Faithful”

“From time to time, I have people tell me they will never set foot in a church because they have known Christians who were hypocrites. Whenever I hear that, I think, But there are probably a lot of hypocrites at your favorite restaurant. Does that keep you from going there to get a tasty meal? Neither should it keep us from going to church to understand and encounter our true selves.

Besides, I have a feeling a lot of people we might think are hypocrites really are not. These are people who truly feel a calling to live for Jesus. That is what they want to do. But they have fallen victim to the Identity Thief. This does not make they hypocritical when they sit in church, praising God, because that is their true identity. That is who they really are. When they engage in behavior of the sin nature, that is when they wear a mask. That is when they are hypocritical. Satan is the one who is all about the masks. He keeps us from our true identity. He keeps us living inside lies.”

“When God looks at us, He does not see our broken, rejected, useless state. He sees what He intended us to be. He sees what the Lamb sacrificed to reinstate us.

His DNA was given to restore ours.”
