Title: Be True to Yourself
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27
Speaker: Bill Gorman, BillG@ChristCommunityKC.org


>> You are the best thing God made.
>> Chasing your “true” self only leaves you running.

I mean the understanding of life which emerges with the Romantic expressivism of the late-eighteenth century, that each one of us has his/her own way of realizing our humanity, and that it is important to find and live out one’s own, as against surrendering to conformity with a model imposed on us from outside, by society, or the previous generation, or religious or political authority. — Charles Taylor, A Secular Age

It’s time to see what I can do,
To test the limits and breakthrough,
No rights, no wrong, no rules for me, I’m free!
— “Let It Go” Frozen

The objectively right course of action was something that the majority of my life taught me was repulsive to an upstanding young man. For a few hours after I did the right thing, I silently criticize myself.
— J. D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy
