Its sunday, and I went to church. I got tired of sleeping in the last three sundays, so last night I found a church within walking distance from the hotel. I had no clue what to expect and I was strangely supprised. It was a very gospel church, a definatel change from what I was used to, the preacher yelled and all that too! And there was a really good gospel quartet (and for me to say that gospel music is good really says something) The message was out of Matt 7:24 where jesus talks about building on a rock solid foundation so that we can weather the storm. The way that the message was delivered was convicting, but thats a good thing. The preacher was definately skilled in motivating people. Before I left, I was toying with the idea of going to different churches to see how other people do church, and God, in his most interesting methods, gave me that opprotunity. I'm used to being quietly motivated in a more inteligent means of convincing, what I got today was more of an ear throbbing air punching kind of message. And what I realized, is that both of them are right. I never really realized that different people need a different medium to get the same message. I was always under the assumption that gospel churches were super judgemental fire and brimstone kind of places. Well, this one definately played the fire and brimstone angle, but I have rarely felt as welcome here than I have at alot of other churches that I have been to. If your wandering if there is any point to all this, there isnt, I just need to ramble for a little while to figure things out, lol. Idk, I am excited to have church served to me a little differently than I am used to, when I get back, I doubt that I will be seeking the same kind of church I've got now, but I'll definately have some good perspective on how people can produce fruit for the kingdom.
