Just had a meeting with a professor from George Washington University who is working on a book on the way church and culture interface.
She's attending NCC for a couple of months as part of her research for the project. She told me she hadn't attended church since 1977. She paid us a pretty cool compliment. She said, "It's never boring."
I'm anti-boredom. I think boredom ought to be a four-letter word in church :) Let's change the spelling to boredumb.
I did a message a few years ago and the big idea was never a dull moment. That is what it's like to step out in faith and sell out to Christ. Following Christ is lots of things. But here is one thing it most definitely isn't: boring.
That's my rant for the day!

rant on-
if people are bored with their faith or their life- send them my way...
i can certainly find some interesting and non-boring places for them to go, or some very non-boring issues/problems to tackle in the world :)
maybe Jesus' disciples were tired, maybe even strung out to some extent- but i'm pretty sure that Christ did not allow them to get bored-
