What is a Christian?



We kick off a new conversation this week at Living To Go. Our goal is to try to peel back some of the layers of "tradition" and get to the real issue of basic Christianity and real church. Sometimes I think that we get so caught up in "doing church" that we lose sight of our main purpose as follower's of Christ. Most of us will never sit down and have a real conversation with someone about why we believe what we believe. My goal is that over the next 3 weeks is that people start talking about their faith. That we stop being afraid of asking questions and realize that it's OK to not have all the answers. Last time I checked I wasn't omnipotent and you probably aren't either so let's leave the Omnipotent God thing to... well..... God! :)

This week we open the discussion about what a real Christian is.... over 75% of Americans consider themselves "Christians". Obviously, by looking around our nation, something isn't playing out right if we are that predominantly "Christian". So what's the problem? Where is the miscommunication between God and us? My guess is it's on our end :)
