seems to be blogging day today!
Mark and I were talking the other day about how lots of Christians seem to get hooked on the emotional high that can sometimes come from a really good worship band or a festival. We were both a bit concerned that being a Christian isn't about that - its' about a relationship with God, an attempt to live your life the way it was meant to be lived, a constant learning experience, etc.
Believing that the only time you're close to God is when you 'feel his presence' through worship songs (not that that doesn't happen, I'd just argue that its more likely to be an emotional high), means that when the music somewhere isn't good you think God is far away.
Interestingly I was scrolling through the cartoons on ASBO Jesus and found this one. I thought it was pretty telling.
