You might disagree, and that's okay...

Things that are true:

1. Christians are hypocrites; the ones who say they're not hypocrites might be the most wrong.

2. Christians are not goody-goodies; the ones who say that they are probably aren't getting things quite right.

3. Christians are no better--or worse--than anyone else.

4. Christians are not different from anyone else.

5. Christians don't have exclusive rights to redemptive grace.

6. You don't have to be a Christian to be a "good person".  

7. You don't have to be a "good person" to be a Christian.

8. Hopefully, staunch belief in Jesus Christ will motivate and inspire you to be a good person.

9. You still won't be better than anyone else, though.

10. Christ does things through people who don't follow him.

11. Christ does things who do follow and believe in him, too. 

12. The difference is that Christians have an openness too--and an awareness for--the things that Christ might do and, therefore, hopefully live in such a way so as to make Christ's work more evident.

13. They're still not better than anyone else, though.

  1. So good. May I add, 14. Christians need grace every day. 15. I am really thankful for that grace (this one is personal, but true nonetheless).

    also, hey.
