Intro - Don't just talk the talk but walk the walk. This was said of those who talk like a Christian but seldom live like one.

II. Some say they are Christians but don't live a Christian life.
A. They refuse to do anything that might make life difficult for themselves. Jn.12:42
B. More worried about living life here than winning others for Christ. Lk.12:4-5, Ps.118:6
C. Their "glory is their shame" big is not always better. Many churches are big because they are not preaching and teaching the "whole" counsel of God. Acts 20:20, 27 Jer.8:11, Matt.7:21-24
