UNChristian

Mark Batterson has a good post on a book coming out called UNChristian.? unchristian.jpgLooks like an interesting book on a subject that I am really interested in lately.? I like what Batterson says about this concept:

All I know is this: I’m not called to be a Christian. I’m called to be Christlike. And those are very different things. And the more Christian and less Christlike we are the bigger turnoff it is.?

What would it be like if we all were more Christlike and less Christian?? Because of our “Christian” culture and subculture that we have in the Church these days, I don’t know if Jesus would be even noticed because he probably would be at the Church of What’s Happnin” Now, but out in the community doing ministry.? It is really hard to de-program yourself from the Christianeese that we all have.? I have been really trying hard lately in my preaching to not assume people know too much about the Bible.? I have tried to stop and show where the books are in the Bible, for example.? People who are new to this whole thing wouldn’t even know where to start to find a book.? Plus, we put the verses on the screen, but we don’t want it to stop there.? We want them to find it in their “own” Bible–even provide one if they don’t have one.

Where in your life are there “turnoffs” to Christ because of your Christianity getting in the way of people finding Christ?
