of it this way.
Chapel was good this morning (that is already something that is not normal....). They guy that spoke was a NGU grad that leads worship at a church in Greenwood. I really liked what he had to say.
He spoke from the passage in Revelation where Jesus says that He stands at the door and knocks. Tod (the speaker), mentioned that the passage was commonly used by evangelists during the invitation. They say something like, "Jesus is standing at the door of your heart knocking.... just let him in."
The problem with that statement is simple, but something that never came to my mind. He is writing a letter to the Christians, not lost people. The verse is in the middle of the letter to the church in Laodicea. He is talking to the Christians in the church
That got me thinking. What if we are not letting Jesus into our churches? What if we are lukewarm, and trying to do it all on our own?
What would happen if we let Jesus in our churches?
We may do things a little (lot) differently.
