Honesty is hard to find in the Church. Honesty is hard to find in people. Honesty is even harder to find within ourselves. Over the past 3 days I have encountered numerous discussions on this topic among worship leaders. It seems that there is a fear within and outside the Church of being honest. We are not only afraid to admit truth, but even more so, how to confront what is false and speak the truth. Being free is not without its price. Where truth is found lies in the arms of freedom, in which this cost Christ everything. If we can muster up any honesty it is found in the freedom of Christ as he gives us strength to be true. So what keeps us from being honest? Hurt. Pain from rejection, brokenness, loss, grief and the like covered over years and decades can mar and impair our deep emotions. Damage prevents us from trusting others, ourselves and God. There is more pain in the Church than what surfaces on Sunday morning or in a Bible study. How do we cope? How are we to be honest with ourselves before we can help others? It begins with Christ healing us from the inside out. Dennis Jernigan addresses this concern in this clip. May his words stir your heart to crave Christ's healing and freedom right where you sit.
