I am just gonna give ya a quick thought that have been on my mind on this busy crazy crunk and awesome sunday
The first thing that has been running through my head today is that we have turned the church into a hotel instead of a hospital
The first thing that has been running through my head today is that we have turned the church into a hotel instead of a hospital
the church has become a place where christians feel comfortable but the unsaved people feel awkward and out of place
we have outfitted out churches with stain glass windows and pews that make the unsaved people uncomfortable
we've compromised on our calling in order to have nice facilities
the great commission wasn't to go and make nice buildings and have choirs and video screens
the great commission was to save the lost at all cost
today i was rockin the DEMON HUNTER w/ my friend derek and as we were watching Demon Hunters live concert dvd i was amazed at the amount of prophetic power there was in their songs
their music didn't just sound hardcore it challenged u to live a hardcore life for Jesus Christ
i know that i've got friends that would never step into a church service but they would go to a demon hunter concert b/c that's what they like
why couldn't our churches be more like that!
why couldn't they be places where everybody is welcomed and feels welcome
a place where hardcore dancing and screemo is totally cool!!
my goal for my life is to plant an inner city church where all the "Rejects" "Misfits" "Freaks" can come and feel welcome
i want the people who nobody else cared about
the people who were rejected from the normal church b/c they were too hardcore
people who are done playing games and want to live STRONGER THAN HELL!!
I think that John the Baptist and Paul would be at the hardcore shows
I think that Paul the "Rawkfist" apostle would be all for doing church like nobody does church
living the life that nobody else is living cause our life is REAL!!!
i think that John the baptist would be at the concert hanging out with the people who didn't fit in at church cause that's who he hung w/
he was suppose to be a levitical priest but he gave that up to prepare the way for jesus christ!!
Let's live STRONGER THAN HELL!!
lets always keep our eyes on the prize and run the race spreading LOVE, HOPE, PEACE, GRACE!!
Let's make the church a place where everybody feels welcomed and loved
have a great sunday evening
and an even more awesome monday!!
