"These religious types were the fans that Jesus seems to have the most
trouble with. Fans who will walk into a restaurant and bow their heads
to pray before a meal just in case someone is watching. Fans who won’t
go to R-rated movies at the theater, but have a number of them saved on
their DVR at home. Fans who may feed the hungry and help the needy, and
then they make sure they work it into every conversation for the next
two weeks. Fans who make sure people see them put in their offering at
church, but they haven’t considered reaching out to their neighbor who
lost a job and can’t pay the bills. Fans who like seeing other people
fail because in their minds it makes them look better. Fans whose
primary concern in raising their children is what other people think.
Fans who are reading this and assuming I’m describing someone else. Fans
who have worn the mask for so long they have fooled even themselves.”
