Christianity.



Did you know that early in Mahatma Ghandi's life he considered converting to Christianity?  Yep, it's true.  Unfortunately, this is what he had to say about it, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."    
Christianity is defined as the state of being Christ like.  How sad that we as a whole have become so arrogant in our OWN doctrines that we have forgotten truly what was intended for the Christian.  So many people say that they are Christians, while their actions are merely to try to make Christianity as accommodating and simple for their life as possible.  Jesus never came to earth to show how easy it was and how he would glorify himself.  He came to show how rewarding it would be to glorify God.  
I think we all need to step it up a bit.  Being Christ-like, that is the task, not making Christ seem more like us, not making God work for our redemption, but rather accepting and living with  Christ's redemption.  
What are your thoughts on how we as a whole can change this worldly opinion of Christianity?
