Our Churches Should Attract The People Jesus

People Had Taught Me What Christians Believe, But No One Had Told Me How Christians Live.

Liturgy And Worship Were Never Meant To Be Confined To The Cathedrals And Sanctuaries. Liturgy At Its Best Can Be Performed Like A Circus Or Theater - Making The Gospel Visible As A Witness To The World Around Us.

It Is A Dangerous Day When We Can Take The Cross Out Of The Church More Easily Than The Flag. No Wonder It Is Hard For Seekers To Find God Nowadays.

When We Put Too Much Hope In A Candidate Or A Party We Set Ourselves Up For Disappointment. When I See A Poster With [barak] Obama's Image With The Word "hope" Under It, Something In Me Cringes - Our Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Than Jesus' Blood And Righteousness, The Old Hymn Goes, All Other Ground Is Sinking Sand.

We Should Refuse To Get Sucked Into Political Camps And Insist On Pulling The Best Out Of All Of Them. That's What Jesus Did - Challenge The Worst Of Each Camp And Pull Out The Best Of Each.
