A Community That Suffers Together

Aug 9, 2026    Paul Stiver

The church should be the safest place in the world to be honest, and yet it's often where we're most tempted to wear a mask. Psalm 32 shows us why only the gospel breaks that open: when God has already declared you righteous in Christ, you no longer need to perform righteousness. This creates a community that can be fully honest about sin and struggle together, because nobody here is earning anything.
