We continue our “Tough Questions” series with a message entitled; “If Christianity is True, Why is the Church SO Full of Hypocrites?”
Has this question ever crossed your mind? Before I knew Christ it crossed my mind many times. I don’t have an answer for that Tough Question except to say that one day we’re all gonna stand before God & give an account of all the things we did or didn’t do, the stuff we said or didn’t say. But here are 3 interesting things about this that I do know…
The Church should be full of hypocrites; Jesus founded His church to bring Real people into a relationship with His father & to help them to be more like God. So, if a church is doing what God wants it to do, it will be attracting people who look & act like they need a Savior. Does this excuse arrogant, immature, hypocritical behavior? No, but maybe it explains it a little.
Not all Christians are hypocrites; Let’s get this straight, we shouldn’t pass judgment on a person or group of people based on a negative experience cuz many Christians aren’t perfect but are authentic.
Jesus was not a hypocrite; The ultimate issue about Christianity is always gonna center around the person of Jesus & if Jesus was a hypocrite then following Him is senseless. Throughout the Gospels we see many tried to undermine Jesus but couldn’t find hypocrisy in Him.

Tough Questions message series
Our September message series at BPC is “Tough Questions” and when it comes to the things of God there are so many Tough Questions out there on a lot of people’s minds, wouldn’t you say? The TQ’s we won’t be asking are ones like “What’s Heaven Gonna Be Like?” or “Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead?” The TQ’s we’ll tackle this September 2011 are one’s that are a part of our everyday lives, are one’s that most people are thinking about but might be hesitant to ask.
Tough Questions like, “If Christianity is True Then Why is the Church So Full of Hypocrites?” (The topic of our next podcast) “The Bible; Is It True, Who Wrote It & What About the Errors?” as well as “What’s the Point of Problems & How in the Heck Do I get Rid of Them?” are our 2 most recent podcast’s which, if you click the title of this blog post you’ll be directed to our podcast webpage.
Do you have a few Tough Questions rolling about in your head? Well, this September they may be the very same ones we’ll be discussing at BridgePoint Church.
