Today, as I was going shopping for the fellowship luncheon, (ha! ha!) that is a fancy way of saying I was shopping for the church meal on Sunday! Then this thought hit me pretty good; there are a bunch of us out there doing His work and yet we are really alone among the masses of people we try to reach. Yep, that is right alone! The blogging is really cool, it bring us together through the web. I see blogging as really cool way to share my heart. I also notice that blogging is becoming a popularity contest. (What a bummer). Who’s Who in the blogging world. I mean whose name is on the “Must Reads” on some sites. Can you feel me in this! I see this maybe becoming a ‘you are in my blog and he is not!’ Sounds like a “camp meeting” or gathering of the boys to me.

My heart is this! I want to communicate with you. I want to have a web fellowship (I like that, web fellowship). It is really powerful to me to know that there is a bunch of us out here desiring change from the traditions that have softened our approach to sharing Jesus to the world. I really don’t care who has the coolest blog! What I care about is knowing that we are doing this evangelism for His Glory and not some political washed up movement that keeps the doors closed to change.

“Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’…”" (Judges 6:13, NKJV)

This is really heavy on my heart. God is not interested in dynasties, He is interested in faithfulness. He is not interested in the who is cool this week, He is interested in how we are preparing the hearts for His coming. Tradition really is a “fat belly” to me! I just want to tell everyone that there is a God of love! He is a promise giver and keeper. He is the God of miracles! My prayer lately has been this: “I want to see you, Oh God, of the miraculous! I want to see you now!”

Hear is question: Do you think He shows up to these meetings we attend? I don’t! Not in the miraculous or the power that I read about in the Word. Tradition reminds me of Thanksgiving, we just do it but we have forgotten what it is really all about. Be radical and start moving where God is, He is moving and calling us to follow Him into this world of darkness. Get bold and “kick” tradition out of the house and invite Jesus in!

I really don’t care what blog list I am on, what I care about is am I on God’s “cool reads”

Peace
