One thing that frustrates me is how we tag things as Christian. Like if your not a Christian you are not allowed to enjoy or like this. But the same can be said for the other side, if your a Christian you can't enjoy a none Christian entities.
I have never seen in a phone book a listing for secular plumber's or electricians and a listing for Christian ones. That fact is they are plumbers and the like who happen to be Christian.
Why do we classify music this way. I find that there many talented bands not getting the exposure that others get, simply because they are labors Christian. If would could get over lableing things we may just be able to create more brings for Jesus to cross.
I find people are more will to explore Christian culture if they are allowed to view and listen with out the lable. Instead of saying hey come check out this Christian Rock band, just tell them to check out a great rock band, that happen to be Christians.
Being a Christian I know the reputation we sometimes are perceived to have, so I try to approach things as a person who happens to be a Christian. I think it helps to break down defences and open up the lines of communication. Just don't lose yourself to the world, for we are to be in the world, but not of the world.
Step out today and try to communicate in a slightly different way, leading more to Christ through better views. Remember we are all people, but not all Christians. This can be changed by opening the communication lines and not applying unneeded lables.
