There is a culture in the Body of Christ that is well intentioned, but misses the mark. We have heard the Expression "I'm just Real" or some variation of this, and there seems to be a common underlying problem with this.This is usually code for "I will serve God with any area of my life... except the parts that are hard to change or sin that I honestly enjoy". We have all been there! However, saying I'm just Real, and not choosing to surrender every aspect of our lives to Jesus, is drastically different than being Authentic and admitting your struggles, but then striving to model Jesus and letting Him truly make you a new creation, which is what He promises for all of us! Be Authentic, not just Real. Enjoy!
