Contrary to Popular belief

Contrary to Popular belief…….

Contrary to Popular belief being a Christian does NOT make you perfect……….

Some people laugh to see a Christian person mess up as if this makes them less Christian….

I was that way at one point I used to love to see deacons or others screw up mainly because the people in question used to ask so high and mighty……..

Contrary to Popular belief being a Christian does NOT make you better than others………

Some believe being Christian makes you high and mighty and better than non-believers…..

Some churches believe that being a Christian makes non-Christians less than you and that interacting with them is a sin, out of their league or just plain dangerous….

Contrary to Popular belief being a Christian does not make all your problems go away……..

Some people believe that being a Christian is an immediate answer. And are let down when a few days later all their bills aren’t paid, and any other issues don’t just dissipate.

Contrary to Popular belief being a Christian does not give you all the answers……

I have heard people who have been Christians for days bluff their way through questions they don’t know the answer to.  This is detrimental especially if you are talking to someone who has no knowledge. It is better to say I don’t know.

Contrary to Popular belief being a Christian DOES NOT give you the right to judge……

This one REALLY ticks me off.  Christians are followers of Jesus they believe in him and his teachings.. And it does NOT say you are to be a judge in fact in John chapter 8…  He tells a group of people trying to pass judgment on a woman for adultery

“He who is WITHOUT sin cast the first stone”….

And no one was able to because newsflash   EVERYONE SINS…..  In fact in Romans 3 it says:

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”
