One day while walking through an old overgrown citrus grove I happened upon a lemon tree. It had large beautiful ripe lemons just right for pie. I picked the best the tree had to offer and was eager to get home but before I left I decided to cut one open for a taste. I opened my knife and split one in half only to find that there was no meat only rind to the core. Unfortunately it is the same with many Christians in the church today. They look, talk, and act like Christians but their facade runs to the core and they have no real meat. In the end their Christianity is appearance only and not in the heart.
