Stephen Cole Worship

So…..I recently attended the U2 concert and ,can I say, it was the best concert I have ever been to in my LIFE! The excitement and energy was unbelievable! I’m not a real fan of the Black Eyed Peas but they put on a show and I was so engaged that I started dancing all over the place! ha! While standing in line people kept talking about how excited they were to get in the door. Countless people including myself were like ” I can’t believe I’m here seeing U2 right now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!”.

At the end of the concert I got in my car and was all jacked up. I mean, these people all came here expecting great things to happen. I’m pretty sure the majority of them didn’t show up late and just stand there and be like “Cool, now i can check that off my list.” THEY WERE EXCITED! Why isn’t it like that at church? Why can’t we be that excited about showing up every Saturday or Sunday? Why can’t we show up expecting something amazing to happen? See, U2 is great. But nothing is greater than an encounter with Christ! He has the biggest show of all! The stars,clouds, mountains, animals, and everything on earth are his staging. His voice comes in thunder and rushing winds. He needs no encore because he never leaves.

The leather pants are winning. Although some are getting it in the church, hundreds of thousands are still more excited about a band than the Creator of “the band” and all things on this earth. Makes me sad, but stirs me to lead strong and encourage others to worship in what ever capacity that may be (song, serving,etc.) with EVERYTHING they have. Don’t get me wrong, I love U2. But I want my excitement to be about God. I want to forever say ” I can’t believe I’m here seeing God right now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!”.
