The life and trials of a growing Christian-Day Twenty Six

Is it easier to tell someone about Jesus or show someone about Jesus? Obviously, it's easier to tell someone about Jesus. That's the problem with so many Christians (my self at the top of the list). We are quick to point a finger, quick to condemn, and quick to cut people loose. The entire time we're claiming to love and be a servant of Christ. That's why so many nonbelievers laugh and scoff at us. We aren't being anything like what we're teaching. We go to big, beautiful churches while wearing expensive cloths and we look really good and regal, but inside we are just proud, stubborn people who would rather look important and be useless to Jesus than stoop down and humble ourselves before Him and everyone else. Why do we need such huge, outlandish churches? Why do we need such impressive clothing? Why do we need to be seen doing good by other Christians and then while alone or with non-Christians live like the Devil? Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees "whitewashed tombs" and I fear that He would call many of us the same! So, what do we do about it? Humble ourselves and repent. Be a sermon don't preach one. The entire time of His ministry Jesus served people, He didn't put Himself  first but last. If our goal is to be more like Jesus, I think we're failing miserably.
