I Can be a Christian by myself…

Avery and Marsh have an ironic song called I Can Be a Christian By Myself. The first verse goes:

I can be a Christian by myself.
Leave my dusty Bible on the shelf.
I’ll sing a hymn and pray a bit.
God can do the rest of it.
My heart’s the church, my head’s the steeple.
Shut the door and I’m the people.
I can be a Christian by myself.

Some of the other verses include these lines:

I’ll break some bread and drink some wine.
Have myself a holy time.
I’ll take the off’ring then I’ll know
Where that money’s gonna go.
So please remember, Lord, when I die,
Give me my own cloud in the sky.
After this life with its labors
Don’t bug me with needy neighbors.

This is interesting… kind of goes along with the self made person.
However I do not think this is what the Bible tells us about Christianity…
We can not be a Christian by ourselves – Christianity is a communal religion, and we are to be in unity…
