An introduction to a new story series ...
Radio chatter peppers my long drives around central Kentucky, from my home in the woods to various business appointments and church events in the city of Lexington.
Recently on one of these trips, a radio DJ on a Christian station posed a question that needled me.
"What I wonder," he said, "is what we're going to do in Heaven. I know we're going to worship God all of the time, but I'm not sure what that means. And I'm not sure if I really like the idea."
My jaw dropped. He continued.
"I mean, when we worship at church, most of us can only take about an hour of it, and then we're ready to go home. What will it be like to worship for an eternity? I guess we'll find out when we get there, but I'm trying to understand that, and I think a lot of other people are, too."
Do you feel that way? Do you dread going to church, look at your watch and think about your lunch, or feel like the fifth stanza of that last hymn is never going to end?
Or do you look forward to worship? Are you excited to get in your car on a Sunday morning and drive hurriedly so that you don't miss the opening prayer?
The DJ's question troubled me, because I realized that most people would agree with him.
But I have good news for you.
Worship doesn't have to be that way.
Tune in tomorrow, when we'll launch a new story series.
The title of the first one?
"The Mysterious King on the Throne"
omygosh! Any person who has a public ear, is actually in a position of ledership, therfore if this DJ has put doubt or a spec of faith lessness in others' minds, he will be held responsible.
ReplyDeleteas for me, worship is representative of my love language. This is what the dj doesn't understand. He will be corrected and disciplined by our Father.
