Time out for church as usual

Occupying a seat in church is a waste of time. Stop the ritual. Stop the usual. It's time out for the same old same old. I find myself yearning for more and I know there is more out there. We assemble together in Gods house to be enriched, encouraged, exhorted, uplifted, instructed and to gain knowledge to continue in the race. And this is a race. The race of our lives. A race of endurance to the finish line. So since we are engaged in a long distance race of spiritual survival, there is nourishments we need to seek on our own as we gain understanding of God's will and purpose for our lives. But when we gather together as a body of believers we are seeking sustenance and nourishment for the journey. It's time out for a casual relationship with God and it's definitely time out for "regular" church. We are living in a time where our survival requires more. More of ourselves, more of a commitment and more revelation from God. If it's church as usual, it's a waste. God is looking for a gathering of believers looking for, expecting and willing to give and receive more. So let's gather together with purpose and not habit.
