Church Shouldn't Suck

"Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.

Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.

In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to those he loves." Psalm 127:1-2

Sure, New York City has some of the most elaborate awe inspiring religious buildings with their grand architecture and magnificent design. Some are historical landmarks and others built to suit the needs of the Park Avenue Elite. But despite their immense beauty, I wonder how spirit filled the worship truly is within those ornate walls and is the exterior much like the attending..all for show?

This time,hand in hand with my partner weeping grateful tears of a woman exalted by Grace that truth became effortlessly crystal clear.

This church is alive with broken bible believing joy filled people crying out for God's relentless mercy and love.

Starting over in a strange land, the praise was powerful, the message pertinent, the worship sincere, the Holy Spirit present, and our new home.... found.

"Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." John 5:19

You still think you can work on you alone?
