When I've just finished doing/saying/something with someone, and then, sort of step back, and the thought occurs, "Man, That was pretty good goin' Eric, *very* Christian of you." and then I feel myself puff up, strut jut a bit, as the slimy-green monster with gleaming yellow eyes gloats in my self, "Yes! You are the best Christian! The best!"
and it all goes down the drain.
some call it smug self-righteousness; some call it pride; some call it hypocrisy...
Put me in front of other things, the confident trust that Mighty God embraces with everlasting arms, is there... but just let that first tiny gloating thought gain a toe-hold. The challenge is on!
My life is hardest to be a Christian in real life. I'm content with me and mine. He smiles on me. I work alone...
Sometimes it's hardest when I'm reminded of scripture in situations. Good ones and bad ones. Sometimes the timing isn't right to raise your hands. Other times it's not a receptive crowd and you sit on your hands. Most times you just think you know what's right then it's gone. And other times you're caught up in it...
sometimes you toss spears...
Then go to confession online... LaughOutLoud
No penance so far...
thanks sam
Sam, I missed "Christ-like".
What you do is be proud of how you act all the time.
Is it okay if some of us are religious or theological but don't knock on doors? Some of us think there were more than 2 termites on the Ark, but still appreciate a good passage. You're cool 'cause you don't tell anyone why their God is wrong, you get that! He has a tan and a different language south of the border with a different statue. Still Him...
ANYONE who worships will receive
Faith counts, right?

I find it hardest at work. I see so much ugliness that doesn't help.
In my head. (Does that count?)

In my view, It's easy as can be . . . . . . . . . . . . . for about an hour on Sunday.
It's just those other pesky 167 hours a week that are a little tough.
