What is the key? Transparent lives. Let’s stop faking some level of spirituality that others expect from us that is neither authentic in us nor them. God cannot change a life that does not approach him in honesty. Honesty is the key to all as the starting point.
 
NEWS FLASH… We are all hypocrites!
The only question is, “Are you a hypocrite who is willing to admit the truth about yourself, or are you one who is hiding things – one who fakes it?” If you are dishonest, you are only hiding to two people – yourself and other church people – both of whom have learned how to look the other way apart from reality.
 
Those who are outside of the Church see unvarnished reality. They pick up on life as it actually is and simply shake their heads for all “Church ostriches” with their heads beneath the sand of realism.

More coming…
