In this chapter we learn of the authors fear of others looking at him at "the Christian." He feels this way because if he were to do something that wasn't seen as Christian people would say that he is hypocritical and he isn't follows the Lord like he was supposed to. Like he says one thing and does anyother thing and that's scary.
This would scare me too, no one wants to be judged based on their beliefs. Everyone is going to sin and make mistakes in their lives... That doesn't make us hypocrites though. This will make us question wheater or not we are good enough to lead other people in worship. My personal feelings about this is... I had a hard time believing I was good enough to be seen by God or have him actually forgive me.. But I know better now, God sees me as his son and I am able to lead others because of that.
