Comments on: Pay No Attention To That Man Behind the Curtain! http://www.ubfriends.org/2013/01/10/pay-no-attention-to-that-man-behind-the-curtain/ for friends of University Bible Fellowship Wed, 21 Oct 2015 04:34:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.3.1 By: BrianK http://www.ubfriends.org/2013/01/10/pay-no-attention-to-that-man-behind-the-curtain/#comment-14615 Sun, 27 Jul 2014 15:18:39 +0000 http://www.ubfriends.org/?p=5304#comment-14615 Very good questions that deserve some further discussion:

“If pastors and church leaders came out from behind the curtain — if they put aside any false projection of authority, power, confidence and expertise – and if they stopped exaggerating about what they have experienced and stop making false promises about what others will experience if they choose to live as disciples of Christ – what do you think would happen? Would the faith of people be shaken? Or would everyone come to a deeper understanding and experience of the gospel?”

I agree with your thoughts in this article, Joe. Let it go and see what happens!

A few years ago, Christy reached the exact same conclusion as your article based on the movie, in that some particular leaders act tough, domineering, and in control like the mighty Wizard of Oz, when their real true self is really something else.
