The Acid Test of Being a Christian

Some quotes:

• "There are two kinds of people that go to church: there's religious people and real Christians"
• If you are a Christian you have a spirit of wonder that permeates your life. You are always saying "how miraculous", "how interplanetary", "how unreal".
• You see when things go bad, when problems happen, here you can tell the difference between a moralist and a Christian. A moralist says, "What good is all my religion? What good is going to God?"
• A Christian keeps that spirit of wonder. A Christian may say "my career has not gone too well, my love life has not gone too well, it's astonishing... Its amazing that God is as good as He is to me." Its all grace. That spirit of wonder. That sense of being a miracle. That everything that comes to you being an absolute mercy.
