Reality TV like 'The Bachelor'and Popular Novels like 'The Hunger Games' - what do these have in common? It has become normal to act differently on the outside than we are on the inside. We have been trained by our culture to do this and to expect it from others.
As it pertains to our spiritual lives this can be most dangerous. It can break down the walls of trust between brothers and sisters in Christ. It can certainly hinder our relationship to our God. We can even fall into the trap of believing our Savior might also be this way - after all - everyone else is...
Rather than putting on an act, what if we simply acted in Faith? That is the clear command in scripture. It is this Faith that makes it possible to please God. What if, when a person looked at you they saw you and took you completely at face value? Rather than wondering what you were really about they could choose to believe what they see because you have a track record of not putting on. I am challenged to do this. You?
