What Are You Afraid To Say At Church?

Posted by Chris Case | May 20, 2008 .

Anne Jackson recently posted a question “What is something you feel you can’t say in church, or around other Christians?” Its amazing to see the responses, which are at 133 and growing. Some are just dead on that a lot of us sometimes struggle with, like “I’d rather look like a good christian than put in the time and effort to actually be one,” or “Sometimes I wonder if this whole Christianity thing is a lie.” Then there’s always the odd ones like, “When I’m leading worship, I sometimes think of all 31 flavors of ice cream at Baskin Robbins.” Great question to ask, Anne. Thanks for the link, David.

Its really amazing to me the amount of stuff you can’t really talk about amongst Christians, particularly in the context of churches.  Its like a hospital where you can’t tell the doctor what’s actually wrong with you.  You’ve got some ear infection, but all you can say is, “I’m sick” and that’s it.  And don’t get me wrong, I’m not entirely throwing out church discipline, since there is a biblical presidence  for it, but when do we allow sinners to be sinners in need of a savior.

So, Reformergent readers, what is something you feel you can’t say in church?
