We've all heard the accusation from unbelievers, "The church is full of hypocrites; why would I want to be part of the hypocrisy?"
To them we say, "You're right. You don't want to be like those who attend church--you certainly don't want to be like me! I can affirm with Paul the great apostle that I am chief among sinners.
"But church isn't where you go to become like other mere mortals, church is where you go to become free of your burden of sin. We who attend are quick to admit that we are greatly flawed.
"We who attend are quick to admit that our failures and foibles still
attend us--but our sins are forgiven. We who have no righteousness of
our own are robed in the glorious righteousness of JESUS...
"...And that's what we yearn to see in you."
"...And that's what we yearn to see in you."
