Are you ashamed to be a Christian?


Are you ashamed to let others know that you are a Christian? Are you a under cover believer one that attends church on Sunday, and prays secretly? Are you one of those Christians who behave differently when you run into those who believe differently than you? Are you afraid to mention the ” c” word? Oh you know what word I am talking about “Christians”. Or when you go out to a nice restaurant with your friends and when its time to pray over your food, your pretending like something flew into your eyes as you eagerly rub your eyes and mumble under your breath? It seems like so many Christians are either ashamed or scared to say that they are a Christian. Afraid that no one would want to associate with those who choose to believe in a God that created the Universe, Earth and his greatest creation us. There are some many Christians who are afraid to defend their faith! But I don`t find that same embarrassment when I meet those who are Muslim, Hindu, atheist etc… As a Christian maybe we can learn a thing or two from those of other religions, they are NOT ashamed of their belief. Wrong or right they are declaring it for all to hear. Being a Christian is not a religion, but it is a belief, a belief in which all the world should see! The word of God tells us to let our light so shine that men shall see our good works and glorify the Father. The bible goes on and tell us to not hide our light under a basket, but to let it shine! Note this verse Luke 11:33 [ The Lamp of the Body ] “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.” Being a Christan also means to share the good news that Christ has came to save the world so if we hide, who will hear this message? Its time for Christians to come out of the closet , embrace their lifestyle and declare the good works of Jesus Christ. If not ,God himself tells us plainly, if you deny him he will also deny you! Christianity is not just our Belief but it is our Lifestyle
