Is God present in your church? What about in your home? Do you take Him to work or school with you? I don’t know a lot about psychology, but I know enough to know that most of the people walking around telling everyone how important they are have issues with their self-esteem. Christians are often no different. We may look tough on the outside, but inside we’re all trying to keep secrets from God and from the people around us. We’re born sinners! Why are any of us surprised at what goes on inside our minds when we’re not careful? What SHOULD happen, however, is that as followers of Jesus Christ we ought to be firm enough in our “God-esteem” to speak the truth to those around us. No more mincing words and pretending we don’t know Him. No more hiding secret sins! No more pretending we’re not worthy when we know that Jesus died to give us power to serve Him! Authentic, genuine, real, earth shattering and world-changing Christianity is simple at its core. It means getting real with God and then getting out of the way so He can use us to change a dying world.
“But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, ‘God is really among you!'” 1 Corinthians 14:24-25
