Cultural Christian

A individual bound by their desire not to follow Christ, but to impress man. There are two types. The first is self- righteous. They believe that just because they grew up in the church or that their grandparents are Catholic they are automatically Christian and therefore saved. The second one is the opposite. They believe that they can’t be as good as the others or chose not to be, and sin just for the fun of it.
The Christian religion becomes mostly a title they use to walk around with although they don’t truly believe. Church becomes a family event, or just a personal way to meet a woman or a man with a high moral standard. Cultural Christians occupy much of the labeled “Christian” part of the world. In contrast, “Christians” are individuals who are bought by Christ and contain the Holy Spirit. These individuals can be identified by how they love others. They struggle with doubt, sin and admit they are just as sinful as the next. Even the Apostle Paul stated he was the worst of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). Christians take irrational risks in the hopes of glorifying God, contrarily the Cultural Christian takes risks in the hopes that you will think he is a good person. A cultural Christian cares what you think about him, a Christian cares what you think of Christ. Where a Christian hates his sin, a cultural Christian is quite fine by it, and may even offer you some of his blunt.

Yeah, he’s a Cultural Christian; it’s quite sad honestly. I pray for him every night.
