Our poor world aspires simply to point out where Christians have gone wrong, and that is pretty much where it goes wrong. It is as though many of us, when of the world, are actually all the more judgmental: for we are stuck on a bad Christian while the Christian is pinned to a good Christ. Criss Jami
About This Quote

When we go to church, we don't want to be judged by our actions. We want to be judged by the way we act. But, when we go to church, everything that happens there is supposed to be a reflection of Christ. Everything that happens out in the world is supposed to be a reflection of Christ.

Everything that happens at work is supposed to be a reflection of Christ. However, every time something terrible happens, Christians find themselves saying, "Oh no! What's happening? It looks like the world is falling apart again."
