Calling All Christians: On Hypocrisy - Part 2

I have been a Christian since I was about ten years old. I made the decision to accept Jesus Christ into my heart with full knowledge & comprehension about my decision. I remember being baptized, in the Baptist church that my family attended, when I was around twelve years old. We were supposed to choose someone who touched our lives, to read a scripture verse before the pastor baptized us. I remember that I couldn't decide between my father or my mother, & not wanting to hurt the feelings of either one, I chose the neighbor across the street. Well, that ended up hurting both my parents' feelings. My good intentions caused my parents to be hurt. 

Calling All Christians: On Hypocrisy

Google the words "why do Christians always", & you will be met with links to websites where people are asking "why are Christians always so judgmental?", or "why do Christians always try to convert atheists?", or "why do Christians always try to shove their beliefs down my throat?". The list goes on. I would venture to guess that the title of this post will grab the attention of not just Christians, but of non-Christians alike. This may be due to the simple fact that there is a high likelihood that someone out there may have been hurt to the point of bitterness, by someone claiming to be a follower of Jesus Christ. The title of this post serves to remind all Christians, myself included, that as followers of Christ, we should conduct ourselves in such a way as to bring honor to Jesus, not turn people away from Him. It also is intended to pique the curiosity of non-Christians, who may be wondering just what admonishment this Christian has for her fellow believers.
