Christian is a noun, not an adjective.

There are a few opportunities that I have noticed recently where "acting christian" restricts my ability to be like Christ. I feel like there is an image of christian behavior that has little too do with the image of God's Son, or a biblical understanding of purity, and which I am forced to live up to as a part of the church, particularly as a paid/volunteer staff person at a local church.

and yet, the call and appeal of vocational ministry is very strong...hopefully I am learning balance in all this.
