A Christian lifestyle
'The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips then walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.' - Tobymac
I nicked this quote off someone else's webpage. I thought it summed up a lot really. The other day I was sat in my living room while two of my housemates who aren't Christians proceeded to say they were. Their understanding of being a Christian is that you believe in God. Even satan believes in God! My understanding is that not only does a Christian believe in God and that His Son Jesus died for them but that they are a disciple of Christ. This is much more radical than simply saying "I believe in God", though this is a good place to start. It involves surrendering your life to Him; saying Lord, your will not mine. It involves commitment, hard choices, self-sacrifice... One of my housemates said but you don't have to go to church to be a Christian... well no, it is more than just attending church services, but Jesus says we should be in fellowship with one another. My question would be if you're a Christian, why NOT go to church?
