things that make you go hmm...

i tend to keep this blog lighthearted and avoid too much seriousness. not b/c i never encounter serious moments or have serious things to say, but i tend to ramble incoherently when i try to blog about big ideas or thoughts or convictions or life lessons. thus i end up with posts that merely say that im pissed about having fleas in my house. simple, to the point, of no significance to you, the reader.

well heres my serious thought for the week, month, what have you. i heard, what i feel to possibly be, one of the best sermons ive ever heard in my life last sunday. so good that i really encourage you to go to this link and listen to the sermon entitled "What is pure and undefiled worship?" sure, it'll take some effort and about 34 minutes of your time but honestly it's so good. there were many different points that it touched on that really impacted me. but one thing specifically was a part where the pastor was talking about a book he read and a specific quote that struck him. i don't know it verbatim but the author basically said that he felt like sometime ago we stopped living christianity and simply started studying it. and i think hearing the rest of the sermon in context definitely makes this more significant so i really urge you to listen to it. it's powerful, convicting, and honestly a message that i think any and every christian should hear.
