Description

As Christians, we believe that the Gospel is central to our lives. We hear those words preached and taught to us repeatedly. Yet, as fallen human beings our words don't always match with our actions. For example, we may say that we forgive as Jesus did, yet, when we are in a hurry to get back to our seat at the movie theater as we are waiting for our popcorn, we may snap at the cashier who is taking longer than we would like. Failing to act on our convictions has been termed "practical atheism."

In other words, if someone were to judge us based on our outward behavior, they may mistake us for unbelievers. As you take some time to reflect on this, interact with the following questions.
