HAVEN

i was talking to my dad the other week about haven. he was asking me what we do for worship, so on our off week, i went to my dad's church. there was sunday school first, i went to the young adult one. i don't think they took well to me, when they asked if there was any questions and i asked "so why did jesus come down from heaven, because he had it really good up in heaven." the person giving the lesson kinda looked at me and scoffed.

i don't know what the purpose of sunday school is anymore. it feels like i already know enough about jesus and his salvation to go out and share the gospel. if i wanted to study the bible i could do it on my own. is there something wrong with thinking that?

after that, i met up with my dad for service. i was trying to explain to him what a sunday would be like in our community. it was the same way i remember, but more "traditional"? i don't know the word for it. all of the pastors wore robes now, along with the choir and such.

they'd start with what we would do as worship, but it was more of a sing-a-long of hymns and such. the choir would do a special song. after that, there would be annoucements, and another pastor would talk for a bit, then they'd have communion.

at this point, i leaned over to my dad and said, "if we were at haven, worship would go to about here. except that we'd be sharing a meal together, instead of the pastor going on with another 30 minute sermon." to which he said, "nice." and then we got up and left. :P

this is kinda just a thought. we also talked about other things like how we were trying to figure out what was hindering us from worshiping God. and then we got rid of it. anyways, this is my little blurb for the week.

questions? comments? hate mail?
woot.

how do you worship when you don't feel like it?

...the title says it all.
