If Worship is Life, Why Are We Not Celebrating More?
Shouldn’t Worship Be a Celebration?
There are moments when I look around me and wonder if people really get it. Sometimes it is in the midst of a worship service with blank expressions and silent voices. At other times it is watching over-stressed, over-scheduled families taking life overly serious. Little joy - mostly routine.
If worship is life (1 Corinthians 10:31), why are we not celebrating more?
Some are altogether comfortable being in familiar places, following familiar routines, and getting familiar results. I think many others long for more freedom, and feel confined because of the worship environment they are a part of on a regular basis.
Worship, to me, feels like this wedding video - unbridled joy garnished with thankfulness, border-line irreverance, and freedom-inspired celebration.

What Are Thin Places?
"Thin Places" are rich in Celtic tradition. They are the places in our lives where the divine and the natural worlds come so close together that we can catch a glimpse of God. For the Celtics these places were very real - places within creation where we could physically go. The Thin Places in our own lives are those moments where the space between us & the Kingdom is thin, when we are introduced to a greater glimpse of Who He is through our experiences and through the stories of others.
