Just to be certain.....(clarification from previous post)

I was going back to read my post to make sure that it did not sound clumsy, ambling, and ignorant. I feel I avoided such descriptions, however my current line of thinking drives me provide a clarification on one point.

Worship does not "look like" or "sound like" or "smell like" or "seem like" anything. Worship is something that happens beneath the surface. Worship happens in that spiritual place that establishh the symptoms that are what we see, hear, feel....

Too often we define worship by some sort of physical attribute; this is impossible. We have not worshiped more or less because of what we did; we have worshiped at all because of how our spirit recognizes and responds the Spirit of God; the Holy Spirit.

So, let's not search for what worship looks like, feels like, or sounds like. Let's look deeper into ourselves to experience God, and Worship will happen; leaving symptoms that are much more natural and genuine.

Everything....

Have you ever wondered what good this religion thing does for us? I mean, there are plenty of people, who do not claim to be Christians, that live a great life. When asked what Jesus though was the most important commandment, He surprised the traditionalists who were asking....."love Your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself." See, the pharisee's, who were doing the asking, were a group of guys who were quite conceited in their religion. They prayed the loudest, where the most people could hear them, the made sure everybody knew how "Holy" they were, and they had based their entire religious foundation on rules and regulations. Jesus was telling us that this whole thing should be based on relationship. The thing about this commandment He gave us was the way He said it. Jesus was not talking about loving God, but being "in love" with God. Love Him with everything!! Love your neighbor with everything. The r

Spiritual Schizophrenic

So, exactly what is it that brought us here? We walk into each day so willing to except any and all of “the latest news breaks” as gospel, but when it comes to the Gospel, we…somehow check out. There are so many instructions and insights in scripture – to guide our lives – and yet we are as medicated a society as has ever been. We need direction, it is there, but we don’t take it. As we tell people, we serve an all powerful God who can divide rivers, walk on water, and heal the blind, but we freak out when we cut it close on the bills, or come down with a common cold. Does that not make you wonder if you really believe God is all powerful? Do you wonder why those who are not serving God question Him when this is what we show them? While we could be living in a reality of beauty, grace, love, and glorious eternity, we choose to hold ourselves to the reality that’s presented in the latest “reality” series, evening news, or even in our homes. There is a reality that is beyond any of that.

Awesome Rehearsal....

We had an awesome rehearsal tonight. I am so excited at the fact that worship band of Genesis is truely developing into just that, a "worship band." We could so want to get up and impress the socks off of everybody, and choose to use our time working for that end, but tonight, we were a group of guys (and Girl) that were honing our gifts for the 1 true audience, and in the process, experiencing Him.....that is what his thing is all about. But, hey.....if we sound good in the process, that is what God deserves; nothing less.
