Another Sunday, A Church Revisit

Since we have narrowed out church selection to three churches, we visited church number three this morning. It wasn’t bad. Although the service we go to uses what they call “praise and worship” music instead of more traditional hymns, they actually sang a hymn this morning. But when they have a band, hymns don’t sound quite the same

At the start of the service the pastor had a little difficulty bringing the service to order. I felt like he needed a gavel.

They sang the song “Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord.” In that song, there is the phrase, “I want to see you. I want to see you.” Whenever I hear that, I think to myself, “No you don’t.” Read the Old Testament. In there Moses request the Lord to let him see him. The Lord is very empathic that he will not. He tells Moses that he cannot see the Lord and live. In the end, he lets Moses see his back. The person that wrote that song did not think very clearly about what he was saying. You do NOT want to see the Lord.
