Blast From The Past

We’ve been going to a church in the evenings on Sunday for a few weeks now. The music is always wonderful, the preaching great, and we meet up with friends and worship together. Tonight started with a song we haven’t sung for a long time.

It was a bit of a nudge from another era in our lives. You know how you can start with fire and energy, but life sandpapers off the rough edges, and quietens down the flames? That’s not necessarily a bad thing… you need a bit of maturity and steadiness over time. Sometimes it’s good to recapture a bit of that youthful exuberance, though – the leaping past fear into an uncertain future. Tonight was almost like a voice at my shoulder saying, “What have you forgotten? Turn, and look again…”

This morning’s sermon was about prophecy – forthtelling, encouraging and edifying others. This evening’s was about hungering and thirsting for God. There’s been some good meals today!
