Last night I traveled to Brooklyn to attend the Tuesday evening prayer service at the Brooklyn Tabernacle. If you've never been I would encourage you to go sometime. The service was incredible and just what I needed.
What impresses me the most is the sheer simplicity of what they do. They come to worship and pray...that's it. There's no printed agenda with a detailed list of items to be check marked off...just worship and prayer.
I've been on several other occasions, and each time I leave knowing that I've experienced God. Perhaps that's why the doors open at 5:00PM and by 7:00PM the place is jam packed.
I left with a couple of observations...simple, but powerful thoughts:
1. There's an extremely high level of expectation on the part of the congregation, and:
2. The leadership does an incredible job of cultivating an environment for the Holy Spirit to move.
Isn't that what church should be about? People come expecting and God works in their lives in ways that only God can work!
May it be so at Christian Life Center.
