Real and Spectactular

She's a desperate housewife.

She was Lois opposite of Dean Cain's character Clark. She was real and spectacular on a Seinfeld episode. She's worked with Sly Stallone, Kurt Russsell, had a GMC motorhome. A Bond girl, wife, and mother. I would always joke with my wife, if I weren't married, there's always...Teri Hatcher.

Just because I know about her does not equate to having a relationship with her does it? And no, I'm not a stalker. Here's the thing; for so many years, churches have been all about sitting in lines, learning about God, reading about Him, studying accounts of Him in the Bible...The primary focus has been teaching and discipleship, many times at a cost of the development of a personal and intimate relationship with God. This has resulted in a form of religion, but one without much power. I have known people who can quote a Bible verse as fluently as I can spout about Ms Hatcher.

In the early church, the rabbi was there primarily for quality control, not as the primary teacher and speaker. He did not even address the people from an elevated platform. The whole congregation was in a more circular format, each sharing what they believed God was saying. The focus was on the power of God working through each individual, to have a real and spectacular relationship with the God of the universe. Circles better than lines...I get that.
