Enough

The roof is low, and one light bulb dangles from the middle of the ceiling as the sole source of illumination.  No sound system.  No band.  No guitar.  No entertainment.  No cushioned chairs.  No heated or air-conditioned building.  Nothing but the people of God and the Word of God.  And strangely, that's enough.

God's word is enough for million of believers who gather in house churches just like this one.  His word is enough for millions of other believers who huddle in African jungles, South American rain forests, and Middle Eastern cities.

But is his Word enough for us?
This is the question that often haunts me when I stand before a crowd of thousands of people in the church I pastor.

What if we take away the cool music and the cushioned chairs?  What if the screens are gone and the stage is no longer decorated?  What if they air conditioning is off and the comforts are removed?  Would his Word still be enough for his people to come together?
