- biblically the church is those who believe in Christ and follow Him with the patterns of their lifestyles.
- americanized christianity has made it about a building. although they say with their mouth that we are the church their actions speak something so much louder. "lets go to church" honestly is should be "lets go to a show."
i'm seriously tired of playing church and going all along with all the B.S.
my heart is moving toward plugging into my community here in reno, and joining the on going battle of striving together to find Christ in a broken community and becoming part of the church. the church should play out as a powerful moving force that will change the negative influence in my existing community. i've realized from the sideline of local church i've been bitter but haven't been part of any solution in doing my part in building up the body with my gifts or at least if i have its been from a distance so that i don't get dirty or hurt.
traveling with the music and blessing the body through music has been a wild ride and i feel to some extent i will continue to do that but i feel like only from a place of the local church turning me loose.
we are praying about how to walk this out with our actions. please pray for us. God bless you and stir you up so that you will find yourself loving people more than yourself.
so lets see if my words will match my actions shall we?
please pray for me.
chris
