The term "meme" ( [miːm], not "mem"), coined in 1976 by Richard Dawkins refers to a unit of cultural information that can be transmitted from one mind to another. Dawkins said, Examples of memes are tunes, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches.


Thinker/writer Leonard Sweet has written a fantastic article entitled The Jesus Meme.
Read it.
Know it.
Live it. 
"Christians are not a perfect people. The church isn’t a perfect institution. But we worship a perfect Savior.

What, then, is our problem?"

What, indeed. Why are so many people today Christians only because they found Jesus before they found other Christians? 

In his unique, Sweet style, Len states "We don’t need more time off to meditate and medicate, to conference, to "re-imagine." That’s like a doctor prescribing a summer on the French Riviera for a bankrupt banker. We need a fresh outpouring of the Spirit that created the church in the first place. We need to replant the faith in the rich, biblical soil from which it’s been wrenched." 

Sweet Jesus and Amen. He closes the article saying, " The Jesus Meme is not a possession you wield, but a life you yield."

It's not about getting our way, but His way. And, in the words of Tesla, "it's not what you've got, but what you give."
