Why are some Christians behaving worse than non-Christians?
question because we do not really know the context of what they are saying. Generally, it’s not appropriate to criticize other Christians whom we do not know because there are always two sides to a story. It might be good to generalize this discussion by looking at the issue of stages of growth and maturity in Christ. We can begin by saying that Christians are at different levels of growth & maturity; it is not determined by how long they have been Christians but by how open they are to the ministry of the Spirit and the Word in transforming their lives. The greater our surrender to Christ in all areas of our lives, the deeper the transformation and character change. The Bible compares character transformation to fruit-bearing (Galatians 5:22-23) and it takes time for fruit to grow.
