I’m troubled

here’s a thought i’m having this morning…

we are witnessing the proliferation of “event” christianity…the incessant need to be part of the event crowd, watching the show…led by the gifted, the talented, the anointed, the charismatic, the experts.  there seems to be an almost uncontrolled investment in this kind of spirituality.

there is no doubt that we live in an “even” culture.  football games, rock concerts, movie openings…you name it.  but why does it have to spill over to god’s family?

we pay large sums of money…spend large amounts of time…invest large amounts of energy…building, creating, refining, watching, participating in, promoting, marketing, running, these events.  the faithful seem to define their spirituality by being at these events.  i’m troubled.
