It is curious to me that once someone finds out you’re a Christian they begin to size you up based on what they think a Christian should be. They then make the tragic mistake of comparing themselves to you and invariably coming to the conclusion that they are not so bad, thus negating the need for change. These people become increasingly difficult to reach for Christ as time goes by as they become more deeply ensconced in their own version of the truth. As impossible as it may seem nothing is impossible for the Lord. So pray for these folks that God would open their eyes to the correct version of the truth so they might know the peace and freedom that comes with that. One must never compare themselves to any other person, but rather to God who is perfect. While we will never measure up to God's standard, at least we will have that standard to strive for. rlkeller
