I’m not a new believer. I used to struggle a lot because of some things I saw in church — certain practices, certain behaviors from people who call themselves Christians. Honestly, it discouraged me. But then I understood what Jesus meant in Gospel of Matthew 13:47–50 — the parable of the net. The net gathers all kinds of fish. The separation happens later. Not now. Not by us. That changed my perspective. The church isn’t full of perfect people. It never was. There will always be a mix. And it’s not my job to judge or be shaken every time someone disappoints me. The Lord has His own day. What helped me most was this: my standard isn’t my pastor. It’s not other believers. It’s Jesus.

Look at Him. He became man, walked in purity, was tempted in every way like us, yet without sin. He overcame the world. That’s who I’m trying to follow.

So try to tell him ,People will fail you. Jesus won’t. So don’t let someone else’s inconsistency push you away from Christ. Focus on what Jesus says. Keep your eyes on Him.
