Why are soooo many Christians so eager to jump on the bandwagon to identify themselves as evangelical? The term "evangelical" (whatever people think that means) has never appealed to me and it turns me off more every year. I am happy being a devout Christian who tries to serve Jesus, supports my church faithfully, I live a compassionate, obedient life for Jesus, donate generously to many Christian and other good causes (including Sojourners), and try to be generous towards others. And I tell people I am not an evangelical. Is that okay, or does that label me as "bad" in the eyes of lots of fellow Christians?
