Knowing and Being Known

This seems the strangest thing? With so many "better educated" christians carrying certificates of degree in theology and ministry or some other christian expertise one could be excused for expecting it to be the other way. Perhaps our claim that education is the way is proving incorrect?
Perhaps it is because we feel we have so little to talk about? What is the strength of our testimony? What will encourage people to listen?
Recently our church prayed for a man in Germany concerning his employment situation. His daughter, who attends our church returned his thanks and his excitement He now had a contract to drive delivery vehicles. She said that he had commented he had never had a church pray for him before. How strange! And this man was a musical director in his church! What hope has the world if we will not even pray for one another?
I am neither credentialed nor a qualified pastor but my philosophy and pray is simple, Give them something to talk about. Very few refuse prayer

Good article, but out of those 2 billion "Christians," how many are Bible believing Christians and how many are either false-converts or simply Christian in name only? What is the standard for determining a Christian for this survey? Is a Catholic or a Seventh Day Adventist considered a Christian? How about a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness?

Still, the main point of your blog remains true. Even if there are only 100,000 Christians in the world, we cannot be too inward focused- we need to seek to reach the lost outside of our church also.
