“I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day”
-Edgar A. Guest
Recently I have seen a ‘Christian Movement’ on social networks. This could be because I have entered into the world of Christian Colleges, but I think it’s more than just that. The movement I have seen promotes men to become true men of God, and for women to become true women of God. This movement is a good movement, but only if people apply it to their lives. See I’ve come across a new form of hypocrisy in the church during the technology age. Online hypocrisy. Christians, or so-called Christians, can now throw up a post about how they want to be a chivalrous man or honorable woman, but yet their lives reflect just the opposite.
Mark writes about what Jesus said in Chapter 11, “And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.” We as Christians can learn to say, or post, the right things. We learn to do the right things, go to the right places, and put in just the right amount of time, but we manage to lose sight of what Christianity is all about,
Loving God and Loving People.
We read our bible daily but it never changes us. How is it that we can some into an encounter with the creator of the universe and not be changed. Or maybe we never have any encounter with Him, and that’s how we manage to leave unchanged.
Now don’t think that I’m out to get every Christian out there, because there is nothing I want more than a woman of God who is not ashamed to post about it. I know that there are men and women out there who are posting these statuses trying to change or that have already became a man/women of God. And someday I hope to be in the right place with God to find one of these ladies.
Also don’t think that because I’m writing this I’ve got it all figured out. I still struggle with being the man God wants me to be. I still mess up, but hopefully I will learn from my mess-ups and they will make me a better man. Because I believe that Christians mess-up just like anyone else, the only difference is they learn from their mess-ups and become a better person because of them.
