You say Jesus lives inside of you. Does he? I mean, where it really counts? Let's take an inventory.

Is Jesus in your racism?

Is He there in your homophobia?

Is He the one throwing stones at prostitutes and strippers?

Is it Jesus who is causing your self-righteousness and arrogance?

Is it Jesus calling you to boycott movies and demonize Hollywood?

Is it really Christ in you that determines how you vote?

Does the Jesus in you tell you not to help the poor and the hungry?

Is it Jesus who allows you to be greedy and store up as much treasure as you can on this earth?

Is this Jesus inside of you telling you not to recycle and be a good steward of the land and air?

Are you representing the God who lives inside you, or have you trapped him and kept Him from getting out?

Do we expect anyone to believe that Jesus lives in us? Are we kidding ourselves?
