We Are Different From the Church For A Reason

When Jesus Christ commissioned the 12 Apostles to go out and preach the Gospel to all nations He sent out 12 very different human beings. They were the same in faith and in Christ but they behaved differently and they were different in character. We are exactly the same way. This is no accident, if God had wanted us all to be alike He would hav done so but He did not. A prominent reason I believe to be true is that not all people come to Christ through just one person. If everyone behaved as Catholics behave or everyone behaved as the Baptist there would be many unreached individuals. We need the Starbucks Christians, and the Baptists, Catholics, and Protestants. For all have different methods. We need the guy with the music blarring in the parking lot with Jesus loves you bumper stickers and a Bible, we need the quiet reserved and devout Christian sitting in the corner, we need the loud Christian on the street corner screeming "repent". We need the goths, the neerds, the saints, and the sinners. You see we need all of these because everyone needs someone to relate to. And this is why most of us go to Church, because we need to feel a sense of belonging. We need Christian outcasts for the non Christian ones. So I beg you do not become the Church you are attending. Stay true to yourself because you never really know how God could use that for his kingdom.
