Church hypocritical

In the March/April 2009 issue of Interpreter magazine, the Reverend Larry Hollon states:
"A recent study by the Barna group reports that young adults 16 to 29 years old are more critical of Christianity than previous generations. ... Eighty-seven percent say it is too judgmental, and 85 percent say it is hypocritical" (Interpreter; Vol 53, No 2. p 24).
I suppose it could be the result of too many Christian people going to church on Sunday but acting no different from non-Christians on Monday.
Maybe the young adults heard the scripture read from James 3:9-10 "With [the tongue] we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so" (New King James Version). Then, when they went home, they heard their very Christian parents talking bad about the preacher or the choir director or the pianist (or all of them together). Those young adults heard the hypocrisy in their parents conversation.
And, maybe the young adults read Jesus' words, "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye" (Matthew 7:5, Revised Standard Version). Then they remembered the words of the older adults in the church's meet and greet area, which described the dirty deeds of some other member or member's child over the weekend.
With the Reverend Larry Hollon I say, "Clearly, these perceptions challenge our credibility, authenticity and relevance as a Christian community ... Unchurched or not, when we look to the church we seek authenticity ... and a call to action" (ibid). Therefore, no is the time to ReThink Church! We all seek a meaningful life. We want to know that our presence - our existence - means something to someone.
Jesus said, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10, RSV). We all want the life that Jesus came to give. How will live it and share it?
