Circles or Dots

I just came back from listening to Ravi Zacharias at a conference held by the C.S. Lewis Institute. I truly enjoy listening to Ravi and can't help being challenged each time he speaks. And this time was no different...

What does it mean to be Christian? The challenge comes from how we live our faith. How important is it for us to be Christians? And how is that reflected in our lives? They are pertinent questions that we sometimes ignore. We take it for granted, and sometimes treat our faith much like the t-shirt we wear or the pair of sneakers we put on without thinking about it. In other words, there's me, and then, a part of me or within me, there's the Christian me. 

In reality though, the opposite should be the case. I am a part, I am within, Christianity. All of me being emcompassed by the big picture of my faith. So that instead of my faith being the sneakers I wear, it's me. It's all of who I am.

Even though these two pictures may look the same, there is a significant difference...
