We are going out of town today just until Saturday and I cannot shake the disappointment I feel from having to miss church on Thursday. Now, I am not unfamilar with church or it's operations (when it has them, lol) but I do NOT know what it is about this one...I hope it not just a honeymoon phase. You know how it goes eventually, yada, yada, yada...off to church we go.
I was taught, when starting to question the depth of what was being taught years ago, that church was for edification of the body, corporate worship and encouragement of the saints. So you go until well, you know, the inevitable happens. You outgrow the preaching...ouch. Then you are supposed to TEACH. Somehow this just never sat right with me....I always felt like the preaching should at least be on level with if not above the level at which you are being fed at the family altar.
So it is good to again be being fed as sheep...dumb sheep? Maybe. But happy nonetheless!
See you when we get home! Check in by email!
Shalom Ya'll

Baa! I'm happy to be a sheep.
lol... me too.
Besides, and call me wooly, but I've been going about 4 years now and the message I am getting is we're to be continually taught... by the HOLY SPIRIT... that doesn't mean you can't begin to teach, it means you too are continually taught, which means abiding. Our pastor is one of the best I think, yet we don't leave thinking about him... we have been fed the Word.
It's what Jesus, Himself, impressed upon Peter.
Amen! It is SO nice to be taught again...if I think about it, it's been about 5 years since I've been in a church that taught me something...not to say I haven't been taught at all...exactly what you said...the Holy Spirit...but only at the family altar...which is as it should be but still! It is just SO nice. I also leave thinking about the Word a lot. I guess a TON since I am compelled to blog it to death. Lol Our pastor is awesome too...funny and HUMBLE. Rare...
