I feel the same thing, which is the only reason I feel like I can even comment here. I remember one person saying, we know enough Bible, we need to just put into practice what we have already learned. That statement didn't mean that we didn't need to be in the Word, it just meant that at what point were we actually going to practice the example of Jesus. I do appreciate the the gatherings of Christians, but I have found that I am more often using those occasions to encourage those around me, and finding Jesus in those encounters. The bible started to seem empty to me, not because of the bible itself but because I was continually reading it and not putting it into practice. Loving my enemies, feeding the poor, sharing God's love with the least of these...walking into these areas intentionally has given my spiritual walk teeth now, it's not just about the gathering and the feel good moments.<br />May you continue to seek our Good Father's heart.Tammy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16095921945526413874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16667446.post-30595595782277407242009-10-06T07:02:23.292-06:002009-10-06T07:02:23.292-06:00Sometimes I like to imagine what Jesus would be do...Sometimes I like to imagine what Jesus would be doing and where he would hang out if he was in the flesh with us today. I don't think he'd go to many of the churches or read the books. I imagine he'd be out on the streets, gathering the folks and helping them out.<br /><br />And if he did go into a church, I imagine his message would be "shut up and get busy!!"Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785984092226524603noreply@blogger.com
