Some Christians rattle on and on about “The Family” while neglecting their kids.
Some Christians “fight” for “social justice” by “raising consciousness” about “The Poor” while judging their friends on how trendy their clothes are.
Some Christians pontificate about “The Church” while rolling their eyes at the people in their actual congregations.
Some Christians are dogmatic about “The Truth” while they’re self-deceived about their own slavery to sin.
He goes on:
“The Family” never shows up unexpected for Thanksgiving or criticizes your spouse or spills chocolate milk all over your carpet; only real families can do that.
“The Poor” don’t show up drunk for the job interview you’ve scheduled or spend the money you’ve given them on lottery tickets or tell you they hate you; only real poor people can do that.
“The Church” never votes down my position in a congregational business meeting or puts on an embarrassingly bad Easter musical or asks me to help clean toilets for Vacation Bible School next week; only real churches can do that.
“The Truth” never overturns my ideas and expectations; only the revelation of God in Christ does that.
