Real fun...

People who don’t see the “real fun” of Christianity are sometimes the victims of mixed signals from Church-goers. The doing of “churchy things” on the one hand and the seeking of ungodly thrills on the other can inadvertently send the message that Jesus isn’t all He’s cracked up to be and that a greater level of excitement can be found outside of His word and will.

Until people can see that what motivates a Christian isn’t merely a ritual or tradition, they will not see the real value – the “real fun” – of a Christian lifestyle. The “real fun” of Christianity is found in the joy of personally experiencing a loving God Who delights in His child and the adventure we undertake in growing in our relationship with Him.
