Twenty-two million Americans say they’re Christians,
but do not go to church. Why? Too many have been hurt by people in churches –
by other Christians. It’s a fact that is flaunted by atheists. Christians can
be hypocritical, judgmental, mean-hearted people. Why would someone want to have
anything to do with that?
When
Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the
physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.
Mark
2:17
Christians are not perfect. We sin, we make
mistakes, and we often do it again. We are the ones Jesus came to help. You are the one Jesus came to help and
to save. Please do not give up on Jesus based on your experience with some of
His imperfect followers.
