We all have low points in our walk with the Lord, but do we find ourselves faking it most of the time?

This week, I spent time with young people at Cross Camp, and we grappled with real questions of whether we are PRETENDING in our Christian life.

Do we raise our hands in worship, but our hearts aren't in it?

Do we serve in ministry, but only because it is expected of us?

Do we go to Bible studies and conferences, but only so that we don't lose face for NOT going?

In this episode, I explore our tendency to try to be Christians without Christ, and I take a look at Jesus 'words in Matthew 15:7-9:

"Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

‘These people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,And honor Me with their lips,But their heart is far from Me.And in vain they worship Me,Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

Join me for this special episode of Rinse and Repeat, as we build some ABC's for safeguarding our lives against pretense in our Christian lives.
