The Beauty of Expression

God wants us to walk in truth. If we are walking in lies, if we are saying things to make ourselves sound cool, we are just building a trap for ourselves. Walk in the truth, there is freedom to be yourself in truth. God has also given unique expressions to each cultures and something that missionaries did that was wrong is that they said this is how you worship God. This is after  the people  accepted Christ, each cultures have different ways of worshipping. The missionaries tell them to stand up and sing when you worship and told them to cover their bodies  with clothes like them. They tried to conform them to their culture. They told the people of different cultures that their expression of worship is wrong and the way they dress and present themselves is also wrong. So hearing these twisted lies of God made all of the world loose their unique expression or think our view of God is demonic. We need to share with the rest of the world that their culture is not wrong and that God loves their worship in their own unique expression because he created us uniquely. As Christians we have to realize that in our culture there is fraud. We need to apply God’s culture to our culture and we have to know that God is unique. God doesn’t expect us to just sing. He wants us to express our worship to him in our unique ways. We are his beautiful people and we really need to know that and listen to him say that daily.
