We are called to connect with people to win them, we are not supposed to stick our heads in the sand to escape reality but to embrace the "God reality" that Jesus offers.
So here is some painful reality......
What causes more problems than most, when the act of fake face that we have been putting on for one another is stripped away by being close for long periods of time.
So the very act of relationship and being family/church reveals the true “us”. And some times that is not the “us” we want showing.
So brother So and So lets down his guard and shows the family/congregation that he is not perfect and that he has faults and the congregation recoils with horror.
That does not breed an atmosphere for openness, vulnerability and change.
I am far from perfect, ask my wife she will tell you, but who wants to be perfect, the one person who fit the job description was nailed to a cross. Sign me up? I don’t think so. I don't want to be perfect, I would like to make it to the end of the week without self destructing, that’s a good start....right?
