"...annoyed..."
Non church goers are
saying in a new survey that they believe in God as a higher being. The same amount said the church is full of hypocrites. Nearly half of them saying that they are merely annoyed with Christians.
For those of us that practice Christianity some realizations of what these things mean should be contemplated. Both as to the sensitivity and genuine curiosity of belief that might exist in those who do not share our pews but more importantly how we are perceived in return.
"Being annoyed" with how a Christian believes could be seen through the prisms of many avenues... but Christians and Churches being "full of hypocrites" can not be misunderstood.
Essentially what the unchurched are telling us is that they want to see us live out our faith most vibrantly but definitely consistently.
A little less conversation, and a little more action please...
