What do people think about Christians

As a minister of a church you often wonder what other people think about Christians. I suppose some of us are a bit nervous about sharing our faith with others. I think that perhaps were a afraid of what other people think so much that it keeps us silent when we should be sharing the best news ever!

Now that doesn't mean we need to ram it down peoples throats but if we share it with a respect for others and a love for them I think we can make a difference.

Today I saw this video which illustrates this very point. Penn, of Penn and Teller, is a very famous American magician and is well know for his very negative views about Christianity as a committed aethiest. But there was someone who he speaks about that made a very positive impact on him. Watch this video and if you are Christian think about how you can influence others not just by what we say but also the way we say it.
