Danny and I have been seriously looking at what it means to be a Christian. When you have been raised in the church, most of your friends are Christians, you have Christian radio, bookstores, TV shows, clothing, breakfast bars and "testamints"...you can literally wrap yourself in a bubble of religiosity and render yourself irrelevant to those around you. As we leave for a country where 90% of the population would think we are lunatics for believing in our "invisible friend, Jesus"..it has made us take a look at how relevant we are when our vocabulary is peppered with words like sanctified, fellowship and "the Holy Spirit shared a verse with me"...
Check out these books we have been reading...it is really interesting...
