What is Christianity?

How would you answer that question today if someone asked you?  Would you say that it is a religion?  Would you define it as having a relationship with Christ? I would say that it is both of those things, but also so much more!  I love how Chuck Colson defines Christianity.  He describes Christianity as “a way of seeing all of life, every aspect of reality; it is a worldview.” (Bolding is mine)  Wow!!  When we see our faith through this definition, everything is inbounds–there is nothing outside of our faith.  Everything we do, think, and create is part of our Christian worldview.  It is the lens through which we see the world.  I believe this makes our lives both more complicated and more simple.  More complicated because no longer can we say to ourselves, “Well, I can do this or think that because this area is really outside of where my faith meets the rest of who I am.”  Now, we have to think of a way to redeem all areas of our life and make sure that what we are doing and thinking fits with what we believe and what Jesus wants us to be.

It is this topic of Christian worldview–and everything that goes with it–that Awaken Ministries will be discussing.  I look forward to sharing the journey with you!

More to come…
