Beautifully Authentic

28 07 2008

Today, I heard a raw, honest approach to God that I’ve got to believe He craves more of in the Church. Do yourself a favor and listen to at least the last half of this message - http://www.northpointministries.org/player/player.jsp?occurrenceID=3109

This is Louie Giglio finishing his 2nd half of the series “Home Free, Even Me”. He was with us a few months ago with part of the story he wrapped up today. I thought that series, “Hope: When Life Hurts Most”, was one of the best I’d heard in a long time. Both messages brought a sense of raw, still-in-process authenticity that the Church desperately needs. So many people stay away because everything in the Church world is either stories of old with no attempt to tie application to the present or a pretty little story with a bow on it at the end, and life just doesn’t look like for most people.

So, how raw and authentic? There were even some spelled out cuss words and implied “f-bombs”. Oh ya! I thought that might intrigue you! (Hint, it wasn’t done in a way to glorify the language.) Give it a listen: http://www.northpointministries.org/player/player.jsp?occurrenceID=3109
