unChristian

2.17.13

After finishing Gospel, which was truly amazing and you all should take some time to read it, I’ve started another book. This is unChristian by David Kinnaman. David is a researcher who has conducted a study on the people who consider themselves to be outside the Christian faith. (Not being a follower of Christ, so not necessarily non-religious, which he refers to as “outsider”).

I started last night and what to keep up with how I interpret the information displayed and hopefully keep up with posting. I have been away recently but I’m excited to transfer my notes as I read onto my blog and hope you feel comfortable agreeing, or disagreeing!
Here’s a sentence from the first chapter that is a great reminder for believers in Christ.  “Jesus is so much more than a logical proof. His life is the starting point where our lives can really begin.”
This is extremely significant to remember to progress in anyone’s walk as a Christian.  You cannot reduce the infinite God to something finite. His beauty is outstanding, and His glory and power is blinding. No human equation, theory, or analysis can comprehend Him. If you think you have, you’ve simply created a god to fit into a mold for your pleasures.
I made a post about a year ago in April quoting “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.” – Ghandi

Which helps set the tone of the book for everyone I hope.
