The "C" Factor

No, not that C (as in #1)…

The “C” factor is something that is at work in world today, just doesn’t seem to live real close.

It appeared a LONG time ago, and spread quickly throughout the world upon its arrival. In our modern, comfortable existence in the Western Age, I’m not sure we see it very clearly these days. I’m talking about the magentic properties of being a Christian.

Jesus – swarmed by people His disciples – swarmed by people

[Before you go off thinking about all the upsides, don't forget they were almost all killed for the message]

Being a true geek, I have to record what makes up the “C” factor:

• People focused
• Willing servant of others (not just friendly/kind)
• An encourager
• Passionate about this life and the next
• Can relate the truth
• Willing to get “run over” in order to love someone
• Genuine

American culture has had some of these things ingrained for several generations now, and I can see it starting to fade. Perhaps then the “C” factor will become more prominent once again and increase it’s magentism.

Care to add/change the “C” factor?
