Did you start your Christian walk with zeal and passion for righteousness? Were you passionate about evangelism and ministry but find that the same fire doesn't burn as hot anymore? Did you use to have perfect attendance at Sunday morning worship and bible study but can’t find the energy or desire to be there as much anymore? If you answered yes to any of these questions then there is hope for you!

Whether we claim to be a 'Christian rapper,' a 'Christian hip hopper,' or just a 'plain Christian,' the question should be asked of us, 'just how Christian are we?'

This article is for new Christians, that is, for those who have just recently decided to place all their hope and confidence in Jesus Christ having believed that He has both died for their sins and has been raised from the dead (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
