Should Christians Be Boring?
I've heard some people say that Christians are boring because we avoid wild, crazy behaviors. But is that really what the Bible tells us? Here are a few thoughts:
- Yes, the Bible tells us to pursue holy lives and avoid sinful indulgences that the world glorifies (Romans 12:2). But it doesn't mean we can't have fun!
- Jesus himself lived a vibrant, exciting life - anything but boring! As Christians, we're called to embrace wonder, curiosity, and childlike faith.
- The Bible warns against extremes like wild indulgence but also dreary legalism. The key is living balanced, moderate lives (Philippians 4:5).
- We're called to bring hope, joy and excitement to the world by sharing God's love. Our faith should attract others to Jesus, not bore them away.
- It's all about living out our relationship with Christ in a way that points people to him. That's the opposite of boring!
So in summary, Christians shouldn't be boring - we have the most exciting, meaningful mission and message in the world. Our lives should radiate God's light! What do you all think? Let me know in the comments!
