Church for the people or just a tomb?



Well my recovery is slow, still have headaches. Today I was on a site and I looked at all the prayer requests that people had put. There are so many people crying out for help, just barely holding on. I ask the question that my now ex father in law asked years ago where is the church when you need them? I have been told the church is not there to meet our needs. I hear that, but I have to question that if you cannot turn in a time of need to a church where are the people suppose to go. I wrote to a Pastor I had meet a year ago and asked for him to be praying he quickly replied. I was taken back to be honest. There are many wonderful church buildings throughout this world and I have been graced and blessed to see some of them. However what is a building unless the people reach out of it. It is just bricks no different than the temples in the Bible that had people bartering in them, we may not have barters but we have people self centered. I am not saying all. But if we are to reach the world perhaps it is in us reaching the very needs to those who cry in the halls of the churches we sit in.
After all, are we just a church building or a cold empty tomb.
It is just a thought.
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
