Western Worship
Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like the Western church is in a bubble?
We've got ISIS storming towns, brutally murdering innocent people, we've got people in North Korea being sent to prison camps for their faith, we've got millions in the 3rd world starving and thirsting and dying of HIV.. And we are going to church, Sunday by Sunday, in our suits and comfortable cars, hearing sermons that make us feel warm and fuzzy inside without really making us feel uncomfortable.. singing songs and letting the words come out of our mouths but not letting them penetrate our hearts..
It all feels a bit wrong to me. I don't know how I can fix it.. How do we empathise with our brothers and sisters all over the world who are suffering? How do we seek God's face and plead for him to intervene? How do we act to change things whenever the problem is just too huge and we can't? How should these tragedies all over the world shape our worship? How do we do all of this when we are simply too comfortable?
