While this can be far more effective in the arena of evangelism than what we see and hear on TBN, it still may fail to present the truth of Christianity and Christians. For in the process of changing clothes, we often change the gospel so as to rid it of its stumbling blocks. Furthermore and more importantly what people need to hear and see in us is our humanity. Paul said that Christ was glorified in our weakness. Christians get the flu.
Christians have business failures.
Christians have marital difficulties and their children do not always grow up to be valiant men and women of God. Christians say dumb things. Christians struggle with their faith in God and in His ways. Christianity is not magic. Christianity waves no wand over a person s life exempting him of all difficulties.
