WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN ARE YOU - PART 2
Since uni started, I've been waking up at 5:30 in the morning, just to get to peninsular campus for my first lecture. Normally i would catch up on sleep while on the road, 2hrs of traveling that's all you want to do....sleep! But just today, for some reason i couldn't sleep. Instead i was thinking about what i'm doing with my life at the moment, not in a long-term futuristic sence, but what am i really doing with my life right now!
I have to admit that because of the full-on uni timetable, filled with work placements and tutorial assignments, and the weekly tournaments that i have to finally say no too :( becoz of the amount of work frmo uni, I really haven't had the time to go to lifegroups on a regular basis.
I wrote a post entitled "What kind of christian are you". Since then i still ask myself that question. I thought: if i was a pastor, would that make me more of a christian than if i was a professional athlete who believes in God? Similarly, because i don't get involve in church life as much as i use to, does that make me less of a christian? Maybe, because most of us judge others by how commited they are with church life, we tend to conclude that if one is not involved in ministry this means that they are less of a christian and are more likely to backslide. This could be very well true. I dunno.

Cheryl, one does not find the definition of being a Christian in the ministry that they are involved in. While being in ministry encourages our Christian walk by no means does it make us any better Christians because we are seen in ministry.
Remember what it means to be a Christian, first and foremost, that you are in a relationship with Jesus Christ - the one who died for you. Develop your relationship and let the other things in life fall into place as you put that first.
Don't let other things become a measuring tape for where you are in your walk, they don't matter as much as your relationship does.
we miss you at LG cheryl...
mmm...maybe it's not so much what kind of christian u are. maybe its what kind of christian u wanna be? ...guess its the same with...everything else in live, love and sport?
we've all fallen short soo...i think its about striving.
