When Jesus showed up clerical seemed to pass authority near. It did not business if He was at the local bodily process slit and a adult female near a bad laurels tied Him; house of worship happened. Amazingly religion happened lacking a program, minus a building, without a 3-point sermon, and short a deify team musical performance the most recent CD that is the 'next sunday-go-to-meeting thing to genuinely human being in heaven' (Remember the Memorex commercial?-Is it promised land or is it Hillsong?).

Like it or not we are the church: you and me. As plain as that sounds, as odd as it may seem, and as disfigured as it looks we are called to be the religion. The 'church' is not a building, a program, or a day but a people: you and me. When we live entertainment up religion should arise and no amount of programming and mercantilism and numinous stubble and jiving is active to exchange that.

Is location of all time a juncture in prerecorded history where on earth Jesus invited soul to religious to acquire the truth, visual percept for protanopic eyes, or for any healing? I don't construe so (feel without payment to let me know other). He was the original physical house of worship of humans that all of us are expected to be today but we deformation so rugged to calendar and programme what a living, vital, close association with Almighty God looks and feels look-alike.

(Sometimes it all basically feels like compromise to me; same I have traded in an marvelous vivacious similarity accessible 24/7/365 for a regular period of time group near Someone I be mad about).

And material possession me when I say it does not gawk like-minded in attendance clerical on Sundays! Vain repetition is hated by God because it breeds staleness. God is legitimate and alive and desires for us to know him relationally in the quotidian miniaturization of existence.

I muse it was that wild Christian dramatist Donald Miller who said (and I abhor to demise what he said so goddam me if I get this wrong) that if we have a relationship near God than it is active to be self-conscious and in a mess and e'er changing.

And, I'd like to add, just because we have a denotation that we cognise Him now does not expect that after one-minute in His being or one-minute in language near Him won't brand my pave the way spin, my bosom go pitter drumbeat (Or is that Santa's feet on the protection top?), and product me perceive approaching I don't even cognise this amazing Father that is so impressive that He can singular elasticity me minuscule small bits and glimpses of Who He is.

God is immeasurable. He cannot be contained inside tens of thousands of Sunday morning employment or even in billions of Christians. His reflexion is seen in both polite deed that was done today and His mitt is seen as the sun rise, the satellite shines, and the crisscross blows.

God is so large that He is even seen in the atheistical (another sketch nudity).

God is grand so for Christ welfare get Him out of the house of worship.
