Church

Churches are a fascinating thing. Being involved in a Bible-believing church is extremely important to me. I like our church. It's good. The people are nice. They have a passion for missions and a hear for an orphanage in Haiti. I've met some great friends, but it's not the best fit. Something just doesn't click. I don't know if anyone ever feels like they totally fit into a church, or maybe I am just weird and don't fit in anywhere.

I volunteer in the nursery twice a month and last week was asked to join a group at church that helps connect new people to small groups. I would have to cut back on nursery to do this. I'm just unsure. At the very least I am flattered to be considered. On one hand I have the opportunity to get more involved, but at the same time I'm wondering if this is the church I am supposed to be at.

I've also had a really hard time getting to church the last couple weeks. I can totally get there to volunteer on Saturday nights, but I don't know what my problem is on Sundays!

So, this morning I listened to a sermon online from McLean Bible Church, where I used to attend in Virginia. I listened to a fascinating sermon this morning entitled "How to Keep America From Becoming Europe Spriitually" . First, I really connect with the pastor. Second, I love the church's view on reaching out to the community. They do so much, I love it. I didn't love the size. It's so big. Evidently a lot of people in the DC/MD/VA area feel similarly about MBC.

I've linked the sermon, because it's fascinating and explains a lot about the church. Some people hear of a church with 7000 people attending weekly and think it's ungodly. They view it as a means to reach more people. I totally respect that. So, enjoy Lon!
