Do we hold so tightly to the ‘cultural trappings’ of Christianity that it turns into ‘Churchianity‘ (just a set of rules and simply a preferred lifestyle) and as a result we create a hindrance for people engaging the gospel… the offer of grace, of forgiveness and of pardon as God sent His Son to be a ransom for our broken lives?

Does our faith look more like a defense of ‘traditional Republican political dogma’ rather than a proclamation of the life, death and resurrection of Christ as payment for the sin of the world and each person on planet earth?

Are we willing to forfeit our freedom in Christ and give up some legitimate rights for the cause of never losing a platform to share the good news of life in Christ that can begin right here and right now and makes life profoundly different now and for eternity?

Are there people in our lives who we could engage… those who are different, those who are indifferent, those who are antagonistic, those who are skeptical, those who are unsure, those who are wounded, those who are lonely, those who are like sheep without a shepherd…introduce them to the one who created them and loves them?
