by Tim Archer · 1 Corinthians 4:5 · Fake
Faking Christianity may score points with your friends and neighbors. Living the Christian life can fill your life with purpose and meaning, giving you a powerful hope for the future.
by Steve Ridgell · Luke 10:30-37 · Hypocrisy
Hypocrites intentionally act different from what they say. That is not true about Christians.
by Steve Ridgell · Matthew 19:16 · Heaven · Good Enough
As long as we can find someone worse than us, we think we are good enough to get into heaven. That kind of thinking misses the point.
by Steve Ridgell · 1 John 1:10 · Hypocrisy
Hypocrites say one thing while intending to do another. That is not what Christians do.
by Rubel Shelly · James 1:26-27 · Hypocrisy
Rubel Shelly reminds us that our pedigree and genealogy doesn't make us Christian, but our discipleship does.
by Patrick D. Odum · Matthew 7:2-5 · Hypocrisy
Patrick Odum writes about firefighters burning down their own station, hypocrites, criticism, and our desire to run others down.
by Steve Ridgell · 1 John 1:10 · Authenticity
The reality of Christian life is not that we do not sin. It is seen in how we react to our sin.
by Phil Ware · 1 Peter 3:15-16 · Witnessing
Phil Ware talks about the need to live the life of Jesus before the world or our witness doesn't mean anything at best and creates hostility at worst to Christianity.
by John Roberts · Matthew 7:3-5 · Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy does exist in the church and we should weed it out, but it doesn't exempt us from church.
by Rubel Shelly · 1 Peter 3:15 · Evangelism · Witnessing
