Sunday Blah-Blah-Blah

Another weekend, another Sunday to church shop. We've been around these parts for a few months now and are looking for a community of Christ-followers who are in love with Him.

We've been to a few places where I've come away thinking that was Baptist Blah-Blah-Blah. There was not much indication (to us) that those participating wanted to be there but they certainly knew how to 'do it'. Watching them going through the motions made everything sound like blah-blah-blah to me. Another week we went more pente but I made a decision after the service that I didn't want to go to a church where the worship leader wore boob-busting blouses and appeared to be Dirty Dancing with Jesus!

It's hard and Michael and I have talked about the tension in the process we're going through. In one sense we should be able to worship Christ in any environment. However we are looking for a place in which we're both quite comfortable. So, we sit in seeker-sensitive-seating and exercise all aspects of our judgement on fellow Christ-followers we have never met. Who are we to deliberately walk in 3 minutes late and then critically analyse every sermon, seat and server? At the same time, we WANT to be in church but we're finding it hard to settle there.
