If that is what Christians are like then… I am a Christian. I really love God. And I try to be as much like Christ as I can. But I fail miserably. There have been times when I have seen the way certain Christians act and have said "If that is the way Christians act, If that is what Christians are, then I don't want to be one." What I and others fail to realize when they look at Christians is that… "People are terrible imitators of Christ." I know I am. People may represent Christ in a bad way. But that doesn't change who Christ is. Don't let people turn you away from Christ. Get to know and Love Jesus for who He really is. Go to the Gospels. Prayer: "Lord I am so sorry for my mistakes and failures. Please forgive me for being a bad representation of you. And Lord please help me to do better. Amen." Quotes: The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. - Brennan Manning Verses: Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2
