The first service in our “November to Remember” at Cardiff Baptist Church went very well. Dr. Hollie Miller from Sevier Height Baptist Church preached from Colossians chapter 3 about the difference between a biblical Christian and a cultural Christian.
Here are the points (thanks to Theda for writing these down verbatim).
- A Biblical Christian has a life changing experience, and a Cultural Christian had a religious experience
- A Biblical Christian is burdened over their sins, and a Cultural Christian is indifferent over sins
- A Biblical Christian sees church as a spiritual family, and a Cultural Christian sees church as an organization
- A Biblical Christian is drawn to the Word of God, and a Cultural Christian is bored with the Word of God
- A Biblical Christian enjoys worshipping God, and a Cultural Christian endures the worship service
- A Biblical Christian is committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and a Cultural Christian is not committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ
- A Biblical Christian has a home in Heaven, and a Cultural Christian does not have a home in Heaven.
“Don’t trust in something from the past when there is nothing going on in your life right now” Dr. Hollie Miller
It was a good reminder that being a Christian means continually following in the footsteps of Jesus.
