One of the blogs I read regularly is by Perry Noble, a megachurch pastor in South Carolina. He’s authentic, down-to-earth, and earthy.
Yesterday, Perry listed a bunch of statements which completed this sentence: “I don’t want to live a life….” Here’s the one that really grabbed me:
“I don’t want to live a life in which church becomes normal and routine and the person of Jesus becomes boring and dull.”
The thing is, church can be exciting and fulfilling, and Jesus can still be a sideshow. That’s what a lifetime in the church can do. There are times when I’m really plugged into Jesus, but other times when I’m very disconnected, despite being engulfed in church work. How to get beyond that…?
