Christian vs Christ follower
Originally, Christians were called people of the way. (Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life). To get back to that focus, maybe a name change is in order. I remember in my high school Creative Writing class, Rob wore a t-shirt that said "I'm Christian, not religious" It was a great conversation about the difference between living as a disciple and doing faith stuff by rote. How do you define Christian? Is it a way of life? Or is it an accessory you put on occasionally? How would your life be different if you woke up every morning and said, "I am a Christ follower!" Try this out for a few weeks, let me know if it makes a difference.

About the Name
The name comes from Exodus 16: the people of Israel have left Egypt and been wandering in the wilderness for about 40 days & complained to Moses about their need for food. God responds "I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, & each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day...the house of Israel called it manna; it was like coriander seed, whit, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey."
In our fast paced society, it is easy to feel cut off and disconnected for God and others. My hope is that this simple Blog of my sermons, prayers, and experiences will feed your soul each week with God's Word and you will experience the love of Christ, Emmanuel, God with us.
God be with you
