1 | What about christian as a name? | Acts 11:26 | Rowdy | 131386 | ||
Recently there's been some discussion about the name of christian and possibly coming up with some other alternative. I discovered this very powerful article based on a very old but appropriate story. I don't think I could add a thing. "Do You Wear the Name of Christ?" As christians, we should be constantly aware of the great privilege we have in being able to wear the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. As with any privilege, it is accompanied by a host of responsibilities. We learn of our responsibilites through His Holy Word; and desiring to grow into the image of our "namesake," we study that Word daily, don't we? There is a story told about Alexander the Great, who had already conquered the world. He was reviewing his troops when he saw a slovenly soldier who was a disgrace to his company. He asked the soldier for his name. The soldier replied, "Alexander, sir." The world ruler sternly said, "Soldier, change your ways, or change your name!" from W. Ken Graham |

We should not seek an alternate name, but remember people will change the meaning of the word. They have for love, worship and even God. | ||||||
