I’m getting into this whole blog thing, just write about random stuff I have realised that all my posts so far have been related to got or my faith in some way, I suppose that sums me up my life revolves around my faith, it sounds really sad but it does, when you meet me it may not come across like that but deep down it... I’m still stressing about church and what I’m going to do about that still worried about Heart of Worship, you know the saying "make all your mistakes in the church" at the moment it doesn’t feel like that the church is such an unforgiving place or that’s how its coming across, trying to set up this worship event I have faced so many problems, churches are worried that "my church" is trying to persuade their youth to leave there church, so some are very against it others I know if it goes badly will consider the church to be a failure, it will give the church a bad name and that is why Mr T is worrying about it. But at the end of the day what is he going to do? Stop it from happening? Surely that’s stopping someone from doing Gods work is it not? I don’t know I’m just worried that if I do mess up then no one will have the opportunity to do anything else. There is so much politics in the church its crazy! But mind you what is totally independent these days. How many things don’t have a time limit? How do you expect God to move in amazing spectacular ways if you say right you need to do your thing between 10:00 and 10:130?
I’m going off on one done read on if you don’t want I may bore you.
I think one thing in the church that needs to change is people turn up on a Sunday morning knowing exactly what is going to happen you sing you have a talk sing a little more then tea and coffee, maybe sometimes it needs to completely over the big guy, just turn around and say this is for you, have no sound system no band just a cd and praise let God work God is in the details make it so there are no distractions its you and him.is that not what its meant to be like? I know all churches have their own way of doing things but I think part of the main reason that we don’t see tens of people each week so touch by the holy spirit that they are crying or dancing or laying on the floor just out in it is because we are not expectant enough, when was the last time you sat in church and had a God moment? When was the last time more than a handful of people were prayed for? When was the last time some one out of the ordinary got up on stage and shared a word or picture? When was the last time you prayed? Or worshiped out side of church? Is God really the centre of your life? Of your pastors life? Of the church? Is it all about him or how many people you can get in the door or how much you can get in the offering? Just a few things to thing about....
