THE SIMPLE LIFE

INDESCRIBABLE

So I went to the service last night where Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman & Louie Gigli0 came to Willowcreek to celebrate it's 30th aniversary. For those of you who don't know, Willowcreek is this really huge church out in the boonies (Simon compared it to the Air Canada Center) that's had a really big impact around the world this past little while.

I had gone to visit when everyone came down for Thanksgiving and although the new auditorium wasn't filled on that Sunday, it certainly was filled last night. In fact, every seat in all the balconies were filled. To top it off, their "old" auditorium was filled; as well as the overflow room. It was nuts. I have never been in a place where SO MANY people gathered just to worship our God. It was a very humbling moment.

Have you ever had one of those moments? I get them once in a while on Sundays when I'm at service. I'll be sitting there and suddenly think of my parents, how they're probably at church too...and how many other churches are filled or how many other groups are coming together all around the world to pray to our Lord. How worthy is He! Just the thought fills me with awe. Doesn't it ever make you wonder why we get together? Doesn't it make you want understand who this God is that we worship? What is it about Him that draws so many people and changes so many lives?

I do. And I pray that as I continue to seek Him, that this desire will just burn deeper and stronger. They were saying last night that Willowcreek started out as a small youth group...God sure can do amazing things if we're willing to be used by Him.
