Forgiving Hypocrites

One of my pet peeves are hypocrites at church.

Then again- I guess I am being the 'Biggest Hypocrite' of them all for judging others!

Lord, forgive me for this blog.

But hey, we all need Christ's grace, and that's one of the reasons we go to church in the first place. :)

So, to...

- The person who doesnt move over one seat to accomodate the senior citizen walking down the church aisle looking for a seat-
because you are too focussed on singing,  that you ignore your neighbors...
we know you're heart is with the Lord, but let's be considerate while we're at it.

- The person who complains that the family's kids or babies in the pew next to yours are crying too loud, that you cannot hear the pastor speaking... pls lets not make it so obvious that their kids are disrupting the church experience,
and remember Jesus loves little children.

- The person who either A) cuts in front of the line to receive communion first, or B) criticizes the person who cuts in line in front of you, to the point that everyone hears you criticizing them...
please, lets be gracious. And remember that communion is about remembering Jesus, so let's act like Jesus.

- The driver who honks their horn so loudly in the church parking lot when it takes such a long time to get out of the lot after the service is over... please remember: you just came from church.

As mentioned, I may be the biggest Hypocrite of them all for pointing out where we Christians are missing the mark- but I do so in love.

And if it makes you feel any better, other Christians have corrected me too, when I
miss the mark as well. :)  So, we're all in the same boat.

Imperfect people... And that's why we need Christ's grace in the first place. :)
