I'm reading a book right now by Craig Groeschel, it is called "Confessions of a Pastor". I'm enjoying the book and the breath of fresh air that comes from a pastor just being "real" and dropping the mask. I can identify with many of the chapters/confessions that Craig lists:
I can't stand a lot of Christians
I have to work hard to stay sexually pure
Most of the time I feel incredibly lonely
I hate prayer meetings
I worry almost all the time
Sometimes I doubt God
I feel completely inadequate
I stink at handling criticism
I'm afraid of failure.
I thought I'd share with you a few added confessions of my own:
Sometimes I don't like being around people
The "super religious" drive me nuts
I often wish I were smarter
How about you? What would you add to Craig's list of confessions? Be sure to leave a comment.
Sometimes I have problems praying.
ReplyDeleteBeing a people person sometimes I hate being around people.
Sometimes I let accountability get in the way of my vision.
I totally relate to a lot of those on both lists! This is confessions by Kimberly thanks for reading!! ;0) By the way... good husband for taking Tammy to Panera and I must say Shelby's enthusiasm is contagious. I think you should know that a lot of volunteers are excited about helping make Sunday services great because we have a pastor who is great and doesn't wear the Christian mask and hide who he really is. It's easy to work for likeable, comfortable, real people. Thank you for making church a real place where people are accepted for who they are and can truly worship the way they want!
Kimberly,
