Christ-Centered?

How do you classify what is Christ-Centered? How can you tell who is Christ-Centered? This past week on the White Horse Inn the guys talk about the Reveal Study and Willow Creek. These guys continue to impress me and force me to think about the Gospel and what is really is. Growing up as an evangelical the more you did, whether that was attend church or different groups or went out and shared your faith with complete strangers, the more Christ-Centered you were. At the end of the Willow Creek study they have come to the same conclusion. The more Christ-Centered someone becomes the more they do by themselves and the less they need the church. Christianity comes back to exactly what the Pharisees thought that Israel was about, do more and try harder. This seems to be the exact opposite of what true Christianity is about. Christ-Centered Christianity is about what Christ and God have done not what we do. It is that we cannot do anything to please our Holy Father so we need someone to take our place and we stand before God not because we have done good but because Christ has. Anyway if you don't already listen to these guys you should check them out here http://www.whitehorseinn.org
