What Christians and Churches need more of

I came across this passage in my devotionals today:

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy,  we do not become discouraged. But we have rejected  shameful hidden deeds,  not behaving with deceptiveness or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God. (2 Cor. 4:1-2 NET)

Secrecy and manipulation is unbecoming (and according to this passage, is sin) of those who could call themselves Christians and of those who claim to work for the church.

Instead Christians ought to be more transparent, more open, allowing other Christians their freedom to act according to their conscience and as the Holy Spirit directs.
