The Christian life can be very confusing. I find it such because those that don’t follow Christ think one way about Christians and those that claim to be Believers feel there is a big misconception about what a Christian is about. Some people hate church. Those that are in church often don’t REALLY know why they are actually there. Conferences, books, sermons, and bible studies. It gets confusing. Some Christians don’t drink. Some love Dos XX with lime. Some don’t kiss until the honeymoon and some enjoy smoking Monte Cristo #2’s. There are those Christians that are on a mission to find a vaccine for gays and some who cheat on their wife. Some Christians live with the poor and many agonize where to give THEIR 10%. Do Christian’s pray for “purpose” or “blessings”? It just gets confusing.

What if it was more simple? What if only 2 things mattered? And what if these 2 things were tattooed, ugly or not, to the identiy of what a Christian is. Forgiveness and love. What if every Sunday and every gathering and every time you had a conversation there were only 2 questions?

Who are you forgiving that you probably shouldn’t?
Who are you loving that is hard to love?

Wouldn’t that be insane if the big middle finger was given to everything else we think is important…and we just looked to these 2 simple, yet complex things.

Wonder what that would be like?
