I think the lack of transparency among leaders is because to day we actually teach the leaven of the pharisee. I believe until we move away from the leader construct we have today and recognize that Christ is the head of every man, which makes us all the same. We will not have transparency in the thing that we have called “the church”.

Carlton, it will be difficult but possible. If Church leaders teach and model vulnerability and transparency then members begin to realize that the Church is made up of
broken people struggling to find progressive wholeness and stability. Testimony services too should allow for reports of victory but also for reports of struggles and even of defeats. Such a climate will prompt a growing move to covenanting in deep prayer for the real people in our midst who have spiritual needs.

Thanks for pointing me to this article. I salute the truth of the article and wonder how we can move to compassion without people feel we are compromising. The long history of the church of condemnation/compromise has done serious damage and have not allowed sinners to be delievered from serious struggles.

Dnash, your sentiments are appreciated. Unfortunately, we as Christians are at times so accustomed to the extremes of condemnation and compromise that we forget the middle road of compassion.

“Those who claim they have nothing to confess, even to God, concerning sexual temptation or sin should consider confessing the sin of lying.”, that made me chuckle, because it’s so true. Sometimes we act “holier than thou” when we (Christians and others) see other peoples secret sins come to light, as if we do not get caught in the same web at times. Unfortunately many of us think we are “Good” but the Bible declares otherwise. Thanks for the post – very good.
