 If Jesus apeared in full glory with a dazzling robe of a trillion colors and glory brighter than a billion suns looking like solid diamonds, of course we wouldn't have anymore unbelievers on the planet. But he has chosen to reveal himself in a different way: By using people who love him called Saints, modern day Christians. Unfortunately, most Christians have a Ph.d in "professing" because they're undercover agents. You may ask, "What's that and how do you know?" It's just a term that I coined ten years ago just after I came out of hiding. It's a Christian by lip service only, one who runs from the bible and all that is pure like Mike Tyson out of a marriage counseling session. I was ashamed of the gospel, a coward full of pride and sin. I never could stand for anything, so I practically fell for everything, afraid of what everyone would think if I got too religious. I was always more then happy to put on my glad rags and go to church, but don't ask me to get involved or become a member because that implied accountability--I remember thinking, Oh, wait, stop the train! Nope-not the kid, not me, nope, nuh-uhh. And surely don't bring up God and the bible, that was a conversation stopper. If you brought up God in the workplace, I was a hundred miles and runnin' with my black trench coat and brown Shirlock Holmes hat, blowing in the wind. I was too busy being cool for the ladies, fornicating, cussing, lying, etc. After 27 years of undercover work, you'd be able to spot a fake Christian too. It's called judging and discerning someone by the fruits of their lifestyle and contrary to popular belief, condoned in the Good Book in several passages as long as we do it in the vein of love and not just being critical. During those past years mostly everyone around me also claimed God, church and the straight and narrow pretty-path of light, but on the weekdays and evenings they were walking the broad road filled with the filth of pig-pins and mire muck. Most undercover Christians don't even know their undercover, but young eyes are always watching. Young eyes are created because of sexual sin. They wear it like a badge of honor, thinking it's part of the job description like the young man the pastor was talking to one day after church. "Son, we need you to join the army of the LORD," the pastor said. He responded, " I'm already in the army of the LORD, Pastor." The Pastor questioned, "How come we only see you in here on Christmas and Easters?" The young man winked, as he leaned over and whispered, "Cause I'm in the secret service." The world wouldn't run from God calling us a bunch of hypocrites if real Christians would rise up and stand for holiness and righteousness. So quit ducking around corners and take off those silly trenchcoats, hats, and sunglasses and let your lights so shine among men, that they would be able see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven, I did! Boom-shocka-locka, I said it. Be sure and tune in next time for the Undercover Christian part 2 "A Fight in the Mirror."
