Alright, so today I noticed something really interesting.
Have you ever noticed that people who say they are Christians don't act like Christians, but people who aren't Christians do act like Christians?
One non-Christian I know always encourages me. Today she was telling me that I was so nice and such a great person and that I shouldn't ever let anyone tell me otherwise (I'm not bragging about myself, that's just what she said haha). So I was obviously so happy when she said that, especially since I've been trying to minister to her lately through my actions because she's an extreme atheist.
And another non-Christian I know calls me all the time to see how I'm doing...and she's always there for me no matter what, and she's sooo incredibly loving.
I'm definitely not saying that all non-Christians are like this, obviously, and I'm not saying us actual Christians are not like this. Of course, there's a little bit of everything on both sides. Does that make sense? haha
So...are YOU saying your a Christian and then living as a non-Christian? I bet if you look hard enough you'll find people in your life who say their non-Christians and yet they live like Christians (through their love, encouragement, empathy, service, etc.)
Just something to think about :)
Keep postinggg!

I've totally noticed the same thing! I think the difference between us (as Christians) and them (as non-Christians) is the consistency of our love. I mean, yeah, they're nice and caring, but they aren't as consistent with it. I don't really know, just a thought
ReplyDeleteI've noticed this, too, this year! Yeah, I think the difference is how we treat our enemies...just thinking, but that's how I view it.
ReplyDeleteOne time I was reading a fiction christian book, and it said something that really spoke to me...they were talking about how the one Christian girl had power over demons (it was a dramatic book), and one girl piped up, "Hey, I'm Christian. Like, I go to church on Easter, and stuff." The boy replied, "I think there's more to it than that."
Doesn't sound like much, but it worked in the story, so I hope that made sense.
Yea I totally agree with both of you! I love how fast y'all commented on my post haha :)
