On Sunday my family and I tried a new church! If there is one thing that I absolutely hate doing, it’s visiting churches. Thats probably on the list of most awkward things to do. So imagine this with me: You drive into the parking lot and instantly you see the signs that say visitor parking. I’m convinced that those signs are not there so that the visitors can have a close parking spot. I’m pretty sure that the visitor signs have little cameras in them. You see, the head deacon sits up in a booth watching all of the cameras, and if he happens to see someone park in the spot he radio down to the door greeters so that they know that the person is a visitor, and they can ambush them with stacks of literature on the church. If you ever want to mess with them when visiting a church, don’t park in the visitor parking. If you don’t park in the visitor parking, you will be greeted by people at the front door offering you an “order of service” and a handshake. If you are visitor they will look at you and try to decide if they have seen you before. Then you make your way into the main part of the building for the service. You have no idea what expect. The music could be loud, the people could be loud, they could have a special time when they embarrass all of the visitors….
Okay, I admit, most of that is a little extreme…typically visiting a church isn’t that bad….
I actually really enjoyed the sermon at the church we visited. It seemed to be very fitting to my life and what I am currently going through. The text was from Job 13:15-16.
“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.”
I really don’t have the time right now to tell you all about all that was in the sermon, but you can look for it in my upcoming posts.
Today’s Blessings:
1.The blessing that the sermon was and the way that the Lord used an awkward circumstance to speak to my heart.
