Class

So there was this guy in my class today who was being a complete butt wipe. (I would call him other things but I wont) We were discussing Christianity in China and how there were many underground churches and that you had to register to openly profess Christ. While I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion this guy really angered me.

One thing that he said was that Christians could secretly live their faith. Oh of course I could not keep my mouth shut, of course I had to blurt out "But faith without works is dead!" I thought about what he had said. The fact that a common thought is that Christians hide their religion as a correct answer stunned me. I guess though that is what we tend to do in society today. Most Christians go to church on Sundays then live in a secular society. We go to secular schools, jobs, have a secular government, we even enjoy secular entertainment. It is no wonder that this individual made the correlation. What so many people explain as the Christian faith really is dead. They don't understand that Christianity is not one of those sit back and meditate type things. Its messy. Its always growing, changing. The story is always the same but the people telling it are not. Hopefully one day the guy that had such an issue will understand faith in Christ. I can only hope that is the case!
