The Nobody's Perfect Club

Today we want to challenge a phrase we hear all the time. We hear it in the world, as well as in the church. That phrase is “Nobody’s Perfect”. 

How many times have you heard that said?  How many times have you said it yourself?

On the surface, it sounds like someone is asking for a bit of grace. However, it becomes a weaponized excuse to defend behaviors the word of God explicitly calls wrong.

We want to take aim at that phrase, as it’s often used to justify when we’ve done something wrong or displayed a character flaw. It gives an individual endless room to justify shortcomings. 

Using excuses in many cases is not about acknowledging human weakness, but is an active choice against growing, an active rejection of the call to mature spiritually.

If that’s you, then you are a member of the “Nobody’s Perfect Club”, which is not a club you should belong too.

Whenever I hear that phrase, I’m reminded of the scripture where God said to “be ye perfect, for I am perfect”.  

God wouldn’t tell us to do something that couldn’t be done. So, it becomes clear that perhaps we don’t quite understand what God means, when he tells us to be perfect.  

Listen as we take this deep dive into “perfection”, what it means, and what it doesn’t mean.
