Is the Church of the Living God full of Hypocrites?

Something that is rolling around in my mind today: "Many are called, but few are chosen." I have found in my life that many people say one thing and do another. Many people quickly make commitments, and just as quickly break those commitments. I have seen in my lifetime many who have good intentions and terrible follow through. I see a generation of people who want the title without the responsibility. Sometimes in order to inherit the best things in life, you must be tried with the fire to see if what you think you are doing for God is really for God. Often times you will discover that the life you live is more for your selfish benefit, than for the benefit of God or other people. It's easy for people to criticize what others do, however, they wouldn't last one day in their shoes. I see a generation of people who desperately need to be enlightened to what this life is all about. However, I see so many so called "Christians" being distracted by religion that they miss the point of why Jesus came. There is a lack of burden and desire for the people around them to become followers of Jesus. People work, eat, sleep, watch movies, seek entertainment, hunt, fish, go shopping, all for what purpose? To please themselves. I hear a lot of people complain about other Christians instead of encouraging each other. If Jesus is the hope of the world, (and He is) then how come we don't spend more of our time introducing others to who He is? We must not truly believe He is the hope of the world...
