{"quotes":[{"text":"In the modern Christian attempt to take a stand as Christ did, and maybe for others, win the approval of the world, the Christian will often think that it consists of targeting and demoralizing fellow Christians and only fellow Christians.

The irony is that by doing this we are further advocating hypocrisy and 'half-hearted Christians'.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","christ","christian","christianity","demoralize","envy","genuine","heart","hypocrisy","judgmental","love","modern","moral","passion","progressive","religion","scrutiny","sincere","spiritual","take-a-stand","world"],"id":68028,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Stand up for your conscience.
