Charlene Winkel must have struck a chord with ‘Christian Today’ readers given the popularity of her article "Being the Christian among the non-Christians
She writes: “Having been a faith-based and committed Christian for over a decade you could easily think I had become accustomed to the strange looks when I tell people more about myself; for example, that on Sunday mornings I go to church instead of recovering from a boozy session with friends, that my life manual is the Bible, and that I have a personal relationship with God. However, with so many prejudices attached to Christianity, it can sometimes be hard to speak candidly about my faith.”
Such comments are symptomatic of a worrying lack of confidence often found among many believers today. Mark Greene referred to this in the Evangelical Alliance’s recent report ‘21st Century Evangelicals’.
