Lately i have been feeling restless.

I find it hard to explain.

I was on a Mission trip back in July, i was over in Philly.

I spent alot of time in community with other Christians, eatting, praying, singing, reading, sleeping, washing and serving God in a School.

We ran a Hoilday Club for two weeks, we taught the kids about the Kingdom of God.

We played games, we sang, we eat, we laughed, we cryed, we prayed.
I miss all that!

I miss being in the Kingdom of God!

Mission Work has become a part time experience!

Some say when your at home that is your mission field?

Not for me! That is my Hell!

Im home, work is boring, Church life is not church life!

What do i mean? Church life is not church life?

Well, Church is work! another means to pass the time and roll on the weekend.

Its sad that i actually do mean this! I am not going to lie.

I have had enough of Church.

I love my Ministers, but i dont love the Traditions, it aint biblical.

But we can talk about that another time.

Back to why i am Restless.

The Experience of Philly was something amazing, it was the most happy time in my life. I just felt so closeto God. I really truly believed i was living the bible when i was there. For me i felt like a Monk! No jokei really thought i was one of those early Monk dudes, living and breathing Gods love.

I see now what Shane Cailbourne talks about living as the Christ Jesus Lived. Living part of the Kingdom.

The modern day christian has for me forgotten its roots!

We talk bible, but we just dont live it!

We talk Jesus, but we just act like him!

We talk forgiveness, but we dont forgive!

We go and break bread and drink of the cup, but we dont remember why!

It has become Tradition!

Sunday comes, up and eat breakfast and wash.

We put on our jeans and t-shirt and shoes.

We go to church, sing, listen to the preacher, pray then come home and eat, then repeat that evening!

What is it all about?

It is just a routine!

It is a boring Routine!

ARE IS IT?

Are we meant to actually go into the pubs, clubs, street corners, coffee houses?

Are we meant to actually bring the church to the broken, the forgotten, the poor, the hurting?

Are we meant to be LIKE JESUS?

I am tinkling all over right now typing this...

I have been wanting to type this for a long time....

I have become RESTLESS of CHURCH!

God forgives us for making you Church into a den of crooks! teach us to go into the World and Church the World.

May we the body of Christ go into the pubs, clubs, the street corners.

May we not Grow Restless

May we grow Spiritually Strong For Gods Name Sake!

Teach Us Father
