I have had a couple of things on my mind lately….
First, we recently had Chris Tomlin play at our church and it was an awesome event. But my heart was unsettled. I found myself worshipping with my whole heart again. Normally I have a hard time worshiping. Then I thought why is it I only feels as I am connecting with our creator through A. Playing an instrument in the worship team and B. In a all worship night. Then it hit me Focus. I lost my focus. When I am sitting as part of the congregation I am distracted. Distracted by, not perfect sound, singers that sing out of key, or a bad note. I am so focused on everything needing to be perfect that I lost sight of what I am actually worshiping…GOD. Why does it take I well know worship leader and song writer coming to my church, leading us in worship to somehow reach and make a better connection with our God? Focus. It was a focus event on worship, I need better focus.
Second, lately I have heard more conversations of what “kind” of christian we/I/me am. It seems that we are more defined by what church we go to rather than defined by what God we worship. I am “Non denominational, AG, Baptist, southern Baptist, Conservative, blah blah.” I am a christian, Christ Follower, Little Christs. We all believe in the same things but need to section ourselves off in different groups because we cannot respect how others my, preach, worship, or views on certain things. Granted some of those people take things to an extreme and invoke emotion rather than a movement or conviction form the spirit. Don’t worry I am not saying I am perfect, by all means I am not and I don’t have it figured out. I just found it odd that we have gotten so far off that we tend to mack of poke fun at different denominations. I only have noticed this because I have done it. I am guilty but the more I have thought about it the more I fell I need to stop rethink and then react to the things I may not understand.
Well that felt good to get that off my brain, sorry if it does m=not make much sense but a rambling thought comes straight from my brain to the tips of my fingers and then transfer to the keyboard. Kinda my brain throwing up. Well there you have it. Stay Classy World Wide Web.
