HIDING YOUR SINS CAN BE THE FASTEST WAY TO BECOME A CHURCH LEADER
This is a sad truth about churches today. Everyone would say that church is the place where you should feel the grace of God. You shouldn't be afraid to admit your struggles, because everyone there knows that we all struggle. But unfortnately, the people we thrust on a pedestal and put in leadership positions are those who are best at appearing like they have no struggles. If you really want to break it down, you could say that the those who are best at deceiving are given the microphone and expected to lead. We all need to be transparent. We all need to be honest about our struggles. Of course there is a need for some discretion, but not deception. When we admit we are weak, then God can be glorified through our victories over these areas of weakness.

I have discovered that it is difficult to be honest even in a small group. We expect Christian love nad understanding - even support. Sometimes we get it. Usually, we get judged. I now reserve my innermost struggles for my pastor and my accountability partner. I praise God for giving me such an awesome Christian Brother to help me be accountable, and I pray that if ever I am asked to be an accountability partner to someone, that I reflect Christ so well.
