Not been to church in a while, but got this far and want to know more about being a Christian?
It may surprise you to know that it is not about being religious. “Religious” just means doing something regularly. You can religiously go to happy hours in the Mess for instance. Some people even think being a Christian is a “racial” thing like being of European or Asian heritage. Rather Christianity is about a personal relationship with the maker of our Universe through His son Jesus. It is about admitting we are not good enough to live in this world, let alone the next, and seeking God’s mercy so that we can. The bible tells us that we need only knock on the door of the Lord and He will open it. How do you do this? Go and see a Chaplain. Walk up to him or her and say, “Hey Padre, I stumbled onto the MCF website yesterday and was hoping you could tell me a bit about this Christian thing.” Or go and see someone you know practises their Christian faith, perhaps a person who told you about this website. If all else fails contact the MCF Office here! But whatever you do don’t wait until it is too late. In the movie “Gladiator” Russell Crowe says, “What we do life echoes in eternity.” Christians would say “Who you know in life (Jesus) determines your eternity.”
