What are we doing?

Some time ago I wrote a post about  Being Real and this is sort of a continuation of that. Recently I wrote a post about why we should not celebrate Christmas.. And along the same lines there are arguments about having Sabbath on Saturday or Sunday, and keeping the Jewish feasts, and only eating certain foods or discounting certain parts of the Bible, or having scientific proof that God exists.

But does all of this really matter? Really? Why should we care about celebrating Christmas of not? Or on what day we rest? Or what we eat? Is it that important that we start fights about it, even wars! No wonder that non-Christians look at us with skepticism. Christians are the most flaky, hypocritical and indecisive people I have come across. We judge each other, we kill each other, we steal and slander.

And all that because we have forgotten what is important! We have forgotten why we call ourselves Christian (recently I choose not to call myself Christian because I am ashamed of what we are doing). And if you choose to call yourself a Child of God, a believer in Jesus, you better stand by it, and live it.

I was thinking about Christmas  and whether we should celebrate it or not, and the Holy Spirit asked me: "Why are you worried about that? Is it really important? Should you not rather love me and forget about the rest?"
