Christian.
Have you ever noticed how it seems as if our American culture has redefined the words original meaning of “followers of Christ” to something with negative connotations? Is it that we have somehow become followers of someone or something other than Christ? In our attempt to be Christian have we somehow traded being followers of Christ for being followers of a distinct denomination, a particular preacher or even a certain church? Have we become more concerned with what we believe instead of who we believe in? Have we become more concerned with arguing over our denominational differences than meeting the needs of the hurting, the hungry and the destitute in our communities? Is the word Christian looked down upon in our society because we have somehow forfeited following the ways of Christ and given into following our own “ways”?
Just asking.
i think it is a mixture of things. culture has become hostile toward christian morality while christians have become increasingly judgemental and infighting has fractured our unity. there is a need for a new reformation in the church and a return to the solas
