Witnessing reality

Today I sat in an unfamiliar place, listening to a pastor I've never meet before. By the looks of the interior, it appeared to be the typical small town church. A glowing backlit cross center stage, pews covered in a orangish brown (70's) cloth. There was nothing physically that struck me, or which set the church apart.


After the service my prior conceptions were in dissolution. Despite the buildings appearance, I had witnessed something I don't see much of anymore. Beyond even the message and worship there was something glorious. I saw the reality of belief in people's eyes. Ordinary people praying boldly for one another and worshiping like the person they were singing to listens. Oh how rare this is..............
