About This Quote

John Denver was a very famous singer who often used the word “Christian” to refer to his own beliefs. This is not uncommon among famous people, but John Denver was very much opposed to the idea that Christians should only be like choirboys. He said that there were three different kinds of Christians: those who just say they are Christians and then do nothing, those who only go to church on Sundays, and then there are those who actually live their religion.
