THEY COME IN PAIRS

Two Practices: Confession and Secrecy

There are two dimensions of life: visible and invisible, hidden and known, public and private, inner and outer. Public life without private life is just a show. Private life without public life is just seclusion.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO KEEP A SECRET?

Warning: Approval Addiction

The goal of secrecy as a spiritual practice is to be able to live without human approval. “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” // Matthew 6:1

□ Be on guard against…

□ To be seen by them…

□ No reward (pay back)

APPROVAL ADDICTION ANTIDOTE

“And your Father who sees in secret …”

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” // Matthew 6:33

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

// Colossians 3:1-3
