It's Judo!

-

Transparency is a judo move.

Ever notice that people stop making fun of people who laugh at themselves?

It's judo.

Ever notice that people stop criticizing people who admit their failures?

It's judo.

Ever notice that people believe people who admit their doubts?

It's judo.

    Enjoy reading what Mark Batterson has to say.

    'Jesus was holy, but he wasn't holier than thou'

    'Churches need transparency - the enemy loves it when we keep secrets'

    Churches love to sweep secrets under the rug. Unfortunately, the rug becomes so lumpy no one can walk on it.

    What is this rug you are talking about nobody ask me about purchasing a rug? Who decided the color scheme? :)

    I had a really bad teacher once and I have decided now that all teachers and colleges are the same.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
