Well I'm starting fresh with a new blog. When I decided to start blogging again I realized that my other blog "Hugh's Views" was registered under my old e-mail address and I became so frustrated trying to change it that I decided to start entirely new blog. Now have my new Dragon speak software I hope to start blogging on a regular basis. I chose the title Stealth Christianity because I feel far too many Christians are stealth Christian.I believe very strongly in the great commission and feel that we each have our own part to play in carrying out God's desire for us to spread the gospel.
St. Francis D'Assisi once said wherever you go preach the gospel when necessary use words. One of my favorite Bible verses is Colossians 3:17 "whatever you do in word or deed do it all the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the father through him". How many of our actions would be different if we tried to live by these standards? When a nonbeliever looks at our life today does they see someone share the love of Jesus or do they not see any difference? Are our lives glorifying God or ourselves? Sitting in church on Sunday doesn't make someone a Christian anymore than sitting in your garage makes you a car. God wants full custody of our lives not just weekend visits.
It's my opinion that the biggest problem facing Christianity today is Christians. The Bible calls us to love our neighbor as ourselves but too often we have trouble even showing love to each other. Too often it seems that Christians would rather fight about doctrine than bring the gospel to unbelievers. When Jesus gave his life for us He brought out from under the yoke of the law but just as it was hard for the Jews to understand this 2000 years ago we still battle with it today.
I hope to use this forum to start a discussion on the topics and the problems we face in living a Christian life in the 21st century. Quite often I will be writing to myself as I search for answers myself. I believe that the Lord has called me into a life of ministry and I hope that this blog might be a part of that.
Be Blessed
Hugh
