This year’s London Women’s Convention, on 15 October, saw 1,500 women gather at the Emmanuel Centre, London, for two sessions under the title ‘Authentic: Inside and Out’
Linda Allcock spoke with great personal honesty from the Sermon on the Mount. ‘The Heart of Authenticity’ addressed the temptation to hypocrisy, covering up our failures by hiding both from one another and from our Heavenly Father. Jesus, by contrast, teaches us not to hide the reality of our sin but to run to him for grace to change.
‘The Secret of Authenticity’ looked at our inbuilt desire for approval, and compared the danger of seeking human approval with the freedom that comes from having our Heavenly Father’s approval, enabling us to live for his glory rather than our own.
