Each week, day or moment we are trying to bring people into the church. As much as we want the church of God to get into the person, the truth is that persons are also bringing the world into the church.
Some people look for balance between the world and church. Some people don't realize that God isn't looking for balance. God is looking for imbalance. God is expecting us to trust Him so much so that the world doesn't even compare. God expects the scales to tip in His favor so much that scales and the world itself tip over.
I wonder sometimes why I don't seek God more and trust my spiritual gifts more. My 11 month old daughter is starting to take her first steps. It is amazing to watch this process. She can stand up with confidence now, but taking the steps is another matter. The steps are being taken gingerly, without the comfortable feeling of footing that is sure and secure. The more she tries, though, the more comfortable she is becoming. Perhaps this is what God expects from us, ... to try more. The more we try to completely tip the scale toward God, the more the scale will tip. It is only a matter of time if we remain true to drawing closer to God...
