CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Music theme was “Eminence Front” by The Who. Here are some of the lyrics to explain Pete Townshend’s meaning of the term:
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
Behind an eminence front
An eminence front, it’s a put on
It’s just an eminence front
An eminence front, it’s a put on
An eminence front
An eminence front, it’s a put on
Eminence front
It’s an eminence front, it’s a put on
It’s a put on, it’s a put on, it’s a put on
I admit that there are times (and some of them are not short periods of time) that I have been a put on, a fake, not who I really am. Sometimes I had to be in order to fulfill a role/position/job that I was in or was assign to perform. It may not always be a bad thing but it can lead us to believe we are something we are not intended to be. It is particularly harmful when we hide behind a façade and try to make ourselves better than we are or better than someone else. Pride isn’t good and leads us to hurt others. We think we have to do this to conform to the world but Paul reminds us in Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Periodic self assessment or “real” conversation with someone that knows us well can help each of us realize when our eminence front is going in the ditch.
