If it ain’t broke…
Sometimes in the church, even the multiethnic church, we have the mentality that if it ain’t broke, then don’t fix it. But I think you can see the potential danger in this.
Just because there aren’t complaints, riots, or angry congregational members coming up to you after the service doesn’t mean we living these great holy lives.
Can we be honest with ourselves here?
Can we be honest with God?
Could pride be the reason we’re not willing to really let God convict our hearts?
Psalm 90:8 says: You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
I have to admit that I’m being a bit arrogant and prideful about this multicultural worship/church thing. Part of me wants to go around and shake people and say, “WHY DON’T YOU GET IT!??!?!!”
And sometimes this includes people in my own church, but I know that’s not the way to go about it.
I realize I can’t rush God’s plans with this movement, nor can I convict people’s hearts. I just have to be patient, pray, and trust God’s going to work it all out for His glory.
Why should I feel like I’m better than everyone else? There’s just no rhyme or reason for that.
The multiethnic church is modeled right there…staring at us from the bible. And so is the truth.
Won’t you join me in reading about, seeking out, and living out the truth?
Share your story and your life…
