Beware of Christians

My church hosted a screening of the Movie "Beware of Christians" recently.



In this Documentary, 4 College guys from Highland Park, Dallas take a trip to Europe to escape american culture and throw everything they know about church out the window, all with a goal to grow closer to God.
They interview many Europeans about views of faith, and problems facing young people today.
What I took away from it after was the art of listening. I have a problem with talking and arguing instead of listening. But once you stop talking and start listening, you begin to understand truly what us Christians need to do to live like our name... (Christian means 'Little Christ')



Matthew 23

Religious Fashion Shows
 1-3 Now Jesus turned to address his disciples, along with the crowd that had gathered with them. "The religion scholars and Pharisees are competent teachers in God's Law. You won't go wrong in following their teachings on Moses. But be careful about following them. They talk a good line, but they don't live it. They don't take it into their hearts and live it out in their behavior. 


Christ didn't look down on the prostitutes, thieves, and beggars. Christ called out the Pharisees...a.k.a. the religious of the religious.... They knew the rules, went to school for religion, and made sure everyone knew they did.
But Jesus knew what they were really all about.
Beware of Christians, to me, calls upon the fact that a lot of God's proclaimed people aren't really walking with him, and it's blatantly apparent, especially through a non-Christians eyes.
I applaud Will Bakke for a great film that's hilarious, and thought provoking at the same time!
