Multiple Personalities Religion is where our Christianity is just tacked on as one in a long list of “personalities” that describe who we are. Sure we’re Christians but we are also a lot of other great things. What gets our primary attention is determined by what we see as most interesting or urgent at the moment.
“Who are you? Most people would answer by listing the many things that they do. I’m a rancher/business owner, family person, I play golf, I do artwork, I’m a Christian, I go to church, I go to work…
But if we are to have a Christian world view, then, when we describe ourselves, we would simply say, “I’m a Christian-A follower of Jesus Christ.” We are first and foremost a Christian and the other things that we do are under that main heading. “Because I’m a Christian I have a job that fits into my values as a Christian.” “Because I’m a Christian I spend time with my family to bring them to Jesus.”
