The Spurgeon quote about "clowns entertaining goats instead of shepherds feeding sheep" frames our discussion about authentic Christianity.• Church isn't meant to be merely a motivational experience but a place for genuine transformation• Many Christians "church shop" seeking places that make them feel good rather than places that challenge them• Shifting from "I'm doing this for God" to recognizing God working through us• Being pliable and open to God's direction even when it conflicts with our plans• Acknowledging that all Christians are works in progress with flaws and struggles• The importance of honest self-evaluation in our spiritual journeyJoin us at Connect Church in Rockdale!
