oops, i broke it
These two articles rhyme a little with my last post or at least echo some of my frustrations living in a different culture and how that can easily bring out the worst in you.
Brokenness as a bridge
Attentive to Brokennes
We had an interesting discussion in homegroup this week about how a lot of churches in the west (and probably here in Kenya too) are more about performance and good behaviour than about having honest hearts that are desperate for God and His Kingdom. Christians should be seen to be good people, you need to show that you believe in Jesus by stopping all your sin. How the heck are you meant to do that?
I like that these two articles recognise our brokenness, they do not celebrate sin but see the connections that can be made between people when we share our broken parts and the areas that need some work rather than hide them.
