Title: Facade
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a
When I think of the word Facade most days, I think of the exterior of one of my hotel buildings. Today my thoughts went to my facade as a Christian man and Christian men in general.
I began to think of how I appear to others vs. how I am in my faith and do I give myself to Jesus. I indeed challenge myself and don’t always live up to the challenge, and I ask, is this just me, or is this normal to question myself. Over the years, I even gave myself the name at times a stage Christian. I earned the name one-day serving communion to my congregation just about one hour after I cursed my children up and down for fighting me on attending worship. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Today was one of those days again I put on my facade. Whether it be the hotel executive, father, husband, Ex-soldier, or a faithful Christian man, giving myself totally to him every day in all my actions and not a facade or fraudulent actions.
Real men wear the true Christian Facade every day in all aspects of their life.
