I'm not a very good blogger. As you can tell by lack of posts. Today I've had the apartment to myself, so I've just been getting a lot done and thinking. I like the quiet. It's easy to focus in and do what needs to be done in a relaxing way. This morning I listened to a church service online, made lunch, and did laundry. As morning crept into afternoon I trudged through the slush to de-iceify my car and get groceries. I kept my budget which made me happy, was forced to listen to a very awkward conversation in the check out line, and then headed home to do some homework and watch a little How I Met Your Mother. But through all of this...I just keep thinking.
In the sermon this morning, the pastor talked about how we treat church. It shouldn't be for entertainment. It's not a place we go to listen to a speaker and some music and applaud away. (Yes, there should be worship through the music and speaking...but that's a little different). It's not a place to go to "feel good." Church was designed by God as a place to equip believers to live out their faith in this world...together. We should not sit there complacent, but instead expect to go to church to be challenged. Think about it a bit. Challenge yourself.
I'm thankful for Sundays..and wise people who share the truth.
