Soccer Again

Well it's another Saturday, time for a full day at the soccer fields spent coaching, cheering, hollering at refs and praying I dont loose my Christianity in front of the kids (or the Adults who think I'm perfect :)... good thing there are none of those present!)
In coaching soccer one of the things I focus on is the ability to recognize the weaknesses in our teammates so we can assist them in their weakness and make the "team" stronger. I wonder if Christians spent less time worrying about what their spiritual appearance was, and more time living real while looking for ways to serve others in their area of weakness if the whole community of faith would become stronger and more vibrant?
I'm guessing thats why God said in His word to Samual that God doesnt see things like man see's things, man judges the outward appearance (i.e. do we look holy enough to the other people who are trying to look holy) while God judges our hearts.
I pray we get this heart thing down soon so we can give up the nonsense of our pious religion and begin to start impacting people's lives through the grace and empowerment of God...in our weakness!
