I Didn’t Come to Church for Coffee…

I didn’t come to church for coffee…

 I came for prayer.

In all of this entertainment... 

Is God still there?

I didn’t come for a latte stand... 

Or for a couch to sit in.

I came to meet a God who

 can take away my sin!

I came to spend time with God.

 I don’t mean to be rude.

But in all this kind of “excitement.”

 I’m not in the mood .

I have a need.  I just someone to

 simply listen.

Everyone’s “too busy” in doing what

they feel is “God’s mission.”

Nothing here in this building really

 get’s me “excited.”

If I wanted to...   A “trip to Las Vegas,” 

could be provided.

I came to meet Jesus.  His presence

 is powerful and relevant.

I need his touch right now.  This is so evident!

Jesus said his house; “is a house of prayer.”

 “Not a den of thieves.”

From what I see here…

  Is this what everyone believes?

I will seek his direction. 

Wherever he may lead me!

Even if thus church

 doesn’t receive me!

I come to YOU God.! You are filled with

holiness and great power!

Behold the Lord God… 

Could come THIS VERY HOUR!
