Truefaced

God designed release of influence this way on purpose, because immature people have an incredibly negative impact on those they influence. When we don a mask:
  • They too must live a two-faced life
  • They too must present an idealized person
  • They too must hide what is true about them
  • New Life in Christ doesn't really work
  • They will remain stuck in their unresolved life issues
  • It is better to be unknown than to risk rejection
  • Self protection is their only hope

As I have been reading Chapter one, I have been increasing convinced of who I am and what my Mask is. There is a huge link between mask wearing and unconfessed sin. The fact of the matter is that mask wearing is almost a refusal to recognize who we are in Christ. We want to place a higher emphasis on other people opinions, thinking they have it all together.

Oh, Sunday night most of us loved the New Testament Gamble. I found the link : The Gamble
