Chris.
Apostle Paul reminded the Romans and the Holy Spirit reminds us that there is no place for boasting in the Life of Faith. It grieves the Lord when we boast. We need to be humble witnesses of Jesus Christ, not boastful ones. There are some people who are offended by boastful Christians whose testimony does not really exalt Christ at all.
If we examine the Ministry of Jesus Christ, we can see how much He cared for the people that He called and served. His Ministry was very clear, He gave hypocrites a hard time and He showed love and care to those people who were open to Him.
The Church today needs to have this same clarity. We need to care for the people whom the Lord has called and serve them well, whoever they are. The Church should not have to struggle silently with hypocrites that maybe spoiling it. These hypocrites need to be confronted and helped if they want to be helped.
