fire

working at home today.

so the first major thing that god revealed to me while at the church planting congress was that i had become seduced by the culture i live in. i live in yaletown which is one of the most cosmetic places in north america. everything here is about appearances.

as a result i felt that if i a church was going to reach people it also had to "look good" - flashy logo, posters, web-site etc. in reality what is important is the interior of the church - the heart and soul. a community that truly loves each other and serves each other.

things like fasting and prayer and seeking god's face is more important then having a church filled with "cool" people wearing the right clothes. - i repented and asked god to continue to reveal to me his will and give me new priorities. too often we focus on the package - while the product sucks. i once bought a book because it had a good title and a cool cover - it wasn't a very good book.

so that was the first big lesson.

davinci lecture is tomorrow - please pray that god would lead people to come who would normally never come to a church.

i got a good friend who is going through a tough time - please pray for him.
