Romans 7:14-18
1 John 1:5-10

"Christians are hypocrites!" You hear that kind of thing a lot. And while most think we'd object to such a claim, we actually embrace it. Christians are hypocrites and liars and thieves and adulterers and prejudiced and angry and addicted...and, well, you fill in the blank with your "things." We are and fully admit to being...broken. Doesn't that invalidate Christianity? Nope. Christianity isn't dependent on good people, Christianity is dependent on a good God...who takes us, forgives us, molds us, shapes us, changes us, works with us...and puts it on "repeat" as He forgives our short comings over and over again.

Galatians 5:16-25
John 14:1-6

Christians are often called “narrow-minded” and to be honest, we have to admit that we are. Now, by that we don’t mean it’s okay to be mean...or hateful..or obnoxious...but the Bible does call us to singular thinking when it comes to who God is and what God does and how God operates. We hold fast to Jesus being the only way to heaven...but we do so because Jesus does. Call us “narrow” if you’d like...but Jesus remains, the only way, the only truth, and the only life and no one gets into heaven without Him. And so the good news is? Jesus has made Himself available to every person ever born and through Him they too can be born again!
