Comments on: Would your life be different? https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2009/12/would-your-life-be-different/ Sat, 26 Dec 2009 05:45:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.8 By: pcorkum https://www.thecorkboardonline.com/2009/12/would-your-life-be-different/#comment-326 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 05:45:28 +0000 http://www.thecorkums.com/?p=1095#comment-326 Good works by no means define Christianity. Anyone can do “good works”, Christian or not. However, someone who claims that they have faith, but does not do “good works”, does not have faith (James 2:14-17). It is not about the good deeds, but the faith. Our faith should then drive us to the actions. And not just “good works”, but a life that is defined by serving, sacrificing self and not pursuing the things that the culture pursues.

Calling yourself a Christian and being a Christian are two different things. And as a note, it is pretty much generally the rule that those who claim that “being a Christian doesn't make a difference” are not themselves Christian. It is kind of like someone who is a really good programmer in college that thinks experience doesn't matter.

I am the least of things what you'd call a Christian by a purist definition. I imagine believing in God would be a consideration here. However, I do find that my life is beautiful. I believe that all life is sacred and precious. I would have to deduce that my feelings of good will and my drive towards being a kind “soul” and loving humanity would not be any different if I believed and if I called myself Christian. Perhaps, as Candice says, a life lived for Christ is more exciting. But I will have to settle with “a life lived for life, for humanity, for our world – our only home” is a life worth living, nevertheless.

Christianity or no, I think all lovers of good, all caretakers and saints will still perform their acts of kindness and love …

What is worth dying for if not something that feels righteous?

This is a topic that has been on my heart and mind for a few years now and I pray that my life does look different. I am not content to live like Jane Doe down the street… a life lived passionately for Christ is SO much more exciting!!!
Randy has read Crazy Love and given away several copies and I think it will be my next read! I have read several books like that where you can't NOT do something after you have finished reading. Thanks for this post!
