Many people have a completely wrong idea about Christianity and what it means to be a Christian. The sad fact is often they get this wrong idea from Christians themselves! Let me explain…
Many people I speak with think that being a Christian is about being a “good” person and living a “good” life. This message is communicated when the church takes on the role of moral policeman for society – thinking that its main role is to say what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour for everyone – even those who don’t consider themselves to be Christian.

As we approach Christmas time, I’d like to remind you of the well-known story of the Magi who followed the star to find the Christ child. “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts” (Matt 2:11). This story emphasises a strong Biblical principle: the worship of Jesus is usually accompanied by giving.
