I currently attend an evangelical protestant church. But I don't really identify with that. I like how many of my friends refer to themselves--as "Christ-followers." I think there is more accuracy in that. It is very popular to say you are "growing in your faith." But honestly, that really seems to me to be very internal, focused on some sort of self-discovery. In reality, I think growing in our faith means (or should mean) that we are doing more and more of what Jesus did, becoming less self-serving. Sometimes I hear people complain that as a church, we don't have a ministry for feeding the poor, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless. Why do we need a "ministry" for that? Why can't we just go out and do it?
