Weakness
The Lord loves to expose. He exposes sinners for who they really are, and He exposes our weaknesses. Whenever I overhear someone bash "Christians" something swells up inside me. I don't know how to react in a Godly way. I feel like I have to defend God or something. I used to have such a hard time with this that I practically detached myself from the label "Christian." I proudly wear it now but still have trouble with my own internal reactions. I guess I should point out sin and use the law to bring repentance. Yes, those Christians behaved badly, they misrepresented Jesus, that is sin, they are covered by the blood, are you? Are you any better? Enough to justify yourself before a Holy God? No, I didn't think so, time for repentance!
