Five reasons to ditch the church face
June 8, 2010 by Ben Griffin
church face: (n.) the false persona one puts on while in the presence of a church or a clergy who serves said church.
5 reasons to ditch the church face:
1) The only one you’re fooling is yourself. Do you really think that when you tell the pastor what a great message he spoke that he didn’t notice you sleeping through it. Or that the God who made everything doesn’t know the real you?
2) If church face is part of your church’s expected dress code, then it’s time to get a new church.
3) Church should be the place where we are the most honest not the most guarded.
4) The very thing that you are hiding is likely the very reason that you most need other people to walk with you.
5) Our best witness to the world is not a pretense that we’re perfect but an honest confession that we’re not.
