The life and trials of a growing Christian - Day One Hundred Thirty Two
A couple years ago one of my friends told me not to get "too Christian." I'm still trying to figure out what that actually means. I also hear people being described as "radical Christians" and again, I can't seem to understand what it means. Does the mainstream dictate how Christian a person should be? Is a person who goes to church more than once a week "too Christian"? Is someone who prays whenever the urge strikes "radical"? I don't think so. Jesus doesn't want part of us, He wants all of us. If the goal of a Christian is to be more Christ like with each passing day, I don't understand how someone could possibly be "too Christian". A tree grows and grows for years but the moment it stops growing it starts dieing. The same can be said for a Christian who isn't "radical". The moment they stop studying and learning and trying to be Christ like, they start dieing. If someone wants to call me "too Christian" I welcome it and respond by saying I'm not Christian enough.
