An adjective is a describing word.
The word Christian means "Christ-Like."
Therefore, if the the word Christian is used preceeding another word, that means that the latter is in someway, like Christ.
It seems however, that Christian is a very tired adjective. It is used to described everything from healthcare services to breath mints to meditation practices derived from ancient religion.
Here's a quick test of how to determine whether or not you are using the adjective "Christian" correctly: If, a product, activity, gathering, is something that Jesus would like have done or used it might be proper to call it a Christian product, Christian activity, Christian gathering, etc. If a product, activity or gathering in some is like Christ, it could be called "Christian."
I plan to make many examples of this on the blog.
