Here is an small portion of an article Francis Chan wrote...

He was talking about how the word "Christian" has become diluted over the past years and that we shouldn't strive to live like "christians" but like Christ.  He said that we talk about how the world has become hostile and rejects Jesus, but the fact is that they may have never seen Jesus since that is supposed to be his followers;

Try to be COMPLETELY honest with yourself right now. Is the following true of you?

You passionately love Jesus, but you don't really want to be like Him. You admire His humility, but you don't want to be THAT humble. You think it's beautiful that He washed the feet of the disciples, but that's not exactly the direction your life is headed. You're thankful He was spit upon and abused, but you would never let that happen to you. You praise Him for loving you enough to suffer during His whole time on earth, but you're going to do everything within your power to make sure you enjoy your time down here.

In short: You think He's a great Savior, but not a great role model.
