“Christians struggle with hypocrisy because of our core confusion about what Christianity means. We tend to believe that Christianity is more about being good than about following Jesus.5 If we believe this, when we try to share our beliefs with others, we talk more about attending church, praying a sinner鈥檚 prayer, and becoming a good person than about Jesus. The result is that we become known for morality, not for our love of Jesus.”
