omething to think about:
“All Americans are Christians.”
“All Americans are rich.”
“All Americans are immoral.”
We had a missionary couple from an Islamic country preach in our service a while back, and during a Q & A the above is what all the locals believe. We were told this perception is based mainly on two things: the fact that famous figures such as Madonna prominently wear a cross around their neck, and most of the American tourists throw a lot of money around and dress and act immorally.
Because of this they introduce themselves as “followers of Jesus Christ, the Messiah,” and they try to dress as modestly as possibly, among other things, to differentiate themselves from “Christians.”
What a novel idea. Maybe we here in the U.S. should adopt similar measures. Ya Think? Well, maybe we would first have to adopt different views of our faith.
