| Zealous hypocrite or real Christian? Image from Google Images |
Welcome to another podcast episode of “What’s an Adventist?”
How important is it to be “real” when it comes to being an Adventist Christian? Well let’s put it this way, Ellen White once wrote the following about believers who are not genuine, “He might display great liberality; but should he, from some other motive than genuine love, bestow all his goods to feed the poor, the act would not commend him to the favor of God. In his zeal he might even meet a martyr’s death, yet if not actuated by love, he would be regarded by God as a deluded enthusiast or an ambitious hypocrite” (Acts of the Apostles Ch. 30)
In order to avoid delusion or hypocrisy, a reality check is sometimes needed. A recent study of the Adventist church shows what is really going on in the church today and what are the prevailing beliefs and attitudes among church members. Are we being “real” with ourselves, others and God or are we just pretending to be zealous Adventists but are far from demonstrating genuine faith and love?
