"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. "
-Matthew 24: 12 (NKJV)

Why are so many of us hiding? Hiding behind a veil, a personality? Pretending to be someone they are not. Guys, lets not just try to be so dignified and gentlemanly. Thats just so fake. Be who God intended you to be. If we're made in the image of God and God is called the Lion of Judah, why are we acting like rabbits? Time and time again through the bible, God leads His people into battle. He isn't a weak God. He fights for His people. Jesus doesn't try to run away from the pharisees. Instead, He goes up to them and picks a fight. In the darkness of the night when Judas led the soldiers to arrest Jesus, Jesus confronted them boldly instead of escaping. It was the soldiers who were afraid of the people in the first place as they arrested Jesus in the night instead of the day.

Lets not be people who hide due to fear but lets be real people. Real people in fellowship, real people in church, real people who love cos of a genuine heart instead of an obligation to do so.
No love? Ask God. It's a fruit of the Spirit.

If things are going bad, share it. Lets not try to pretend life is rosy by saying it's good. Life may not be good but God is good. If your best friend gets injured in a car crash, you failed all your papers, your house collaspes and if you still say life is good to you, in my opinion you're either a liar or crazy.
Be who you really are, not who you want people to see you as. Don't be like Adam who hid from God because he was afraid. Be bold. He made you like that for a purpose, not for you to put on a mask. Guys c'mon, pick up a knife and slash some devils in the face.

"I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid"
-Genesis 3:10

"A life lived in fear is no life at all"
-Braveheart

"The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives."
-Albert Schweitzer

"The spiritual life cannot be made suburban. It is always frontier, and we who live in it must accept and even rejoice that it remains untamed."
-Howard Macey

"Lets get out of our comfort zones and stop pretending to be nice people because we're called to be more than that."
