One of the biggest issues in the church is the issue of hypocrisy. The Greek word for hypocrite is a theater term that means people pretending to be one thing when they are actually another (acting; wearing masks). In essence, for the church this would mean, people who are sinners who pretend that they have none. The ideal pursuit of the Christian life is to be completely free from sin and its affects, but the truth is that we will have sins (mistakes;impurities;bad attitudes;foul mouths) until we all reach perfection in the fulfillment of our lives on earth. No matter how hard we try, our flesh cannot be saved it is under a curse of death and will pass away until it is remade into a perfect one during the Resurrection.
The church is in desperate need of REAL PEOPLE. People who admit their struggles and do not act like they have it all together. The person with the microphone has just as many issues as the one on the back row, the only thing that separates the two is that one has been forgiven by accepting the sacrifice of Christ and one hasn't.
To make a difference as a Christian BE REAL, BE WHO YOU ARE, TAKE THE CHURCH MASK OFF.
