Boring Christians

I was doing some reading this morning and came across a great quote from Howard Hendricks that I thought I would pass on to you all. Hendricks stated, "If you are going to bore people, don't bore them with the Gospel. Bore them with calculus, bore them with earth science, bore them with the world history. But is is a sin to bore people with the Gospel."

For most of my teenage years I thought the Bible was boring, and unapplicable to real life. As I've grown in my faith and matured in my walk, I've found just the opposite is true. I think it's important that we live lives that show that a relationship with Christ makes a difference. Here's a question that always gets me, if I didn't tell people I was a follower of Christ, would they know by my life? Further more, if they didn't know by my life I was a follower, what or who would they say I was a follower of? We need to be more than nice people.
