Thank you for these truths. I have found the more a person says they're Christian the more I distrust them. I have a sister-in-law who is constantly saying things like, "they must be nice (trustworthy, good, etc.) because they're Christian." She actually uses that as a barometer for trusting people and deciding if they're worth her time…
Thank you for these truths. I have found the more a person says they're Christian the more I distrust them. I have a sister-in-law who is constantly saying things like, "they must be nice (trustworthy, good, etc.) because they're Christian." She actually uses that as a barometer for trusting people and deciding if they're worth her time. Of course, she still loves me (so she says) but I can't help but point out to her on occasion that if we weren't related she wouldn't give me the time of day. And to be quite frank, this same relative is one of the most selfish and judgmental of all of my relatives. Someone who, in 2019 would wear a mask when her allergies were bad but stopped wearing one once it was required in most places. All the sudden she couldn't breath in one. I could go on but you get the picture. So the most "Christian" of all my relations is the least "Christ-like" of them all.
I have a feeling everybody loves you, Cheri. You just have that kind of vibe. Amazing, isn't it, how many of the most "Christian" people I know don't go to church. I'm sorry about your SIL. It's so so hard when you have to make nice with someone because you don't want to cause problems with the rest of your family. I just hate that.
