unChristian

I know a lot people hate to read, but there is a lot of awesome things that you can learn about if you are willing to put some time aside to read. There are some really cool books, but there is one that I think all teens should at least look at. It is called unChristian. This book is written by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons, and they wanted to see how people that don't claim to have a personal relationship with Jesus viewed christians. What they found out was not very flattering.
They not only show the importance of knowing how people view the church, but also how we can change that perception. It's up to us. If people around us can't see Jesus passed all of the nonsense that we are doing, then that is on us!
I think that the name is so fitting because that is exactly the image that so many people have, unchristian. They view christians as being totally UNLIKE Christ. We need to be loving as Christ loves. We need to start putting away our own pride and selfish ambitions and start going after what God wants for our lives.
Last, if you don't have a relationship with Jesus and maybe you feel as though christians are judgemental, hyprocritical, or even hateful, I challenge you to come out to UNITE at Victory Church sometime. I'd love to meet you and answer ANY questions that you might have.
