Some may say or think "OH HUM_BUG", but then really? Christians organizations may be more guilty of this than they are willing to admit----Then as a Christian is God pleased with our actions? Several days ago I had an incidence occur in my circle of life and ever since this passage of Scripture has haunted me, I mean really haunted me--- As Christians we all come up short, that s why God offers forgiveness, however, and maybe I am wrong, but I hold the Christian institutions to a higher standard than the folks sitting in the congregation. If no one in this world ever practices what they preach-- the Christian Institutions should stand firm on the Word of God and not waiver. Hypocrisy runs right along with Coveting....God Bless

James 2:1-8
New King James Version
Beware of Personal Favoritism

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well;
