Christians having a good time?

Why is it that so many people inside and outside the church think that Christians don't have much fun?

Maybe it's because we don't have enough of it???

 

Sunday night was a little different - here at FBC.  We pulled out the lawn chairs and spread out the food (and thanks to the Gulf breeze, we didn't have to swat at flies).  We had a great time and enjoyed the musical stylings of the Hwy 63 Bluegrass Band (in the words of our esteemed Scott Sullivan, "That's the kind of music they'll have in Heaven").  We had a stellar crowd, and everyone had LOTS of fun!

 

But it got me to thinking (Yes, I know - that's a dangerous thing)...

 

Why don't we do more of that?  Why do we always seem to wait until someone or some committee plans out a "fellowship"?

 

We all enjoy the kind of "fellowship" that can only come through Christ, so let's do more of it.  And it doesn't have to include a 4-course meal (though, if you want to do that, my number is in the book).  Let's spend more time together - talking - drinking a cup of coffee together - playing a board game - whatever.

 

Fellowship - it's not just an event on the calendar.  It's a way of living the Christian life.
