I'm not a morning person. At all. And sometimes I stay up later then I should on Saturday nights. So in an effort not to be "praying" the whole sermon I take a caffine pill. Some people need a cup of coffee in the morning. I don't drink coffee so I take a pill, it's like a cup of coffee. I'm human ok? Ok.
Sunday Morning Confession 2: I take my shoes off in church....
It's true. I come in wearing shoes, I leave wearing shoes, but most of the time in between they are off. Some people may find that offensive, but why? A) sometime my shoes hurt, and I'd rather worship without thinking about how much my feet hurt. B) God told Moses to take his shoes off on holy ground and if church isn't holy ground then what is?
Sunday Morning Confession 3: Worship is my favorite part of church...
Some messages touch me more then others, or I learn more at one church then another. But worship is always the same day to day, church to church. Music moves me more than words can. Singing to my God is amazing. :)
Sunday Morning Confession 4: I wish churches played Shane & Shane more...
If I'm not in the mood to worship they sure put me in the mood. I love the words to their songs. They can be so personal and applicable to anyone. I own their Clean CD and it never gets old. (Listening to them as I write this. ;))
Sunday Morning Confession 5: There are more idols in our life then we realize...
Today's sermon was on idols and how idolatry is absolutely ridiculous because our God is absolutely unique. Two quotes that really stuck out to me are by Tim Keller:
"An idol is anything that is more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning in life, or identity....So idols are not bad things; they are really good things into ultimate things."
The idols in my life may not be money, power, or greed; they could be something as simple as other people, music, or what I want to do with my life.
So what good things in your life have you made an idol?
Music, writing, making movies... There's a laundry list. It's very difficult not to. I do my best to ensure God is injected into each one but there are days that it just doesn't happen that way.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I think pride or self is honestly the biggest struggle for me. I'm not narcissistic like House, but I do dream and crave and desire. Sometimes they're little things, but things i know i'd be better off without. Other times, they're huge, like wanting my own plans for my future, instead of His and I honestly struggle to let go. Just some thoughts lol...
