no church for YOU tonight.....

so tonight an interesting thing happened to me....i got turned away from church.....why you may ask???

church was full....yep that's right FULL...too many people.

Now i don't know about your experiences with church lately, but certainly hasn't been one of so many people that we need to turn some away!!! rather the opposite in fact!

Now i would point out that this was no ordinary night at church...Jesus Culture were leading the service and they aren't in Australia all the time so i can understand the many people showing up!

BUT....

it did get me thinking....

I am sure there are places all around the world were there are just too many people to fit in the building....but it doesn't happen often near me. But what we started praying for that....really praying for that? That the streets would be lined with people hungry to know God, and be in his presence together.

I mean people queue for fireworks, concerts, sports games, sales for crying out loud!....why not church.?

what would the world look like if our churches were full to capacity. It would just HAVE to overflow to the streets!

im not getting into big discussions about what makes a good church or if numbers really matter blah blah blah....im just thinking what it would look like if that became a normal thing!?.......
