3 Ways That Prove You Are *NOT* A Christian

Like most Christians, I have decided to start boycotting.  No surprise, since Christians are known more for what they stand against, than what they stand for.  This includes "Gays" or the LBGTQ community, premarital sex, video game violence, divorce, alcohol, and around a billion other things.  So the answer to the problem is to boycott anything that would even give the appearance of condoning such behavior or beliefs. So that is what I am doing.  I am boycotting the idea that those things are the most important to God.

Before you slam me or plead your case in the comment section, read on.

I am a Christian and I have no problem about sharing, what I believe is, the most important decision I have ever made in my life.  Here is a huge shocker.  I sin.  Sin just means that I choose not to uphold the standard of living that Jesus has asked of me.  The fact is, you do it too.

Let's define something first.  Christian means a person who follows the life of Jesus Christ and devotes them self to living a life modeled by Jesus.  Christian does not mean: a person who goes to church, or a member of a church, or a tither, or a preacher.  Though a Christian can be all of those things, they don't make a person a Christian.

Here are 3 ways to prove you might not be a Christian:

1. You hate sinners.
2. You tell people when they are doing something God disapproves of....daily.
3. You spend more time boycotting events (and telling everyone why) than serving people in your community.

Wait....just, wait a second.  I know, I know.  God hates sin, people need to know what God doesn't like, and you boycott and tell people about it to "raise awareness".  But did you know:

1. God loves sinners so much, He sent Jesus to die for each one of those sinners (which includes you and me).
2. Jesus consistently told people how much God loves us and wants us to know Him and how we can get to know God, personally.  Yes that includes walking away from sin, but it was Jesus' goodness that leads us to want to change our ways.  Not what He disapproved of.
3. Jesus served all people, sat at bars with people, fed people, healed people.  He served the community, but defied man made traditions from the religious leaders of that day.

I am not saying that if you do the first three things that you are not going to Heaven, but most likely, you won't be bringing anyone with you.

You can do one of two things:

Make a point - which people will know where you stand on a subject

Or

Make a difference - which people will want to know why your life is different

Both can point to Jesus, but only one shows people that Jesus is real, relevant, and ready to change us all from sinner to saint and from outcast to son/daughter. 

Boycott the idea that making a point is the same as making a difference.  Who is with me?
