When it comes to be church....

I dont use words like product...It insinuates that I am some how connected to what people experience beyond being present and willing to follow the leading of the Lord.

I dont use words like social institution...This insinuates a set agenda by the people in the world who FEEL as if the needs of the community or being met.

I discourage the use of the pulpit as stage....This insinuates that its about the people rather than engaging God.

I am straying away from excellence....Its form of perfection that insinuates our own standards sometime about God's standard.

I detest language of performance when it comes to service....This insinuates that if we make a mistake then there is problem.

I notion of activity can be a farce....to keep us focusing on doing things that are not necessary or maybe necessary but to focused on the things of the world.

When it comes to the spiritual body known as the church....

We have standards....
We have a culture...
We have an idea...
We have a statue by which we serve....
We have a standard by which we are measured.....
We have a mission....
We have a direction...
We are not the world, neither do we need to conform to the things of the world...

The spiritual body known as the church has existed and worked effectively since its creation by the savior. We are must come to reject the social notion of the church and embrace the universal definition. Then and only then can we see where we should be standing....

There is no difference now for our need than before...The world knows we are needed now the space we are occupying (if we are occupying) is where they need us.

They dont need us protesting....they are already doing that...They need us to pray.
They dont need us to petition the government....We are already doing that....They need us to seek God.
They dont need us to yell black lives matter....We are already and have been doing that...They need us to win the war for the soul of america.
They dont need us to do what they are already doing....because the church is already present in those arenas.
They need the spiritual body to hold down is place  so that the change can come.

Our place is before God and as we march, protest and activise...We need to be sure we are fufilling our first responsibilty.
