We follow Him to varying degrees throughout life, and sometimes we oversimplify that truth by pinpointing a date as the day we "became a Christian". I hope I am still becoming a Christian (follower) every day. When talking to people who aren't committed to knowing and following Christ, I avoid the loaded term "Christian" as well because of the negative connotation. On Facebook I have "follower of Christ" beside Religion. Sometimes I refer to Christians as "servants of God" or "seekers".

It reminds me daily to pick up my cross and not stand in the (self-righteous) judgement seat.<br /><br />Thanks for the thoughts!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838125714303477818noreply@blogger.com
