Confessions of a Pastor - Part 1

I am currently reading Confessions Of A Pastor, by Craig Groeschel. Honestly, I am not a big reader, especially of books sans photos, but this one really caught my attention. It was probably the photo and caption on the cover of a pastor saying "I can stand a lot of Christians...".

Craig writes in chapter one about disliking some Christians because, "...they can be so darned judgmental. The act holier-than-thou, and they can be incredibly condescending. They'll fight and argue about the dumbest things.....These 'church experts' are often the ones who don't know their own lost next-door neighbors name!" The refreshing part of this chapter is that the Christian he most despises is......get this......himself. Wow. Isn't transparency is wonderful?

I could probably sit here and dog a bunch of different types of Christians but I think the best thing I could do is just go look in the mirror. What about me do I dislike? There aren't enough blog pages to write it all down. I think those who know me would probably agree. There is so much about myself that needs to improve. The great thing is this....God loves me just like I am. He loves me too much to leave me that way.

So often we Christians have plenty of time to sit around and judge others, but how much time do we take to look inside before we judge those outside? Just a thought.
