Hello all,
I just woke up from a dream that was  bothering me and decided to check out Youtube.  I found this video (link  is above) and wanted to share it with you all. 
Isn't it funny when a regularly UN-righteous person does a "good  deed", or something they consider righteous, that all that persons  wrongs suddenly disappear and everyone applauds them for their kind  heart or their supposedly righteous deed (which happens a lot in  Hollywood or among musicians)?  They may usually live a life of sin  which includes fornication, cursing, blasphemy, etc, but once a good  deed is done, or this person proves that they "love they mama" then that  person is alright. 
On the other hand, if a Christian messes up or does something  sinful, it's time to let the hammer fall, give it to em', etc.  All of a  sudden all Christians are hypocrites, and you hear the "see, I told you  so".  So, all that person's good deeds, love for Jesus, and usually  quiet way of living mean NOTHING and that person should be exposed as a  hypocrite!! 
THIS IS ONLY a way for people to feel better about themselves, to  validate their reason for breaking the 4th Commandment (not observing  the Christian Sabbath, worshiping in Church) and makes them feel more  righteous. 
I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure many Christians feel the  same.  I'm not perfect, and God knows I can't be, but I love Jesus  Christ, who IS perfect.  Jesus came to save sinners, not the self righteous.   The difference in a Christian's life is that they love God and are  thankful for the salvation provided by Jesus Christ.  This thankfulness  will show in a Christian's life through obedience to the word of God,  but failures will undoubtedly happen because we have a body, and our  body remains racked with the disease called sin until we die. 
A lot of people compare themselves to others and grade their  behavior on a curve.  God has a different standard, and He is the only  judge. 
One day the deeds of all will be exposed, the secrets of all will be exposed, and judgment will come from the only One who is qualified to judge the living and the dead, the Lord Jesus Christ.   He won't be a baby in a stable when He comes, or as a sacrifice for  sins, or a pacifist, but He will come as LORD, as Judge, as King and a  as a warrior.
So, if you can spare 10 minutes of your time you can check out this  youtube video if you wish.  I'm not sure who this guy is, but I think he  does a good job.   
---- A sensitivity disclaimer:  This email  goes out to a lot of people, so don't take it personally, unless it  applies to you.  I used to send out emails pretty regularly, and I used  to update my Blog pretty frequently, until I realized no one was reading  them!!  
God bless,
