i love my wife

i love my wife.  and i know that Jesus loves his bride.  i don't want to talk badly about anyone's wife - especially if they're married to Jesus.  with that said, many of us look around at this christian life we're living and we know that there has to be something more.  like we're missing something.  for some of us, this leads to talking bad about Jesus' wife (the church).  but i got to wondering... maybe there isn't something more.  maybe... just maybe... there is something less.

is it possible that a lot of stuff has been added over the years?  maybe even stuff that in and of itself isn't bad?

is it possible that worship isn't about the music?  is it possible that God doesn't worry about the music nearly as much as we do?

is it possible that in our desire to worship God we have gotten off track?

is it possible that, in our desire to improve, we have added just enough flavors and preservatives that we altered the receipt?  don't get me wrong... it's still edible (sometimes even good) and feeds people.  BUT, what would it taste like to get ahold of the original, stripped down, back to basics receipt?  how much better does it taste?  how much more does it satisfy?

is it possible that Jesus' yoke... his burden... really is light?

i think so.
