Sunday at the building we own!

We have a Sunday morning service where there is singing and preaching and fellowship!
My expectation for that service is that if we are going to worship then we should do it extravagantly!
Why are there more smiles and laughing after the service is over? We extravagantly love each other and each other’s company. (Fellowship).
Why don’t people go to the prayer meetings?
Prayer and worship are hard things to do. Maybe it’s too easy to “go to church”! Maybe that’s why so many people feel free to go to that service because they’re not challenged to break out of their comfort zone and worship extravagantly! Maybe were trying to entertain them with good sound and good music but I don’t think that is important.
My God is big, all-powerful, all knowing, all everything. He can create everything from nothing. His words are complete and new every day. He is the great everything! Greater than me, greater than the world, greater than the space in-between the stars. Those attributes alone deserve our most extravagant praise and those things should inspire us at the deepest and highest level to fall on our faces or scale mountains or die horrible deaths a million times over just to express our love for Him.
Then there are the true mysteries like grace, the understanding or even just the knowledge that this is what it is should overcome and destroy us. By destroy I mean make us useless for anything other than complete adoration.
Ok you say but I worship God in other ways. Well I say if the morning service is so important to our churches worship life and we’ve decided that music or whatever is how we worship as a body then should it be anything less than total devotion and complete abandonment? When I attend it doesn’t look like that at all. There are more sad faces than happy ones. And you might say how can you judge others way of worshiping? Ok I say fair point but look into it, is it true that we are indifferent in that forum (Sunday morning services).
In all this I include myself. I’m crap I don’t break through and worship extravagantly at all! But I will, IV decided! But you have to know that the reason it’s hard for me is because for one I’m scared. God might ask me to scream or shout His name or the thought of Him dying on the cross for me might send me to my face in sobs. And I’m afraid of what people might think, that’s my insecurity and my curse to deal with, ill wear that. But on that thought should I feel like that with my church? Is some of that fear some of us feel the churches responsibility? Is our expectation meant to be relative to our frame of reference? By that I mean is our expectation meant to be corporate in that setting, unified, one mind, one body of believers. Some say no but I say yes! God is worthy of our complete abandonment of fear of man, the desire of looking cool or tiredness or anything that would hold us back from a beautiful display of Love for our Good Father.

I’m tired I want to go Home! I want to love God more. Love God more? Could you love you love your wife more or your girlfriend or your mum or your friend? Yes, by going beyond what you want or how you feel or tradition or mindsets to serve them better and express to them in a greater way in all ways how much you appreciate them, how much you adore them and how much they mean to you. We always want more love from people it’s the cause of the most problems in relationships. Imagine how much God deserves! Do I give Him enough? NO. But I don’t want to do it because I need to or because it tradition or because I want something in return but purely as He loves me! Because He’s the best, and I believe it with all my heart. I do believe it with all my heart. And that’s why I hate Sunday at the building we own! My God is not emotionless, monotone, grey or clouded! He’s beautiful and radiant and colourful and full of emotion and passion. The thing is, that all these things He is full of, He is full of for us. And that is reason to be loud and passionate. And quiet as well.
