We’re Not in Kansas Anymore: Hypocrisy

As Christians seek to make an impact in the world around them for Christ, some emphasize the work of the gospel to redeem individuals, while others work on the social implications of the gospel for all people. Today’s message investigates this need for balance, and the value of the believer as salt and light in the world around them.

Ephesians 6:10-20 and Philippians 2:12-16

    I want to be critical of those who are critical, challenge those who think they are right, attack those who want to tell me what to do and just stay the same myself…..it’s not really working for me.Somehow I am surrounded by the nicest people who care about their families and are working hard. That is helping a lot. I would never have guessed how life would change even in my own home because of the technological advances.I have never been to Kansas but it sounds like a nice place.

    I have been challenged by the sermon series so far. Though I identified with the Christian right, I have the thought many times that those at are the most outspoken seem to be going about changing the world in the wrong way or at least gaining attention in a negative way for Christians. When I think about Jesus and how he went out to the city gates and met with the sinners and outcasts and loved and spoke into their lives; he didn’t preach without a motive to save and show his love for them. Whether they accepted him was up to them. He didn’t preach for the sake of hearing himself preach. Thanks for the challenge.
