Dive into subculture

Define Christian:

Those people that place Jesus emblems on their car, with the occasional "Jesus loves you" bumper sticker. They are the ones that pray together in huddles in public on the street corners. They have their Christian Music, TV, radio, coffee shops, "how-to" books, planners, journals, blogs, posters, websites, watches, and the endless amount of stuff that say "Jesus" on them. They place their favorite book in their facebook profile as "the Bible" (That's for you Joe). My personal favorite "Christians are those nice people" while other opinions can testify against even that. They have notes of scripture on their mirrors and above their bathroom toilets. They pray before their meals. They spend one day out of the week going into buildings where they all gather to sing songs and then listen to teaching for a half hour before shaking hands with friends and heading back home. Did I strike a nerve yet?

Among all this subculture I find a trend to label all that we do "Christian" and say that we are great with God, because of our boldness to throw a Christian blanket on ourselves. Underneath we are still a broken, whoring, selfish, and unloving group of people that need Christ. Christ still loves us, and only Christ can change that part of us. Stuff never will. Oh how I am super guilty of this.

Where is this community of people that love Jesus and love others? What ever happened to being in the world but not of the world? I feel like we have extracted ourselves completely from the reality that this world is broken and have placed ourselves into the false reality that if we completely submerge ourselves in Christian stuff that we are living like Christ wanted us to. But wasn't it Christ that was known as a friend of sinners? Wasn't he known for hanging out with the people that most Christians today would run away from? I think the reason that the church isn't growing anymore is that the church has failed (including myself) to become friends with and love the people of the world and has decided instead to hate them. People won't see Christ unless we show them who He is. Also, we won't shine Christ unless we realize that we are not God, but need Him and each other.
