I spent the entire weekend at a swim meet in Winston Salem, NC. Those of you who know me well, know that this is a fairly regular occurence. Both of my kids swim competitively and we get to go all over the place to watch them. One of the best parts of the meets (other than the cramped, hot pool deck and crowded metal bleachers) is the fellowship we have with other swim parents. We share each others concerns, help keep track of gear and share everything from goggles to meals together.
It reminded me of what the Church was designed to be. Not a building with beautiful stained glass and choirs, but a gathering of link minded people with a common goal (intimacy with Christ). The first century church was all about getting together and sharing, helping and just enjoying the fellowship of other believers. They shared tips on how to spread the Word. How awesome would it be if we really returned to that.
What would happen if we were as passionate about following Christ as we are about sports, dance, or other activities?
