ME? You’re kidding, right?
Can’t walk
Soil my diapers … enjoy it
Have to be spoon-fed
Whine and cry when I don’t get my way
Can’t even arm-wrestle a chipmunk
WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

… we are not godly. We are constant sinners; how can people like us be saved? We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our
righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind. Isaiah 64:5-6 NLT

No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become
useless. No one does good, not a single one. Romans 3:10 NLT

John 15:5 NIV
I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in
me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me
you can do nothing.

An ordinary task
BE HONEST WITH GOD • He knows it anyway
• It gives you clarity that He knows the worst about you
• It provides a surface which God can touch

An ordinary task
BE HONEST WITH GOD
BE REAL WITH OTHERS
• Most people, being phonies themselves, can spot a phony.
• A habit of being real will let Jesus be real with others also
• It provides a surface which others can touch

An ordinary task
BE HONEST WITH GOD
BE REAL WITH OTHERS
LET GOD BE GOD
• Seriously consider how little you actually understand about God
• Seriously consider how unlikely He is to ask you for advice
• Seriously consider that His grace makes no sense. He just does what He wants to do.
