Just Be Yourself

There are a number of good reasons people no longer attend church. They are bored or burned. They do not see any relevance or anything that is of interest to them where they are. You have your reason. But in most cases, people abandon the church but not their faith. That is what we are about.
We want to engage people in the life long search for their spiritual self. Here at New Work Church, we are interested in connecting people back to the church that connects them back to their faith. Faith is important to everyone. I have faith that I can get up from the chair and walk to the other room. I have faith that my decisions today will all be good ones. Something like the person who prays to God and thanks Him for the day. They say, "Thank you God for today, it is an amazing day and you have helped me. So far today I have not made one mistake and it feels wonderful. But, in a few minutes I will get out of bed and start doing something. Help me to make fewer mistakes today."
What does it take to work out faith in a faithless society. I think the major dimension is to be our authentic self. Too many "christians" put on a front and pretend to be holy or spiritual or religious. Sorry, these are the people that turn us away. We say, "they are phoney" or "I can't live up to that ideal".
Truth is, we don't. All that we need to do is be ourselves. God has already met the real me and He likes it. So should you.
