Relevance

Relevance is a very thin line that we walk. I mean, how do we as followers express our faith and not come off as cheesy and fake? Culture, by a basic definition, simply means "the way we do things around here." Sadly, our culture, based on bad personal experiences and media attention, seeing Christians, ALL Christians as snake oil salesmen and untalented magicians. So, we shun the name Christian and anything that looks like it belongs to the church, but sometimes in the process we end up denying Christ. Not by our lifestyles, but by our mouths. I mean, what is the purpose of doing good and walking steady if we take the credit. We are scared of saying, "It's not me, but Christ in me."
