Sharing Christ

Virginia Cobb says, "Our message is a person we've experienced, not a doctrine, system, religion, book, church, ethic. " First and foremost the Christian faith has nothing to do with knowing a creed, or living a set of moral laws, or believing certain doctrines, but rather everything to do with knowing a person. The problem is that many Christians try to present Christianity as a better religion. In my own experience I have discovered that people are interested in Christianity not because it is a religion but the experience that people have with the living Jesus. Yet is often to see Jesus for all the religious and cultural baggage surrounding him.
