If I turned from Christianity, the reason would be the Christians, not the Christ.
So there are two general ways to help others avoid doing that:
- Show why Christ matters, not Christians.
- Show that Christ matters to Christians.
The first is what most Christians try to do, and they call it evangelism. But the second is what the Christian life in general is all about, “evangelism” aside.
And actually, these are out of order… because no one cares why until they know that.
