Hosanna

This week at Southern Wesleyan it was Spiritual Emphasis. Over the last few years I have attended many services for Spiritual Emphasis, but none have spoken to me like this year's. The band did the song "Hosanna" two nights that I was there. The lines in the song that say, "Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen, show me how to love like you have loved me, break my heart for what breaks yours, everything I am for your kingdoms cause." WOW! What a dangerous prayer that is! As I sang those words I realized that is what needs to e the prayer of the church! Many times I feel like the church is inward focused instead of outward! My prayer is that I would be more worried about the dying world around me rather than silly details that many church people worry over!
