Behind The Proverbial “Christian Apron”


From the Pastor:  Dr. M. J. Seymour, Sr.
 
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 7:19-21) 
While growing up I encountered many a menacing brat that would do evil and provoke others; but after their evilness they would run behind momma’s apron for protection declaring their sweet little innocence.  It is absolutely grotesque to behold this same tactic being used by those who pretentiously lay claim to “Christianity.”  Far too many wicked folk want to go forth in an abortionic froth inflicting their evilness on other; but when confronted they want to run behind the “Christian apron” for divine protection.  The truth of the matter is that there is not an ounce of holy Christianity in them.  “By their fruits ye shall know them.” 
These vile frauds parade in their cloaks of self-righteousness and grace the churches with their presence as they strut in full adorning peacockisms.  The Bible teaches “cursed be the deceiver.”  Their days are filled in evil deeds and abuses breaking almost every commandment of God and are infuriated with anyone daring to question their “sincere Christianity.”  They feel all the liberty of the world to dish out ungodliness, but when challenged they flee to the proverbial Christian apron declaring their angelic innocence and the challenger’s “lack of Christian character.”  “You are supposed to be a Christian, and there you are acting that way toward me!  I am a real ‘Christian’ but you must not be!”  Sound familiar? 
The Lord never instructed the Believers to be punching bags and welcome mats for every scumbag’s evil behavior.  We are the sons of God, ambassadors of New Jerusalem, blood bought by the Christ, and born out of and indwelt by the Holy Spirit.  We are born to be priests and kings to our God, not to be victims of apron hiders.
