Church

Today in worship a man got up to deliver an anouncement and asked the following question, "How long has it been since you last felt the spirit of the Lord?" He spoke with a very monotone voice, no emphasis, just added volume and tremendous projection. But there was no enthusiasm to be heard as he spoke to us about revival and sunday school stuff. The very next anouncement was by a different man, with a different style. "What do you all think of when you think of great sports legends?" Then one lady shouted out "LONGBRANCH VOLLEYBALL!!!"

My friend Kale later remarked to me that it was kind of amusing that more people in the congregation were excited about playing volleyball than having a revival service. He found it amusing, I found it to be very much a large piece of proof that we, christians, when acting as we, the church, seem to want to leave spirituality out of our spiritual lives. I'm not attempting to speak against fellowship and fun times with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, such as church volleyball, I am wanting to understand why we don't seem to care about reviving the life force (the Holy Spirit) within us that allows us life (Spirtual, Eternal Life).
