The next principle that is so very detrimental in our
Christianity is sincerity. Sincerity of heart is something a lot of Christians
don’t have, and, admittedly, my familiarity of Christianity seems to chafe off
my sincerity and replaces it with obligation. When you worship with music, is
it simply words on the page you are singing? Is your Bible time just another
check to complete on your task list? Where is the sincerity? One second we bow
before Christ saying we are the dust of the earth and but a worm of filth, and
the next we are broken because nobody likes us and we ever strive for this to
be true. We tell Christ “we surrender all” and we still horde corners of our
hearts for our own individual lusts and fulfilments. This is not sincerity;
this is trying to please God and man as well as yourself. Do you sincerely
spend time with God, or is God just something you use to impress others? Do you
worship Christ with your doors closed as an act of worship between you and him,
or do you do it in a flaunting obnoxious manner to impress those around you
with your “sincerity” or as I say, “sincere insincerity?” Our familiarity with
Christ sometimes leaves us with insincere hearts, and insincerity accomplishes
most nothing for God’s work on earth.
