In the ordinary church, it is suppressed by respectability, by a desire to appear better than we really are.
Flesh sells. People don't want to see pictures of churches. They want to see naked bodies.
You can't hide God in you. God was not meant to become part of you, and you hide out in the closet. I don't think He wanted that. I think He wanted people to see the Christ in you that reflects Him.
Many come to bring their clothes to church rather than themselves.

It is common for those that are farthest from God, to boast themselves most of their being near to the Church.
We come to church not to hide our problems but to heal them.
