Against Brokenness Culture

Much is said about our “messy” lives and how we all deal with “brokenness.” Some seem to think the lost will be more open to the church if we emphasize just how broken all of us are. And it’s true that we all have our trials, and we all stumble and fall into sin at times. But we must not wallow. We can’t stay there.

We must not repeat the line that we are all broken. We were all broken at one point. Some still are. But the cross heals our brokenness. Even in our continued struggles and trials, Christ makes us whole. To continue to insist we are broken sinners is to deny the work of Christ. In Him we are more than conquerors over anything life throws at us (Romans 8:37-39), and we are called to lay aside the sin that so easily entangles us (Hebrews 12:1).
