Last Sunday our church had another preview service which will help us become a multi-sited church. I have spent most of today discussing the many parts of that service. But in the midst of the discussion we all have been in agreement that despite the many technical problems God was in the house. I would rather have God’s Spirit with us and have a less than perfect service than to have a perfect service without God’s Spirit. God’s Spirit with us makes all the difference in the world.
It is all too easy to think we are doing something great and feel like it was a success. However, the Scripture put it well that “without God they labor in vain who build the house.” (Psalm 127:1) One of the problems as I see it among the modern church is that there is too much emphasis on what we can do and not enough upon relying on God. I not only needed to write those words I need to live them. I work too hard at what I can do and not enough on letting God work.
