time and to do just that.  There’s just something special that happens when Christians take the time and address the things in our own lives that we are so quick to point out as wrong in the lives of others.

What steps are you taking in your life to make the view from outside a little better?
