I have always identified myself as a child of God because I know God will always love me even if the rest of the world rejects me.

No matter who you talk to you can always find at least one thing you disagree about. However you normally can find at least one thing you agree upon as well.

Someone told me once, that before you speak, you should learn to listen.
More people should learn to listen before they speak. I learned that the hard way.

If we say "Christian" then that turns many people off
I respect what you and Eph610 are saying and I applaud it. Me personally, I will always use the term Christian and I couldn't care less who gets turned off by it. Heck, if people really want to get turned off by me all they need to do is see me not wearing a shirt. :p

Wise words. They make a lot of sense. Unfortunately, because they make sense, most people in the world will never heed them.
The Bible says that common sense is a gift given to the honest.

Proverbs 2:7 ►
New Living Translation
He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.


When I read the verse, I finally realized why it wasn't so common.

I hope this thread has affected others the way it has me when i studied and wrote it. It made me start to think if I am truly showing "Christ in me" by the way i talk, act and hold myself not only in public but also in private.

God's standard is holiness. God loves sinners, but hates sin.If we claim to be children of God we must act like Jesus did. Nobody likes persecution, but going through hard times is good for you. God wants us to trust him and have faith that he will work things out for our good. If you're willing to suffer and be persecuted someday you'll rule and reign with Christ. 2Timothy3:12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. James1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. All these scriptures are from the New King James Version. To God be the glory. Preacha24-7
