An online quiz that started a year ago examined how consistently Christians are living out the teachings of Jesus Christ and has found an increase in the number of believers who are ‘Christians in name only’. ‘The results are disturbing, as 1 in 3 self-proclaimed Christians admit they rarely live out the teachings of Jesus Christ,’ said R. Brad White, the founder of Changing the Face of Christianity, which created the test. ‘Our mission is to reverse negative Christian stereotypes by helping Christians become more like Jesus Christ. And so, our goal is to work with local churches and to help transform these un-Christians into spiritually mature Christians who walk the walk, and better represent our faith to the world.’ More than 1,500 people have responded to the quiz, which was started in Sept 2011 and collected results up to April 2012. In the three other categories, only 2.9 per-cent ranked in the ‘Far from Christ’ section, 38.5 per-cent were ‘Good Christians,’ while 27.8 per-cent were ‘Spiritually Mature Christians.’

Pray: that all Christians will walk so close to Jesus that others will see Him in them. (Is.43:1)
