For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst — Matthew 18:20
What is Church?
As you can see by the picture I chose this morning, it is definitely not a building, and to help further illustrate my point, I chose a quote from the Bible, which it does, even if you are not a Christian.
Church is when two or more people gather together in a creative spirit, regardless of a location. It can happen in a building designated for religious services, or it can happen in a Casino, and that is where I had Church on Thursday night.
I grew up being taught Judeo-Christian beliefs, and even in their own Bible, it says right there, “where two or three have gathered in My name, I am in the midst of them.” There’s no need for pomp and circumstance, there’s no need massive cathedrals with bigger bells than the “church” down the street, there’s no need for ornate fixtures lined with gold, all there needs to be is a spirit of unity and you have church.
Sanjay invited me this past Thursday down to the Flamingo to hang out in the Diamond Club, because his membership expires this weekend and we wanted to take advantage of all it had to offer. So I did, and we enjoyed free drinks, and a mini-version of a casino buffet. But while we were there, we held Church as he and I do what we enjoy doing most, we discussed the Law of Attraction, and before we knew it, it was time to go. You can always tell when you are in perfect harmony and matching the vibration of the things you are attracting, because you are filled with joy, and time passes by so quickly.
This is my kind of church, this is the kind of church I am willing to put my life on the line for. Not the facades that have done more to damage the spirit of mankind, than to uplift them.
Church can be held at anytime, and should be a joyous occasion. Growing up, my experience was it was held way too early on a Sunday morning, and people walked around in a pious state. I laugh when I think about them walking to the altar with their hands clasped in front of them, and a solemn look on their face, partaking in communion. It was almost as if they regretted their current worshiping choice, but they were locked into a contract. Come on people, it is your spirituality and not a cell phone company.
I enjoy Church, because I have it so often. The people I choose to associate with, which includes family and friends, uplift me, and my spirit. They help me to aspire to a higher calling, they challenge me to become a better person, and inspire me to live my life’s passion, and follow my dreams, and this is why I am grateful for Church.
