Superficiality occurs when what’s on the outside contradicts what’s on the inside. Another word for this might be hypocrisy.
Hello, I’m Clifton LeJeune, pastor of the Jesus Worship Center in Jennings, and this week we are going to talk about living for God from the ‘Inside Out’.
When someone has a virus, they are not required to take a course labeled ‘throw up 101'. I know it sounds gross but it makes the point quite clearly . . . if it is in there, it’s coming out!
Christians don’t need more bumper stickers, tattoos, or crosses hung around their necks. What Christianity needs is a good old baptism of ‘Inside Out’.
In Psalms, David said, Psa 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts.
Truth contained in the inward parts will be manifest on the outward parts. When our walk matches our talk, true Christianity is on display. You’ve heard it said, “practice what you preach.” What if we were to reverse this . . . what if we were allowed only to ‘preach what we practiced?!’
What would we preach?
What could we preach?
Living ‘inside out’ is exactly what Jesus did.The damage done by Superficial Christianity is deeper and more and does more harm than outright Hinduism and atheism.The Church’s biggest enemy is not satan, is not Hollywood, the media, MTV, or Celebrity worship.
The Church’s biggest enemy is Superficial Christianity . . . which is simply Christianity that is only Skin-Deep!
Is your Christianity bone-deep?
To know something ‘inside out’ is to know it completely, thoroughly.
Do you know God . . . or do you simply know about God?
To truly know Him, you must know what makes Him tick AND what ticks Him off! Nothing offended Christ more than religious people who were one thing on the outside while being another on the inside!
Let’s serve Him in deepest sincerity . . . inside out!

Great post, Pastor! Keep up the great work!
Believe this location should be the appropriate location to write this... I only wanted to inform everybody using the forum who lives in Oz know about a tremendous high-end audio visual equipment internet site known as Ordio. I noticed them quite by mistake when I was scouring the web for [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Sennheiser Earphones[/url] and it just so happened that these people had the cheapest prices in the market. Not only that but they are tremendously helpful and even followed up on my expenditure to verify I was still happy. They buy out sizable inventories of audio visual equipment so that they can genuinely break the price down. Absolutely stop by their site if you're scouting for some home electronics.

those words couldn't be any more true. I often question the way I live and what I let become acceptable.I want to be truely living as a testimony to His greatness. How to get there is a constant battle,but a battle I intend to take head on daily. I love your ministry and miss it with a passion. I always feel like the message applies specifically for me. I feel more connected and loved by the congregation than some of my own family. It is definately living up to the name. We worship there. It took me a while and at times I find myself mechanically doing what I see others doing but the fact that I've grown some encourages me to get out of my comfort zone and praise him wherever whenever. Thank you soo much you don't know how just seeing the joy exuded from you gives credence to something I've come to know without a doubt God is here and loves us he's the hugger and this is a marothon not a race! Bless you and your family congrats to Eden Beautiful picture by the way keep up the good work!

Phase ThreeThe early stages of dimpling start to be apparent
on the skin. cellulite vacuum cannot be eliminated by exercising or even a
strict diet plan. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling.
Eat WellIt is usually said that the skin and makes the area smoother.
That said, by improving those things and stripping them of their" comfortable"
habitat, you're slowly forcing them to breakup, detach from the skin.
