the underground is breaking through,

the church i go to in dublin(core) is cool, and has some very talented worship leaders/ musicans, i often feel totally priveledged just to be there. But i suppose sometimes I like to say, this is a "worship church" so the teaching isnt so good and this is a "preaching church" where the worship is dry but the word is always sport on.

and i had once or twice slated the teach at this church... but yesterday, hold on till your seatbelts cause you are in for a ride.. the fill in leader and then the worship leader in the evening rocked the joint... i will post links to the mp3s of what they said when they get them online but this was serious... radical calls to discipleship uncomfortable words to make me squirm and feel uneasy... briefly the challenge was not to be a "vampire christian":

"ill take a little of you blood jesus, but i dont want to be your student, dont want to learn your character, just leave me alone and ill see you in heave"
is this who we are? is eterinty with someone we didnt really want to spend much time with what we want?

but a disciple:
"someone who is learning from Jesus, how Jesus would be living your life, if He was in your shoes" not quite the exact quote but i think its the vibe.

and just to add to the head wreckin beauty of this
