Christianity is a lifestyle, NOT a religion. Our (Christians) priority should be to share Jesus with as many people as possible. Rarely, this will take the form of bringing someone to a church service. Overwhelmingly, this will look more like having someone in your home, speaking to a waitress, paying someone's electric bill, truly listening, or even a gentle smile. I don't believe that Jesus came to establish the present, instutionalized church as we see it on Sundays, and even Wednesday evenings. That type of church is great to help us as Christains make it through our lives, but it is secondary to how we live out our life as Jesus followers. <br /><br />Once we stop perseverating on weekend Christianity, and actually start focusing on how "Jesus would do it", we will be taking those necessary steps to truly being like Jesus.Judah and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934327592919071612noreply@blogger.com
