the Church is God's Bride. and i feel like we are slowly starting to loose the meaning of Church. and im not trying to bash on any one but it is a pet peeve of mine and it bugs the mess out of me when a church allows you to pull out your phones and look up your notes or your Bible. im sorry if i step on any ones toes that might read this but have phones really taken over so much of our life that it is replacing the BIBLE. that we cant even take a piece of paper and pen and write down what God is speaking into us. if it is speaking into our hearts we should not have to have it on our phone that we keep with us 24/7. and even know mine does nothing but make calls and text i am guilty of this also. phones have become our safety net but what if the Bible became or safety net. what if we carried it around ..and when we felt awkward we can read it in stead of reading a text or looking up something. or if we feel unsafe...instead of fake calling why not pray and open up the Bible and let God comfort you. it makes me sick to think that technology has taken over like it has. it gives us reason to make the Church a comfortable place. to make things convenient for you. but God has not called us to be comfortable. He has called us to daily make sacrifices for Him. and if that means leaving your phone in the car for a few hours or not worrying about how the stage looks because we want to attract people or how the music has to be PERFECT. because really none of that should matter. what should attract people is the way we live. the way we present our selfs to one another. not if our stage looks cool or we use our iphones or if our music sounds legit. who cares what the stage looks like, just as long as i am getting fed, i will be much more attracted and interested. worry about speaking into some ones heart not what is pleasing to their eyes. eyes can deceive. the heart is what is most effected. we are people, living breathing human beings with a heart... i want to be touched and loved, i want to learn and grow, i want to be inspired and encouraged. those things you worry about to make it look attracted dont matter... they will never do those things for me. but you. your heart and your compassion to me will. lets start worrying about how we treat and effect other people instead of the looks. a person should be so after Gods heart, seeking Him every second that in our daily life we dont have to go to church to hear and learn how to save people. we should already know from our personal time spent with our King. 

Church should be the place where we can come together and know that there will always be darkness as long as satan is around but because of our Almighty King there is light and He has blessed us with each other to encourage and help grow and learn. to speak through each other. it should be a time that we can worship together and learn more about all the wonderful things that He has written for us in His amazing love letter and to come together and agree and pray. two are better then one He says. and a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
