Lately I've been thinking...

My heart hurts, and it aches for this apathy that has seem to over come me. It is apathy, but at the same time, some of the biggest passion i've ever had. I feel almost too far away to help. This... poverty, homeless, broken, abused people... I can't get them out of my head.

Jesus was not religious. I don't know when we began to think that going to church, donating money to charity were all ways of giving the gospel to someone.. but i've discovered that what these people want the MOST out of anything... is for someone to love them... without exactly finances. They want attention, they want love, and they want to know the answers to life.

I've been recently challeged to get out of my "Church" bubble, and really go and do what Jesus did - get DIRTY, and go love the unlovelies.

Join me.

Should I pray for Peace? or Should I pray for war?

Tonight, I went to Canterbury. I could not help but notice something while i was singing praises to my King. [I worship the lord the best when I can see the spirit of God moving within people. ]So, today I observed while I sung. It seemed to me that at the same time, on the "E" chord, eyes closed. when the chorus came - hands were raised. It was this way the whole night.

Why have we let worshiping our KING become such a routine that we know when we close our eyes, we know when to raise our hands, and surprisingly we know when to "sit down and pray". This has aggrivated me. We completley take advantage of a time with our Savior - an intimate time that not alot of people overseas even get to have.

All I'm saying - get out of your routine. Become completley broken - fall on your knees, your face if you have to.
