Jesus VS. Christians

How are Christians (me and possibly, you) viewed in this culture? As a person who remembers what he thought of Christians before he became one -- my 'Bad Christian Radar' is always active, filtering what I do and say through the eyes of the non-believer.

It's not easy. Tele-Evangelists, anti-Gay demonstrators, legalism, organ music, irrelevant liturgy, unattractive churches, unloving religious fanatics and bad Sunday leisure suits -- paint the popular opinion. Tough competition.

As part of his talk, Scott Hodge showed this video. The video is straightforward, bothersome, and quite revealing as it illustrates a huge gap between how people view Jesus and how they view the people who are supposed to be representing him.

Scott says, the video was not edited to make a point.  In the 45 minutes of interviews, he did not receive ONE positive comment for the second half of the video.

From Scott Hodge's blog, pastor at The Orchard.
