My interim Office Assistant, good friend, and radical church member made a comment recently that caused me to give pause. Basically, what she said was that since she had been working at church she had not had time to connect with her "3", the three friends she had been getting involved with to help guide them on their spiritual journeys. When she said that I realized I had lost focus on my "3" as well. I realized that I was so busying being a spiritual leading Preacher Man to my church that I was failing to make time for my "3" who needed spiritual leading the most of all.
As I was working through all of this I realized churches are in many ways just like that. They are so busy doing church, hanging out with other Christians at church, having church meetings, and attending church activities, that they have forgotten how to be the church, the radical transforming power of Christ in and to an unbelieving world.
What about you? Are you being the church or are you just going through motions???
May God Bless,
The Preacher Man
