I read something from a friend this morning that reminded me of a Vance Havner statement, which goes something like this...
"Christians" have been SUBNORMAL for so long that when someone lives a NORMAL Christian life, they appear to be ABNORMAL... Havner
DLG note... It is important to remember that "normal" is not the same as "average." Normal is that which is the NORM (the standard, the rule, the measure). The NORM (standard, rule, measure) of Christianity is set by God and revealed in the Bible. There are few NORMAL Christians, but many AVERAGE "Christians."
The title "Christian" can be a legitimate designation or it can be a stolen identity. If we are true believers in, and followers of Christ, then we are actual Christians; but if we only use the Name of Christ, falsely identify ourselves as His followers (therefore take His Name in vain), then we are NOMINAL Christians (Christians in name only).
DO NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD IN VAIN, FOR GOD WILL NOT HOLD YOU GUILTLESS.
