But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
- James 3:17 (NKJV)
I have heard that a lot of people don’t attend church because it is full of hypocrites, people that judge others for doing the same sort of things that they do when they leave church.
Not all churches are the same and not all people are hypocrites.
There are people out there who want to lead a life that is loving and giving, full of mercy and forgiveness.
People that follow the teachings of Christ.
People that won’t pick and choose who they love based on what the world thinks, but instead loves everyone as God has directed.
People who know they are not perfect, who know that they are sinners right along side the person next to them.
The sin may not be the same but acknowledging the sin is still something that all sinners must do.
And since we are all sinners (Romans 3:23) we should all be able to look each other in the face and be full of grace.
Where do you stand?
Are you “selectively Christian”?
