Christianese

So, I met this pastor who literarily, turns off his 'Christian Mode' in some situations. I remember challenging him once time when he said he was pissed off, and I said he should have prayed - his reply was, "that wasn't no time for prayers baby".

Hmm? So Christianity should only be practiced in some places and in some particular situations? As this society moves more and more into immorality we begin to accept somethings that were once atrocious. Even in the church, we find ourselves saying stuff like, "It's alright; It's because of who he is". I think if Christ put His personality into consideration, He would not have died on the cross.

Christianity is not a religion, it's a lifestyle; a relationship with God. It should be a habit - attitudes of the Holy Spirit that we cannot get rid off, we cannot turn off what becomes a part of us.

Also, think about the other people who look at our lives as christians, looking for lifestyles to emulate, or attributes that make us stand out. If they see us always taking off our "Christianity Cloak", what explanation can we give to God for leading these people astray?
