Little Christs

Being called a Christian was originally an insult.

Little Christs

Today it is again, but this time with more colorful descriptors.

The Christian Slur

Only three times does the Bible ever use the word “Christian.” There’s evidence that the name Christian didn’t come from within our ranks, but may have been given to us as a slur.

Christian means little Christs. Social media and public schools are packed with slurs including Christian slurs. Our kids aren’t immune.

But we live in a day where the word Christian isn’t slur enough for many people. “Christian nut job,” “religious cook,” “hater,” “bigot,” and more are often used to insult today’s Christian.

The apostle Peter said that we’re blessed when we’re insulted because of the name of Christ and to praise God when we suffer as a Christian.  So reinforce in your kids the same thing, building in them the grit to stand strong for the name of Jesus Christ.
