I like your Christ.
I do not like your Christians.
They are so unlike your Christ.

What a thought provoking quote. Even Gandhi didn't want to go to church because he felt it was filled with a bunch of hypocrites.
I understand. Despite being a Christian I am struggling with that same feeling myself right now. I have been watching someone single handedly speak all the right words with their mouth, but destroy literally hundreds of people with their actions. This person is in a position of leadership and actively and loudly professes to be a Christian. When I listen to them say "love one another" and then shred people literally to ribbons, I understand why there are so many people who feel as Ghandi.

Sigh. Me too.
I think most Christians (sadly to say) have experienced this.. and it's hard to measure the damage that these types of people cause..
Well today said person ran over me like a Mack truck and stomped me into an oily spot. I need reinforcement on God's armor in a major way.
i completely agree with that quote. i, too, struggle with trying to find the right fit. i honestly don't think it exists. lucky for me, i can get my jesus on anywhere...i don't have to be in a big building to find him, ya know?
