Good Morning! John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command." You know one of the most common charges leveled against the Christian faith is that we are just a bunch of hypocrites. Sadly, those who make such a charge often have someone in mind who claimed to be a Christian, but didn't act like it. I know I can be that way sometimes here of late. And I am kind of torn in this. For some of Jesus' strongest words were reserved for hypocrites, for people who claimed to believe in God and follow His laws, but in reality lived only for themselves. And this is really what has been bothering me lately. Because Jesus compares them to Whitewashed Tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but inside they are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. And that is what is bothering me. I want to be honest with you people cause I have been that way with you for all the years I have been doing this. I have met someone and have fallen in love with this person. And I want to be with this person for the rest of my life. And this has brought up thoughts and desires in myself that I know are not appropriate, but I think them anyway. Am I a Hypocrite? I know none of us is perfect and we all fall short, but it is just something I have been struggling with here of late. Even to the point of stopping doing this ministry in the mornings, because I am not worthy to be doing this. So could you please give me some feedback on this. I know my heart is committed to Jesus. But I guess Satan is telling me because of the way I feel about this person and these thoughts I am no longer worthy to spread the Good News. I am torn here and will be praying about it, so will you please join me. And if you have any feedback, please feel free to text me or email me. HABD and thanks!

Daniel, I think you should continue with your ministry because it helps others and it helps you too. I don't think your a hypocrite because you've fallen in love, I'm happy for you. No one said we had to live alone the rest of our lives. I'm know you will find answers to all your questions because I know you are seeking them from the Lord. I'm glad we're friends man and if I can help call me.
