Isn’t it ironic, that people in church services migrate to the furthest pews from the pastor?
But wait,maybe not! Excuse me for saying this but it has to be said. Maybe this kind of worship is not of God!
Let me explain myself. If this is what God intended to be an example of His worship of Him, would we not be sitting at the feet of the Pastor?(this is not to give more credence to a Pastor!)but if He is of God wouldn’t this make sense?
This is exactly what Mary did when Christ came into her home, she sat at Jesus’s feet, not on the next to last row so I could beat everybody out of church to make it to the restaurant in time! If we do not think or believe that God is in the room why are we there?
Please think about this for a few minutes or longer. Please.
If Christ is in a physical room or a physical way, I would be at His side in a heartbeat!! But the matter of things is that our mindset is that things of a service are not of God, so we do not react in that way.
Let me lead you on to a different path. How do you get close to God? I for one am the closest to Him, when I am reading His word. I am an avid reader, but I am more of an avid reader of the Word, you see Christ is in His Word, the Living Word. He lives in His words,His thoughts, His people, and His Spirit. His Spirit is what is the closest I believe you can get. I can become like a kid in a candy store when God gives me insight into His Spirit.
Let me go deeper into this subject, Let me give my 2 cent opinion of this matter. We as christians have just plainly missed the boat on what Christ wanted!!!! Let me explain, You see it is like the Piñata effect! Our natural action when we see the Pinata is to get a big stick so we can beat that thing to death, so we can have all that candy inside. Candy is the byproduct of the Pinata. For centuries we have been trying to find a stick at church and beating that pinata to get to candy, when we should of been trying to just own the pinata ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn’t this make sense! Yes, a million times. You see if we had the Piñata(Christ) we would own the Candy(byproducts of Christ) His Gifts of the Spirit.
God is our Goal. So, Where are you sitting? Are you sitting close to Him or are you in the 43rd row?
