Facade & Pharisees in the church

[missourimary]

Within a few months after I joined AFF, I realized that many of the people I most enjoyed reading the posts of were people I would never have fellowshipped with in person because of their lower standards or because they didn't attend 'a good church' (meaning an ultra conservative Apostolic church). I allso realized that I enjoyed their posts because they were much kinder and more respectful than those I'd judged 'right' by appearances. It was an eye opening, thought provoking, and life changing revelation. I hope the same for you.

When you can look past someone's outward appearance, it is amazing how loudly the heart can speak through their words and actions. It is an eyeopener to realize that you cannot always judge the book by the cover that you've been accustomed to doing, but when you begin to look at the fruit in their lives, as the Lord Jesus told us too... that is a much better measuring stick.

I've had the same experience.
