                    ARE CHRISTIANS HYPOCRITICAL?
A few years ago, Barna Research conducted a 3 year study about the church which was published in the book Unchristian.  The results weren't shocking.  In fact, we intuitively already knew the results.  Barna leveled three stinging blows against Christians.  They said

                    Story: When was the last time you overheard a conversation like this? 
“Mary, how come you never shop at Asda.” 
And Mary answers, “Well, I used to. But the last time I was there the place was just full of hypocrites. So I’ll never go back there again.” 
You’ve never heard such a conversation

                    Hypocritically, professing belief, performing rote rituals, calling oneself a member of a religion without attempting to follow holy prescriptions, participating in church … with a “social” country-club fervor – these can all be an evasion of holy duty, yet another form of idolatry, as practicing

                    Paul called the False Teachers "hypocritical liars whose consciences have been seared."  In other words, they convinced themselves that they are above any outside standard.  So it’s no surprise that they themselves do NOT follow the rules they make for their followers.

                    Mike the Headless Chicken
 
On September 10, 1945, Mike’s short life was about to take a turn for the worse. On this day, Mike received a death sentence. His owners, Lloyd and Clara Olsen, decided that it was time to slaughter a group of birds, some to sell and to prepare others for themselves. Out

                    Do not hinder prayer. Those that live without prayer in the world, live without God in their lives. “Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name.” (Jeremiah 10:25). To restrain prayer is worse than not to pray. The latter indicate only

                    You share Christ by imitating Christ. A story is told – by Fredrick Beuchner I believe – called “The Happy Hypocrite." It is a story about a man who was born with an awful facial deformity. He grew up alone and lonely. When reaching adulthood, he decided to move from his town to begin a new life.
