Hypocrisy According to Craig Groeschel

This book by Craig Groeschel essentially talks about people who says something but behaves almost opposite to what they have said. Hypocrisy. In a hard-hitting book on Christians who are hypocritical in their behaviour and lifestyle, Groeschel lists 12 things that epitomizes Christian Hypocrisy. He has a phrase to describe it. "Christian Atheist." If you think they do not apply to you at all, think again.

The following 12 things are self-explanatory.

1. When you believe in God but don’t really know Him.
2. When you believe in God but are ashamed of your past.
3. When you believe in God but aren’t sure He loves you.
4. When you believe in God but not in prayer.
5. When you believe in God but don’t think He’s fair.
6. When you believe in God but won’t forgive.
7. When you believe in God but don’t think you can change.
8. When you believe in God but still worry all the time.
9. When you believe in God but pursue happiness at any cost.
10. When you believe in God but trust more in money.
11. When you believe in God but don’t share your faith.
12. When you believe in God but not in His Church.

I think all of us need to be reminded, or warned, constantly about our tendency to be hypocritical. It is not a Christian or Church concern. It is a human concern. This is because all people on earth are stricken with the sin of hypocrisy. For people who constantly attack the Church or blame Christians, let it also be known that they too are not immune from the hypocrisy that has tainted the entire human race.
