Hypocrites, liars, deceivers. We typically use these terms for groups like the Pharisees in the Bible...but what we, as followers of Jesus, don't often realize is that those terms are what people outside the church use to describe a Christian.
How can we reach people outside our walls if they all think we're full of hot air? Well it starts by trying to spread the word that we aren't perfect. And it continues by helping people realize that we all make mistakes in our lives.
