Burger Bar

So today i was eating diner witha friend at place called buger bar. While seating at the table i started to people watch (something I do well). At the table next to where i was seating was a table of two girls the whole time they were disussing the churches that they each were attending.
I find it interesting that many times i see people and they are discussing the church they attend and i start to pay more attention to the what is said and how the tone and the words.
These girls here tonight where talking about how church in order for it to be true fellowship there must be community and deep fellowship. HOwever over their disscusions i realized that what they were in need of was not fellowship or community but somewhere where they ould do the things they loved with people they love as well.
People need to know that what they are doing is ok and good in the eyes of those they love. Churchfor many people is about finding a place to belong where you are the odd ball but rather the norm. These girls, from what i rathered what fun activities to complete with their friends that went to chruch.
I just have one question about this theory. How are we who are called to be different, called to live out a different life then those around us. HOw can that be seen when we constantly surround ourselves with Chirstians and go to wordly places with Christians and are seen living a life many non christians would lead themselves. what makes me different from the next person? Is church about proving a place for chirstians to meet and hang out and stay or a place for people to learn about God, learn how to live it out and a place to surround themselves with encourgment, so that when the believers go out into the world they are encourgaged they are built up..after chruch going out into the world should be easy. because GOd is with us and wants us to share His word with people. That means going to a place where people may not want to go. We have to be a light even if it is not the cool chirstian thing to do.


these are the thought that through my head everyday....sorry if they are kinda of random.
