It is funny how certain lines of thinking seem to pop up very closely together. The relationship between confessing Christianity and living out Christianity has been on the forefront lately. I have read about it in books, had conversations with friends, heard sermons, and read about it in scripture. It just seems to be everywhere the past few weeks. Perhaps God is speaking. I propose the question, “Is it possible to be a nonpracticing Christian?” The gospel presented to me was that God saved me and forgives me no matter what. I don’t deny this, but I just don’t see it ever presented in this way. Its always that God saves us to do something. Romans even describes us as slaves to God. If we viewed ourselves as slaves to God how would that change the way that we lived? If Christianity was a verb would you be guilty of doing it?
