What Does It Mean To Be A Christian?

A fel­low Chi Alphan (Lynette, if you must know) asked me to rec­om­mend some online expla­na­tions of Chris­tian­i­ty that she could for­ward to a friend who is inter­est­ed.

There are a ton out there, but here are some that I real­ly like:

Pow­er to Change is prob­a­bly my favorite. It eschews over-the-top flash ani­ma­tion and focus­es on the sto­ries of changed lives.

The next three are all vari­ants on a theme–make the gospel look cool through use of snazzy flash and sound­track. They are actu­al­ly quite cool. To each their own:
1) Got Life?: a play on the “Got Milk?” cam­paign.
2) Wuzup God?: a youthy vari­ant of the bill­boards ask­ing ques­tions. It’s not quite as clear as I would like it to be, but it’s still nice.
3) The Kris­to: very cool, but it annoys me that I can’t skip the intro to get to the inter­ac­tive part nor can I pause it (if some­thing cool comes on tv or I get a phone call then the inabil­i­ty to pause becomes a real drag).

Faith Cards: this is an e‑vangelistic twist on the wide­spread elec­tron­ic birth­day and hol­i­day cards out there. I almost nev­er open them myself, but some peo­ple love them. If that describes your friend (which it almost cer­tain­ly does if this is a friend who for­wards you cute sto­ries), they might appre­ci­ate get­ting one of these.

If you have one that you real­ly like, post it in a com­ment. If I like it too, I’ll update the post and include it in the main text!
