"Football consists of 22 men on the field desperately
in need of a rest, and 60,000 in the stands desperately in need of
exercise." - Author unknown
Worship isn't a spectator sport, it is meant to be
participatory. So today I encourage you
to "get in the game" and get some spiritual exercise!
It's been said that 20% of the people in churches do 80% of
the work... I'm not sure how accurate those numbers are, but just pretending
they’re right; perhaps we have more spectators than “athletes”? In global terms, that would mean that out of
the 2.1 BILLION estimated Christians, only 420 million are engaged in actively
worshiping God by sharing their gifts and lives with God’s people in mission
and ministry. It’s God’s will that that
percentage be much higher… like say, 100%.
John 4:23 – “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the
true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is
seeking such to worship Him.” (NKJV)
Spectator or worshiper, which will you be today?
Let’s worship together… for the Father is seeking you for
just that purpose. May God bless and
keep you today!

I'm always glad to hear from people who have taken time to read the posts here... even those who may not agree with me. I have had to make changes in the way I handle comments for this blog. They will all be subject to moderation from here on in. And as this is a personal blog and I have sole responsibility for its upkeep, it may take me a while to clear a post. I only ask 2 things from those who would leave comments.
1.) Please give your name. I have posted under mine, not anonymously or with a user name that would hide my identity. I would hope if someone was going to share an opinion, thought, criticism, or atta boy, that they would do so without fear of being identified so we can have an open dialogue.
2.) Please be respectful in the use of your language. Any cuss words, slurs, or other specifically vitriolic language will result in your comments not being posted. This is simply an attempt to keep a civil and life affirming tone for this space.
Thanks! And remember... Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss things. But small minds talk about people. Let's try to be great together.
