Therefore when we come together in our places of worship as people who claim to be followers of Jesus, this is NOT just another weekend event, or 'thing we do' for God. You see here's perhaps something to evaluate: maybe it's not so much about being led into God's presence as a congregation because God is already there, but it's about if we will bring ourselves into God's presence as individuals within the corporate worship and respond to His working in our lives in praise and adoration.

Are you there God? It's me, Carolyn. I was raised Catholic, and like most people my age who were raised Catholic I no longer attend church on Sundays.

Interestingly, this parent's approach to religion is very similar to more and more people in the world. If we, who believe in God, don't understand these folks, we will never be able to have a meaningful conversation with them.

When was the last time you took the time to just sit and do nothing? Waiting in line, at a traffic light, or for a medical appointment doesn’t count. Seriously, when was the last time you walked into a room, sat down, and did nothing - for awhile? Scheduled, or unscheduled? Or, when was the last time you went for a walk on the beach, a stroll through the woods, or sat on an isolated hilltop? If an example doesn’t leap out at you, stop, think about it for a minute, and try to remember the last time.

"The irony is, I wouldn’t want to defend the Christianity by which the New Atheists are so outraged. I’m outraged by it, too.”
"Fortunately, the popular conception of Christianity isn’t Christianity. Unfortunately, apparently most people don’t know that."
