The Challenge of Being a Christian

This post was going around Facebook the other day, esp. among the more liberal-types.

After I posted it, a friend commented - or rather questioned - how much Colbert, a well-paid entertainer/comedian - gives to the poor?

A very good question. One I believe any and all Christians who have the means (which means many, many in America) need to answer regularly as part of their spiritual inventory.

Facing that question may be, just as it was in Jesus' day, the most foundational question of our faith.

I wish I could say I do better.
