Hard questions




I got a question the other day at my office while having lunch.

One of my colleague asked me:

" I know you are a Christian, I know you are a leader at Church and that you go to Church every Sunday, but do you really believe in it? Are you really buying in to all what is written in the Bible?"

First I was very surprised , in general my colleague never asks serious question about faith, its always ridicules questions or statement, and I thought this question was very ridicules at first. When I came home and started thinking about it , why did he ask? Why to me? Is it so hard to believe?

I also started to think that am I good at talking the talk, but how about walking the talk?

Is there something in my life, my way of living, acting, that makes him question my faith or what?
I had to ask him and so I did.

He asked me for two different reasons. First as he said" lots of things in the Bible doest not make sense. We live in the year 2017 and we know better."

That was standard reasoning's that I am familiar with, but then comes no 2.

He have met so many Christians who talks a lot but live life that does not match their talking.

I could not argue with that. I've heard even priests who does not fully believe in the gospels, who violate the very core in Christianity, I've met Christians who you could not for a second believe are Christians but then I thought:

How about me!?

Are there things in my life I have to get rid of, I have to change?

How about you?
