If Christianity is true, why aren’t Christians better people? Why are there so many hypocrites in the church? Why haven’t they been transformed by Christ?

Skeptics often question how transformative Christianity truly is when they see Christians behaving badly. But is this a fair critique of the faith itself? When a musician plays Beethoven poorly, do you blame Beethoven?

This week, Frank is diving into your listener questions! Tune in as he responds to an email from a concerned Christian husband whose wife is currently deconstructing her faith, due in part to Christian hypocrisy and “a lack of transformation among Christians as a whole.” During the episode, Frank will answer questions like:

  • How did C.S. Lewis address the “Christians behave poorly” objection?
  • Why is comparing the behavior of “Christians” to “non-Christians” not a fair assessment?
  • What’s the difference between justification and sanctification and why does it matter?
  • Why do some people appear more ‘sanctified’ than others and what can Michael Jordan teach us about the sanctification process?
  • What does Barna Group research reveal about professing Christians in America?
  • What should we make of “bad” Christians and “good” atheists?

Later in the episode, Frank will address a question about politics and the so-called “separation of church and state.” What 8 key pieces of advice does he have for a woman who wasn’t allowed to set up a voter registration table at her church, how can the Christian church use politics to love our neighbors, and will going political impact your church’s tax exempt status? All of this and more will be covered in this timely edition of ‘I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist!’

For more on “Hypocrites in the church”, see this short video of Frank at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills.
