The only instance of the word (as far as I know) was for a church that was being made fun of because they were "little Christs", almost like they were saying, "Oh look at the little Christ's over there!" It meant that they were doing the things that Jesus did. I read a quote not too long ago that I agree with and pray that God makes true in my own life: "There's no point in trumpteting the Lordship of Christ if his attitudes, values, and behaviors are not reflected in our own."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35771136.post-1031417603731381832008-09-10T22:11:00.000-05:002008-09-10T22:11:00.000-05:00I usually ignore anonymous comments.

By the way, if you don't have a blogger account, just put your name like my brother does on his comments. Just thought maybe the anonymous was on accident ;)<BR/><BR/>Here are some ?s for you, Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous:<BR/><BR/>1. Are you saying that as long as people are doing something in the name of "glorifying God" then their talent, ability, and giftedness should have nothing to do with it? If so, I think some big chunks of Paul's writings in Romans and The letters to Corinth would get left out. He says let a man do what his GIFTING is. Not just anything.<BR/><BR/>2. If Rob Bell's comments are off the mark, then what should be the standard for things marked Christian? If it's not true, good, and beautiful, then what is it? I personally think that if it is not excellent, then it's not worthy of Christ, but that's just my personal opinion.<BR/><BR/>3. What do you think about the author's comments of "Christian" being a noun and not a adjective?<BR/><BR/>Let me know your thoughts, Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous.

There are movies labled "Christian" movies that by most people's opinions are down right bad (quality, cheesy, etc . . .) but there are also people who will think that movie is the best thing they've seen and others who are lead to Christ because of it. One Christian may be uplifted by Rob Bell's preaching while another Christian may think he stinks. This also applies to music. The old hymn vs. praise and now Christian rock.<BR/><BR/>My take is quit criticising and start celebrating all who seek to glorify God even if they can't sing, act, write, etc . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
