The Top Christian Excuses

Each excuse contains truth but handled the wrong way they become nothing more than excuses.

1. I don't do in your face evangelism, I share Jesus by the way I live. 

• That's great if people are asking you about the hope you have but do you know how to lead someone to Christ if they ask you how to have a relationship with Christ. How many people are asking about Jesus because of the way you live?

2. I don't share Jesus because that's a personal subject.

• Jesus is not a secret to kept, he is a light to be displayed to the world. 
• Matthew 5:15

3. I don't need to go to Church, I can worship Jesus anywhere

• You can worship Jesus anywhere but we need to be encouraged by fellow Christians and we need to comfort fellow Christians.  The sheep need the flock for protection. Reading the Bible  and following Christ should motivate you to fellowship.
• Philippians 2:1-4

4. I'am upset with the Church, therefore I will not participate in hypocrisy. 

• If you are upset with the Church, be the one that helps change the image of the Church. Speak up and be someone who is used by God to be an agent of change.  Just has one person is not the same as a another person, the same goes for the Church. Do not hold a grudge against the Church for something a few churches have done to you.

5. God said do not judge unless you want to be judged.

• Matthew 7:1 does say this but Jesus didn't say, do not every point out the sin of someone else.  Jesus told us to checkout the sin in our lives and make sure we are not condemning someone for a sin that we have not gotten out of our lives. We need to know the difference between seeing someone commit a scriptural sin in front of us and lovingly confronting them about the sin vs making a prediction about someone's life based on a perceived sin. We are not judges but we are brothers and sisters that lovingly help each other out. 
• Matthew 7:4-5
