I went to the fellowship that meets in the school behind our house on Sunday. Really felt God telling me to, which was interesting after a long, interesting day on Saturday spent with an old friend discussing church and some of the issues she was working through.
God is so fantastic He used the time on Sunday to speak to me.
We were singing Matt Redman's "Coming back to the heart of worship" when God gave me these words:
Coming back to the heart of Church
We're sorry Lord for the thing we've made it
But its all about You, All about You Jesus.
And I got into praying and repenting of the thing that we have made church (in fact I love what Stewart Keiller has put on his blog - check it out), a consumerist place, into a slick performance, into something we want, something we need, something we moan and complain about, excuse or lift up. When actually we have forgotten that actually church is all about Jesus. It is all about His people coming together in their ragtaggle way and hanging out together and doing some corporate stuff with each other and for Him.
After that we went on to sing "Amazing Grace" and it was like Him saying that by His Amazing Grace He can bring His church back to how He intended, back to Him, and all that it should be, if we are willing to just love that amazing grace.
