The Work of the People have some good stuff on their site. Check out this one from yesterday:

Perhaps the quote that stood out the most to me was this:

Most of the churches and religious things I’ve been to was not about sharing my “stuff” with, it was really about making sure my “stuff” was presentable enough.

Considering the quote (or paraphrase) from Bonheoffer he made shortly after the above statement, would we really “freak out” if “real sinners” came to our churches? Or, if all of us who are already there were to open up? Do we make “real sinners” – at least the ones who don’t have the standard church-goer facade – feel welcome, loved and part of a family, or do we make them feel that they need to keep their “unpresentable” sin to themselves?

    Great stuff. I just found out that the church they did the interviews at (Mercy Street) is here in Houston. Maybe I’ll go check them out.
