In a spiritual world of quick fixes and vague emotion, is it crazy to believe there is still a place for insights based on simple, basic, theological understanding. I believe it is worth exploring.

Old Erich Proverb - Mask
If you cannot learn to lay aside your mask at the church door when you come to worship God, where will you lay aside your mask?
I think it is because we have cultivated a culture of performance rather than grace. So rather than looking to help hurting people and admitting we need that help, we try to convince others we have it all together and they should too.
An interesting question Mike. Why do you think that church is probably the last place a person takes their mask off?

DeleteI so agree with you Mike. Even our grace gifts are sometimes an opportunity to out perform each other.
