Christianity a religion of weakness

Asian culture is a culture of strength and best foot forward

I want to see a counter culture of vulnerability where people can be real with their weaknesses with one another

"Confess your sins to one another that you may be healed” I’ve somehow never seen that happen in church before. Ever.

Is it because we never sin? Who are we kidding? Who are we lying to?

Why are keeping face, is maintaining an appearance more important than our obedience to Gods word?

Maybe we are not healed because we do not obey.

Sin finds its power in the cover up, and the darkness only breeds it.

Only when we become vulnerable with one another about our weaknesses confessing to God and before man that Gods light removes that basis for sin to hide in our souls.

It is people who understand grace, who act in grace and appropriate God’s grace to the soul who sins that cause people to be healed.

Maybe we do not obey because Gods people do not realize and are open with the truth - which is that  we all only stand by Gods grace. And His grace gets the glory when we become real with our weaknesses.

Christianity is a religion of weakness, where our weaknesses, frailties, and sinfulness take on the strength of God, the righteousness of God, the power of God revealed through our failures. It is when we accept and acknowledge before God our weaknesses that God empowers us supernaturally.

But our culture is one, which does not tolerate failure.

For it is in our vulnerability that Gods power and the grace of God is truly glorified.

In our moral poverty that Gods riches of grace is glorified. Blessed are the poor in spirit. So then why is everyone shying away from the blessedness, which is our weakness, which draws God’s glory?

For what is it that keeps us from sin? Is it not only the grace of God? Is it not the grace of God exclusively? if we act as if we are holy by our own strength and flawless are we not glorifying the false God of man’s strength?

Who is it that gets the glory when sinful men are open and real and yet God is the one supplying the power for a holy walk?

It is our arrogance and hypocrisy that leads us to behave like we never fail when we are indeed flawed and sinful people. And Gods people need leaders who model humility and reality of life so that people can know for themselves the authentic and mighty grace of God Himself.





Is there anyone who stands except by Gods grace and mercy? there isn’t a soul on Gods green earth who isn’t holy except by the grace of God.
