October is National Coming Out Month. Isn't that exciting? No? Oh come on, really? You know, it's not just a gay thing right? Think about it. When you were called to Christ by the power of the Gospel before witnesses, did you not come out of the world of sin and into the glorious light of our Lord and Savior?
Yes, I'm thinking that we all need to come out. We need to bring transparency to our lives before each other as believers and before the world. We have to show the world what Jesus saved us from and we need accountability with Him and each other to ensure that we do not go back into sin's closet.
Sin is the big closet my friends. It can keep us locked up for so long that we can forget what freedom looks like. That closet can also become our grave. We cannot let it happen.
So come out my friends and live. Throw off the chains of sins that bind you and be who you were meant to be. No more hiding. No more faking it. No more secrets. Confess and be free.
Sounds easy right? It's not.
You will need the support, advice and love of all the others that have come out. The road out is narrow, but the path is straight - and isn't that last bit ironic for someone like me?
So come out. Be known. Show yourself, receive grace and join us. See ya in church. Luv ya!
