I have shared this with my church, and my friends and family. I want to share this with all of you as well.
Last week, I had an awesome dream. I drempt that I was in a stadium- like a baseball stadium, except that it was church. The place was filled to capacity. The people on the field were worshipping God in all forms- singing, bowing with hands raised, you name it. I was so moved, that I wanted to worship too- so I got down on my knees and raised my hands, and the woman sitting next to me said, " we don't do anything. we just sit and watch." But I wanted too so bad, and so I continued, and a few(VERY FEW) others saw and did the same thing. Then the Lord spoke, and said, baseball is much like being a Christian. You can be a fan or a player. There are few players, and many fans. Being a fan does not make you a player, even if you know the rules, and the terminology, and love the game. you can cheer on the players all you like, but it only makes you a FAN. Are you a Christian, or a fan of Christianity? Then he told me to look around at all of the fans. There were so many, and so few players on the field. So it is with our church and people in the pews. So many fans, so little players. So the question today is, Are you a Christian, or a fan of Christianity?
