Let me entertain you...

[Warning: Mini-rant ahead] The mega-church down the road recently built a new sanctuary, which we experienced firsthand at Tim Hawkins' show.  It was certainly impressive to say the least, but I had to shut my mouth more than once to keep the snark inside.  The stage had light panels above, below, and surrounding the 3 ginormous TV screens at the back. The color of the lights were varied depending on Tim's musical numbers and even changed to red, white, and blue for his grand finale. Very cool for the new Chick-fil-A song, but can anyone tell me why a light show would be necessary for the preaching of the word? It was so sad when the pastor of this congregation invited people to their worship service, telling the audience he was called the "Jeff Foxworthy" of  preachers. At the end of the show, another man (maybe the assistant pastor) also gave an invitation stating that if you liked Tim Hawkins you'd love it there Sunday morning. Is that any recommendation?...

Where I am

" This speaks to me, because this is where I am ." I'm borrowing the line from a Tim Hawkins' routine , but how often have we heard or used that very line.  Sure, we may be at a certain phase in our sanctification, provided one is a Christian, but where I am  doesn't give me the right to tweak God or twist His Word to fit nicely where I am .  By His very nature, God is unchangeable.  So guess who needs to do the changing?
