To add on to the last blog. We have no intentions of offending anyone, but i feel that a lot of people need to hear this..

We arent saying that church is a bad place and you shouldnt be going, because there are some really great churches out there with people that have hearts for God.

What we are saying is that there are also some churches out there that are very judgmental and wont accept people for who they are. Whether it be if you have tattoos, piercings, dress funny, have different colored hair or any of that stuff.

But that shouldnt be the final decision of whether you follow Jesus or not. Dont let other christian's actions decide what you believe.

So many people meet hypocrite christians and it ruins the whole "christian" name. What makes christians any different than non-christians if we make the same choices as them?

People see christians that smoke, drink, cuss and do all that stuff and they ask themself "what makes them any different then me?" "they go to church on sundays?"

Is that it?! Is that the only difference between us? Being a christian is not the image but its your relationship you have with God.
and if you follow God you must read the bible right?
Smoking, drinking, or cussing does not make you a bad person at all.
But ask yourself how are you different than them if you arent acting any different then them?

If your only answer is that you read the bible and you go to church then you have another thing coming.

I know athiests that read the bible. I know non-christians that go to church to see what were about. So that is not a good enough reason


We are called to reach this world. We need to step out. We need to be different. We need to be christ-like. We need to seek God.


If we dont, then we will never see him move in our cities

True dudes, it's time we stop playing church and start showing the world that our Jesus means more to us than the worldly things and start showing them why we believe that. The only way to make a difference is to be different from everyone else.

Amen!  This is a message that more believers need to start taking seriously.  I know way to many Christians that indulge so much in the ways of the world that i find myself forgetting that they are fellow believers, we as believers need to take a stand and be Christ like, not world like.   People focus way to much on Church itself then what the actual message that Christ wants us to follow means.  I pray for a spiritual awakening among believers and none believers a like, so that they may follow Christ, not religious messages

Good topic, but I don't mean to offend anyone when I say that this topic is over-rated. Yes, we all know we need to be better christians. Or should I say we need to start acting like christians? You're either one or you're not. But ANYWAYS, I think we should focus more on the HOW. HOW to be more christ-like. HOW to seek God. And maybe even a little WHY. Because when people come to ask us WHY we follow God, we should also know HOW to teach them.
