About This Quote

Church is too often the most risky place to be spiritually honest. Churches can often be very judgmental. If you are open and honest with others who attend the same church, they may think that you are not a "good Christian" because of your actions. Perhaps you are married but secretly living with another person.

Maybe you're not proud of it but you still see your parents on weekends. Or maybe you're just trying to live your life fully, despite the fact that some people do not agree with that choice.
