…but, aren’t benches made for sitting, aren’t pews made for comfort, aren’t dry walls made for isolation or heat retention, aren’t church serve(ices) made for soothing the conscience and offering plates to build castles…
NO!!! benches are made for marking declarations on (see above), we’ve sat for too long!!!
pews for discomfort…dry walls should not retain the FIRE that burns within our hearts,
church services should not soothe us into inaction, and offering plates should be a direct deposit into the lives of the orphan and the widow, the trafficked and the homeless, the sick and the forgotten, the LEAST OF THESE!!!
Will you allow the Holy Spirit to be your COMFORTer, or will you settle for the comfort of church as usual, for pastors that are more interested in giving the church a MASSAGE that feels good rather than a MESSAGE that AWAKENS the greatness within you, that translates into a world feeling GOD!
I introduce you to Team SHABACH, young men and women who have purposed to find comfort in the HOLY SPIRIT, to abandon convenience for service…who will for GOD to use every last drop of their existence to bring GLORY to HIS name!!!
7 How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news,
who proclaim peace,
who bring good tidings,
who proclaim salvation,
who say to Zion,
“Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:7
