The Light in the darkness

Today at church when we walked in, all the lights were off. There were maybe a couple wall sconces that were on but over all it was practically pitch black. Mom and I had no idea what was going on along with most of the congregation. We thought perhaps they were trying to set the mood for the message or something. Ushers walked about with flashlights and the band was setting up their acoustic guitars and bongo drums. We soon realized that there was no electricity at all throughout the entire complex. It was Church Unplugged. :) They began bringing out candleabras to set up infront of the altar and the choir began to sing. We sang songs that any normal church goer would know and it felt like an old fashioned revival or as if we were all gathered around at a big bonfire. It was great. It was nice to get down to the basis and just worship God. No distractions from anything and just getting back to 'the heart of worship. hehehe. It was awesome. Then Pastor George came out and gave us a message from God. It came from 1 Corinthians 14:33, "God is not the author of confusion, but of peace." Even though what the devil meant for evil, God meant for good. We were in the darkness, but we were in the Light. So basically the message was about not being confused. We have all the wisdom we need through Christ we just have to claim it. No more saying, "I'm so confused." Yay Wisdom through Jesus! Woot!
