I have recently noticed how people make themselves out to be a person they are not. I guess I have know this for a while but here lately it has been made real to me. These certain people get so wrapped up in themselves, they forget about the people around them. They do not care about others feelings or needs. They stop listening and become so self focused. I hate being around a person like that. I really think that this is a great example of what the church looks like to people on the outside. The church has become so worried with its self image, worrying about what other "christians" think, worrying about not fitting into this subculture called christianity, worrying about what kind of music we should sing and how we should sing it. We have stopped listening to the least of these(Matthew 25), the widows and orphans, the homeless, and the poor. In some since we have stopped serving and have taken only for ourselves. We have convinced ourselves that this is what being a follower of Christ looks like. Wow, how wrong are we? How big of an ass have we become?
