It is late Sunday morning and I just got home from church. I’m always in a good mood after church. Not exactly sure why. Probably because it’s just such a positive environment to be part of. Everyone is trying their hardest to be the best version of themselves.
I have cynical friends who claim that church is just full of hypocrites who only pretend to be nice on Sunday morning. I have not found this to be true. I have met countless folks who are earnestly trying to live godly lives, and to reflect that effort in the way they treat people. It’s not easy to walk a consistent spiritual path in these days of rampant temptation and moral indifference, and many of us, myself in particular, often fail. Maybe that’s where the cynicism comes from.
But hope is out there, and I firmly believe church is the best place to find it.
