Ok, I'm in a venting mood. Get ready to hear about the top ten reasons that Christian's frustrate me. Don't get me wrong. I'm 100% Christian. Fellow Christians can still frustrate me though, right? I must confess that I often frustrate myself. Go figure. The things that I list are in no way intended to bash any particular person. These are general things that I see happening with Christians.
Ten Reasons that I'm Frustrated with Christians of Today (including myself):
1). The majority of professing Christians simply play church. In doing so they give the true born-again Christians and God a bad name when they don't live out the Christian life in their daily lives.
2). They pride themselves on spending so much time in prayer and Bible study. Meanwhile, people are going to hell and very few see it as their responsibility to spread the gospel.
3). They proclaim that "it's what on the inside that counts" while not realizing that what's on the out side is a result of a person's heart.
4). For whatever reason they think that the church is in place to draw sinners in. Compromises are made so that "fish will feel comfortable hopping into the boat."
5). More effort and energy is made preparing the church potluck then is in personal prayer and service to others.
6). Many choose to home educate their children. Then when the road gets rough they neglect their child's education resulting in the fact that many public school kids are better educated than the conservative Christian.
7). They boldly stand and sing "I have decided to follow Jesus" and then squirm and choose the easy way out when God's ways don't seem to be "working" or "reasonable."
8). They have the strange idea that a relationship with God will make you "happy." When Grandma dies and their car gets stolen they slam their fist down and deny the sovereignty of God.
9). Women's Bible studies become the local gossip center.
10). When they see everyone else doing something they compare themselves to them and lower their standard. The result is a lack of the fear of God.
