Double Edged vs. Double Standards

Wikepedia, the free encyclopedia, gave me a pretty interesting definition of what a double standard means..

"A double standard is the unjust application of different sets of principles in similar situations."

When was the last time you compromised your faith to be able to enjoy something that you know isn't for you?

"It depends" isn't always the right answer to a question.. And it definitely isn't always up to the situation itself to deem itself right or wrong.. When was the last time you said something is right or wrong because you know it is and not because you think it was what the situation called for? "It depends" is a sign of double standards.

So.. Are you a double standard Christian? Have you been justifying your actions just because you think you are ahead of others in your race? Have you been compromising your faith or your values for the fear of being rejected? Or to actually fit in? Have you been unfaithful to your service for God and your Christian walk, living everyday with your fire unlit or burnt out but have not considered yourself a backslidder just because you arent "indulging in the ways of the world"?

You frown upon people who don't go to church.. But when you yourself skip church because you have something important waiting to be accomplished, you think your absence for church is justifiable..

Why have [some] Christians become a double standards Christian?

What makes you think that your sins are justifiable? What makes you think that your actions are okay while for the others it is not?

When was the last the you were a doubled-edged sword kind of Christian? When was the last time you cut through situations? When was the last time you made an impact and someone else's life so deep that it changed his life?
