Sheep In Wolf’s Clothing

Unless you discipline yourself in the above lifestyle, you are just a sheep in wolf’s clothing for the unbeliever, professing one thing but actually doing something else.

Christians Double Life

Many Christians live a double life. In one life, they profess the above and talk the talk BUT in their other life, the life that unbelievers as well as other Christians see, they actually live for themselves and make choices that will enhance themselves or other people or things.  This is why so many Christians are ugly to the unbeliever.
