It is relatively EASY to get rid of a TV or change your wardrobe, or shave a beard and feel "saved" but much much harder to love your jerk of a next-door neighbor. -Which is the ONE thing that God commands us to do (after loving Him of course, and even THAT is done via way of the 2nd commandment). After all, how much more has God forgiven US for? How much more has He loved us when we don't deserve any?
I have seen many on these boards (this and all the others) who come across as pious (they would never call themselves that), judgemental (they would never call themselves that), and a "contender of the faith" (they WOULD call themselves that) yet don't know what it is like to be a Christian.
Some are almost like the devote Catholic school nuns.... Well versus and faithful catholics but as mean as they come and unaware of what it means to be a Christian.
