The "Fakeness" Of The Church

ehi have always hated this and its always been in the church that we all go to but i thought i might as well lay it out here now. why is almost every single person in that church so fake.. they never show their true feelings they always just show themselves being happy. as drew has said before, if there was any a place to show how we really are feeling, church would be it, because its supposed to be the place that you turn to when you are hurt so people can pray for you and encourage you or do whatever needs to be done. but it seems that at our church these people just put on their happy masks and never shows anything different. my brother is a prime example,  he wa sall made one day when he was driving us to church [when he had a permit] and my mom was yelling and fussing at him, and he was being rude, so he was mad going into church, happy in the church, and got mad again outside those doors. my mom asked why the sudden mood changed and his words exactly were "we are back in the real world"..
-for me, i dont give a flying pig if you want me to be happy, if im not in a good mood, im going to show it, im not going to be anybody that you want me to be, im going to be me. i think that if the church actually started to do this we would find out that not alot of people in that church are who they really are. friends say that you should put a smile on your face but when your down you should be able to show it and not be fussed at for it.
-the church should be able to show their true character and be vulnerable to other people so that they can actually helpl you and care for you the way that the church was intended to be.

  1. Awesome post...very well said. I couldn't agree more. We're trying to convince people of something real (Jesus Christ), but trying to invite them to someplace that's anything but real (church). Extremely frustrating.

  2. "Theway church was intended to be" So true. It is a wonderful thing to find this. Honestly, I find this online quite a bit. Not as much in the real world. But you can't change things if you aren't a part of them. So I go and try to be real and hope others will follow. Kudos to you for being real.
