No fun

“Most churches are in decline because they are no fun…Jesus must have been fun, or children wound not have hung around him.  We need to get over taking ourselves so seriously.  Take the kingdom of God seriously? Yes.  Take ourselves seriously?  No.  A huge difference separates the two.  Committed Christians should be the happiest people in the world, and people should flock to us to enjoy the joy.” –William T. McConnell in Renew Your Congregation    

 

Pray today that we as a church can be light hearted people.  People that love well; and that we are giddy because we are so in love with Jesus.  As we begin new things and as we instate changes, there will be resistance…much because people take things too seriously.  Pray that the atmosphere in our committee would spread to the church.
