Do Not Judge Christ by Christians. . .
To call yourself a doctor, you must have a diploma. . . To call yourself a lawyer, you must pass the bar exam. . . To call yourself a CPA, you must have certification. . .

More than anything I desire to be Christlike, but I regularly fail. It is safe to say I fail His perfection daily. Christ is pure perfection. . . complete sinlessness, complete selflessness, and I am not. I need Christ. . .
