Get Real

Real people are real complicated. So much of our interaction with people in and out of the church is superficial. We are certainly guilty of defining others with simple adjectives and allowing that to guide our relationships. In order to get to know others as real, complicated people, we must let down our guards, open our homes and lives, and live life together, in the good, bad and ugly. Refrigerator rights are what it takes, getting to a place where we hang out and share existence, rather than just crossing paths in the foyer and singing together in the choir.
