Worship overflow

Spent this morning watching a Carl Medearis video and a bit of some of favourite Hillsong YouTube clips. Having now happily settling into the British charismatic church for a few years I wonder does our exuberant worship overflow onto the streets? Does it make us love our enemies and change this broken world as suggested by Carl? Sometimes I look at my own life and doubt it. But then looking at my own church and recent initiatives with running the 10k, a single parents fair and the ever popular Noise projects I think there is hope! Hope for my church to let our worship change us, but as an individual...? What does that look like?

Brilliant. I love that yet another person I know has entered the blogosphere and warmly welcome you into my online community... if you want in that is! :-)

I think that as we corporately worship it affects all parts of "the body" as it were. When we get involved (in the practical stuff and the intimate charismaticky things too) it, or rather God, changes us and that looks like a whole load of different things depending on our unique creation. Actual music and dancing in the streets, metaphorical music and dancing everywhere. Hope-filled Europop and a flood of joy in the water industry. Though it really isn't about doing those things extraneously from the family. Eye, foot, ear, nose, tooth etc...

Make sense?

P.S. Chris Harlow should get a blog next. Then he can tell us what a world of knowledge really is...
