One of the questions that our motto brings up is why we use the word “like.” “God is real– why live as if He’s real?”
We racked our brains for other ideas, but nothing else seemed to convey the all-important concept that our lives should reflect the reality of Christ.
So we looked up the word “like” in the dictionary. Among its many colloquial definitions (which included “as if”) was the basic definition “having the same characteristics; similar; equal.” That’s it. As Christians, the way we live should proclaim to the world that GOD IS REAL! That is how we should live.
So until one of you comes up with a better way to convey this motto, we will embrace the word “like.”
Now go… live like God is real.
Very succinct and conclusive. Thanks for doing that research and thinking!
I like this explanation. 🙂
