What kind of Christian are you?

This morning's message from Dr. John Perkins at the Christian Community Development Conference emphasized the need to be known as Christians by our love. Too many American Christians are known by denominations, political agenda, race or nationality.

Why do Christians feel the need to be identified by other standards? Especially when these standards are limiting. It is a matter of saying I'm a Christian but...

Too few Christians are known by our love. How can that be when Christ said that we would be known by this factor (John 13:35)?

Our love must be demonstrated, otherwise it is hardly love at all. Acts of love, both within and outside our churches, will draw people to Christ.

How are you known? What type of Christian are you?


A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:34-35

it's funny but your post got me thinking all of my favorite Christians are best known to me through the sheer brilliance of their non judgmental love for everyone
