Does God Care... About Church? Pt.1
Statistics tell us thousands of people are giving up on church every year. One has to wonder if God will join them.
Church life reminds me of my Jeep. My '95 Wrangler lives in a constant state of repair, limping on a few cylinders between rebuilds. Last weekend I repaired the wiring harness. Next on the list is tie rods. I have a few exhilarating days every year when it runs with the engine light off. Why love it?
It's the removable top and doors, the 4wd low range, the weird way it handles, and how your innards bounce out on washboard roads that make it loveable. The rattles, leaks, and windy ride are part of the love affair.
There is nothing quite like church. It may leave spots in your driveway, but the wind in your hair is unstoppable. :)
I love Cottonwood. Set up comes early some Sundays, and the preacher can be long-winded, but God isn't giving up on church. I'm not either.

Thought of the week: "I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord." Psalms 122:1
