- The Doctor Will See You Now
There are quite a few things that can turn someone from the direction of being a believer, but maybe none more than hypocrisy. There are many objections by others "in the world," but this one seems to "take the cake." How many times have you heard: "Christians are just a bunch of hypocrites and I don't want to be a part of it?" The Truth? They are right.
The Church is chock full of hypocrites. But think about this: What better place for a hypocrite to be than church? Our Savior didn't come for the righteous, but sinners. A sinner, or a hypocrite, has to be able to find a place to "get better" and what better place than spending time with The Body of Christ. The Church should be somewhat of an "intensive care unit," or ICU, for sinners who recognize they need help and are ready to repent. Heck, even if they aren't ready to repent, being around The Body of Christ may change that, especially when they "see" The Light of The World. Hypocrite or just plain old sinner, around The Church is the best place to be for recovery. I have mentioned this before, but many times I have heard, "I am gonna get myself right and then I will start going to church?" That's silly. It is the equivalent of saying "I am going to get really strong and bowed up and then I will start going to the gym." It just doesn't make sense.
May we all be encouraged to, instead of listening to anyone blaming Yeshua, Jesus Christ, for the shortcomings of any of His followers, challenging those same people to put Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, to the test in God's Word. Challenge them to find even one hint of hypocrisy in Him. They will not find it present. If they but look in scripture, they will find The Most Genuine, Honest, Non contradicting, Wisest, Most Intelligent, and Loving Person Who Has Ever Lived.
We as believers have "Battle Tools" for anyone who would question what Bible Believing Christians are following and none are more powerful than The Way, The Truth, and The Life, Our Savior, The Epitome of Righteousness. May we all point people in His direction no matter the objections of "the world."

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and The Truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He Is Faithful and Just To Forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us.”
I John 1:8-10
“And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His Disciples, saying, “Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
