If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
What a great question. Can God still heal instantaneously? Of course He can. If it's not happening in people's lives, who's fault is that?
ReplyDeleteCould it be because we don't preach the Gospel and the new life that it brings and could it be because we don't give altar calls in our services.
Or, could it be that we just don't have faith that He can or will?
Or could it be that so many have been turned off by churches that preach the gospel but do not live it.
ReplyDeleteWe always seem to conveniently forget that the "Church" is us. "We have met the enemy and he is us," Charlie Brown.
ReplyDeleteIf churches are turning people off then whose fault is that? Steve U.
