Friday my twin brother came into town and I was able to hang out with him, his girlfriend and a new friend of mine. Such a good time!
Saturday I got up early and spent some amazing time with my Granny! It was great to see her.
I then preached Saturday night and Sunday morning. It was great fun.
Here are my thoughts about preaching.
I realized how much it wears you out. Monday morning I got up, after preaching three services and not taking enough time to rest, and went to work. Let me tell ya, I was in a daze for most of the day. I had to go home and take a nap.... that usually doesn't happen!
I really enjoyed preaching this weekend. Here is the thing. Since the weekend, I have been worried about getting my true message across. There is a burden that I have felt. A good burden, but still a burden. I hope I can preach again at HCC.
I had a good convo Sunday night with some dear friends about Covenant Membership and Jesus vs. The church.
That was great fun.
I like the idea of covenant membership. I think it is important to educate about what it truly means to join THE Church. I think it is important to hold ourselves accountable to the church, since THE Church has no form of an institution that can do so.
I think its pointless and stupid to transfer memberships from church to church.
I think that if that is all we consider when thinking about membership, we are missing the point.
When we join, we join something much larger than any institution here on earth. we are joining THE Church.... those memberships are either valid or invalid... they don't transfer.
anyway. it was great fun.
today, I'm going to try to be pure in through and action... if anyone reads this feel free to join me.
