Fun at Church...
I bet the above video fits into the category of "things I never thought I'd see at a church". This video was one of the most popular youtube video's of 2009. While I appreciate the choreography and creativity, I find it odd that this type of stuff is so foreign to the church. When people think of church, they think of sitting in a pew fighting off the urge to sleep while someone tells you how you should live and how you need to change. That's not what church is all about.
Jesus was a fun guy. We have him on record turning water into wine and hosting quite possibly the largest fish fry on record. If we go back further, we find a call for us to worship God with singing and dancing (Psalm's 149 & 150). Scripture tells of God working crazy miracles where donkey's talk, people dance in fire, and others walk on water. God is not a boring God. God has fun. We should to.
If church is not fun for you, I pray that you find a place where it is fun. Where you can celebrate and dance. Where you can worship with your all. Someplace where God is experienced. And, for God's sake, someplace that keeps you awake.
