I believe is that so many people may still have unresolved thoughts or behaviors that are still happening in their lives. In a church building they feel that maybe the pastor etc.. is looking at them and perhaps in their own mind feels, "he knows" and then they feel guilty. When in reality that pastor is no different then the flock that comes to listen. I have known Christians that are still heavily involved in adultrey, drugs, drinking, etc...and yet they Love Jesus, but still struggle with these behaviors. I think "The Body of Christ are the People not necessarily a building". My Christian Life today is not about going to church although I think that is wonderful. It's about being authentic and real and speaking to God with everything I may struggle with. Accepting his unconditional love as the The quotes from the bible. "I am the Apple of his Eye", "I am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made", "I am his Treasured Posession". Being in agreement with what he says about us. It has nothing to do with us but everything to do about him. It is a Transformation of old ways of thinking and patterns to a renewal of the mind daily. Being a Christian is not phony, but real, not being one way in a church, but then treating strangers poorly or yelling at the kids or wife. It's continually yielding and surrending to the Holy Spirit within us, and letting him to the work. It's about being aware of how you treat people who are not very nice. Being aware of what we are thinking and having the power to cast down destructive thoughts if we choose. I could go on and on. But thank you for the opportunity to express myself. Love, Laura.
