secrets

People like to hide their faults. Secret sins are all too common. This prideful, protective reaction is natural. Who wants the world to know that we struggle with forbidden desires, particularly sexual ones? But Christians are called to be spiritual. Our churches should be hospitals for the hurting, places of healing and restoration. Light heals. A jaundiced baby needs to be exposed to intense bright light to become healthy. Sunshine feeds God’s green earth through photosynthesis. Secrecy is counterproductive.
