From Amos, chapter 5...
21 "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies.
23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
This scripture (made famous in our time by Martin Luther King, Jr.) above points to the fact that worship assemblies can be executed well in our eyes but leave God completely angry, if the assembled people do not leave the assembly with changed hearts, changed lives, more in tune with the Father's will.
This month at FXCC is a special time of service, of getting outside ourselves and being the hands & feet of Jesus to our community. May all of our actions & efforts not betray our corporate life of worship together...but may they be consistent with the truths we sing/pray/confess/learn on Sunday mornings together. May our corporate experience of God spill over to our daily walks, so that justice is doled out, and right-living is modeled by every FXCC attendee.
With us, this is impossible; with GOD, all things are possible.
I just spent the weekend in Nashville at the Zoe Worship Conference. www.zoegroup.org It was awesome! I'll be sharing some about it this week.
