Are confidence and humility mututally exclusive? I'm sure there must be people who are humble and confident, but it seems hard to cultivate an attitude like that.
Is church as we know it today the way God intended it to be? The early church in Acts seems to different from today, have we strayed too far? They had ethics that we don't seem to embrace, like sharing all our possessions and pooling resources. A closeness to God and burning integrity that isn't there now - we don't see people struck down dead by God for lying in church.
Dissatisfaction seems to be the theme of the week so far... church, relationships, integrity, attitude. Hope it doesn't continue, it's depressing!

Humility is an accurate perception of one's self in my book. Humility is often confused with putting oneself down as the opposite of promoting one's self. Whereas if you have an accurate self perception one knows one's weakness, one's vulnerability, one's place before God and others. Confidence isn't exclusive from that eg if you know your position you can be confident in your God given talents, grace to fill in your weaknesses etc. IMHO!
