ThinkChristian has posted an interesting story illustrating the gap between how we're supposed to act as Christians and our actual reputation. Here's a small excerpt:

"I said, 'Answer me this one question.' Now keep in mind, I'm planning on witnessing to him. 'If there was a God and he had a church, what would it be like?' He sat there for awhile making up his mind to play or not. Finally he sighed and said, 'Well, if there was a God and he had a church - they would care for the poor, heal the sick, and they wouldn't charge you money to teach you the Book.' I turned around and it was like an explosion in my chest. 'Oh, God.' I just cried, I couldn't help it. I thought, 'Oh Lord, they know. The world knows what it's supposed to be like. The only ones that don't know are the Church.' "

What do you think? Is he right, have we missed it? If so, why did we get off track?
