Steve gave a great sermon yesterday on the fact that we're more similar than different with lost people. We're all broken. That was one of his 2 points. Obviously he expounded on it but that was the point. The other was that we can't afford to let people think we're perfect and doing so does a dis-service to those who are seeking Christ. We need to share our struggles and the hope we have to get through them. Nobody will be drawn to a church or to Christ if they think they don't belong because we're all perfect--which is a facade by the way.
I hope to have it downloaded to the website soon. I have to wait for the tech guy to do whatever it is he does to make it ready.
But what does all that have to do with the title of the post? Yesterday a 4-year-old boy exclaimed, "hey, it smells like a church in here!" He then went over to a wall in the foyer and said "that smells like a wall!" Steve asked him what he thought it should smell like but he wasn't interested in taking questions so it was left just like that. It made perfect sense to him and I guess that's all he was interested in.
That's one of the great things about kids. They haven't learned to be fake, they don't tell us what they think we want to hear, and they're perfectly fine being who they are, warts and all. I believe that's why Jesus said you have to become like a small child to enter the kingdom of God. He's not interested in appearances either. It's all about being real and true.
