I was reading Jeremiah and I had one of those times when a passage reaches out of the pages and smacks you in the head. The verse is Jeremiah 2:11.

Has a nation changed its gods, even though they are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit?

He is saying that other nations that worship their false gods do not change their dedication to their gods, but Israel had a problem with always forsaking the one true God for false gods. It stood out to me because I see the same thing today. When I think of religions whose people are known for being completely zealous in their beliefs, I don't think of Christians. We are as guilty as the Israelites for being fickle with the one, true God. The world sees it too.

I am as guilty of this as the next Christian. Why is it a struggle to be the representative of Christ to the world? We are always battling our own pride I suppose.
