holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.Much of the list preceding this verse gets repeated over and over, but this is one that we don't get reminded of much. Our culture is so saturated with pieces of Christianity, that anyone can learn the language and customs if they want to. Many are raised this way, but never truly come to know Christ themselves.
These people live their lives going through the motions, but never really believing it. They may believe God can, but aren't so sure that He does, at least not as often as some claim. I know this, because I worry frequently that I may be one of these, because I see how different my expression of faith is from those around me, and I know full well how badly I've messed my life up and have nowhere to turn.
