Real Christianity

Okay so this blog is sparked my a comment I heard a girl in one of my classes made. We were discussing our weekends and I said something about church and she goes "Me and my aunt don't do church. You go out and do your *crap* and then you go to church one day a week and that makes you a good a person? No thats just *screwed* up and I don't go for that." Unfortunatly her statement is partially true because we have to many fakers and hypocrites in the church....but this isn't about that. It got me thinking...how do I represent my faith? I mean I see this girl everyday. Sure I don't drink, I don't party, I don't have sex, I don't do drugs, I don't cuss, I don't do all of that stuff so I mean that puts me ahead in the game right? Right. But other than what Im not doing what am I doing? Because yeah she's right to many people live sinful lives and misrepresent Jesus Christ and that is NOT what real Christianity is about! Real Christianity is about surrendering yourself to Christ and giving up sin and living for him everyday not just on Sunday! However those of us who are sold out have become defined by what we don't do instead of what we do do for Christ and we aren't reaching as many people as we should be and we're not standing up and saying hey those people are wrong! Don't base how you feel about Christ and church on them because they are just as lost as you. We probably just come across as good people that don't do anything at all. So I wanted this to be longer but it's short and sweet. For those of you who aren't Christians know that living life however you want and then going to church is not real Christianity and for those of you who are how about we quit being defined by what we don't do and start being defined by what we do do for Christ!
