As you can well imagine writing “what’s the point”…had an impact on me and has been the catalyst of some deep thought. I have been moved to try and figure out where all this is going to lead. When I think about my church, I can’t help but to think how well we ‘do’ church. But is it changing lives, how do we move from ‘doing’ church to ‘living’ church?
Here is the deeper thought behind this…Christ died so that I would have eternal life…no dispute with this…but what am I to do in the mean time, while I’m alive here. If it’s all about where I end up…then does it matter how I live now? But if my life now is about living as Christ lived, what if while waiting for my death…I am to live humbly, sacrificially, in community, living deeply with others….as Christ did. What if church isn’t about me at all, maybe it’s about being a part of a sacrificial community. If our focus was to change into something along these lines, what would our church look like…how would our communities be impacted?
I don’t know about you…there is something stirring in me that longs for some thing much deeper…
