Prompt 26: May 1, 2023
Over the last few months, I’ve been joining the prayer team at my church. The following message came in a prayer request card a few weeks ago. I hope you will join in praying over this lament for my fellow congregant and any similar doubts in your own churches.

The Church is a place for perfect people.
Church is a place for fronts.
Church is a place for masks.
Church is a place for imperfect people to pretend like they are perfect in front of other imperfect people, all while imposing a false and double standard of perfection on the world.
When did the Church become the opposite of Jesus?
The thread is open. Create boldly, and may the Spirit guide us all
