I don't know why I'm always amazed at God's presence. But I am. Last night we had worship gathering called "Remedy" - which is an intimate worship time centered on prayer and healing. Usually have an intimate crowd, and keep it real simple --- some prayerful worship music, prayer, sharing. Last night as we shared and prayed together, people struggling and suffering opened up . And the great part was that others then gathered around them to support them and help them carry their burdens (Galatians 6:2). I said to someone afterwards - that I need to be very careful not to "plan God right out of worship." God was so central in our gathering last night, I realized that sometimes I make the "worship event" central instead of Him. It may seem like a little thing and some may call it semantics - but it's not. If our worship event is central - then we are central. If God is central - then we're worshiping the only One worth worshiping.
Last night is a challenge to me to be sure that Christ is the center of all we do.
We're John & Shauna, the parents of 4 kids (yes - we're outnumbered). We're trying to intentionally have GREAT FAMILY NIGHTS with our kids in order to help them learn and live some things we feel are so important. Our desire is to share ideas in order that you might have some GREAT FAMILY NIGHTS, too!
