Here is a confession I prepared for Sunday:
Consumer or Consumed?
We confess our corporate sin.
We come consumers of worship, critics, complainers, caught in conflicting conduct. Creating controversies. Condemning, cursing, convicting.
We critique and condemn - the choir is off key! The keyboardist is off cue! The clergy is unkempt. And the congregation is counterfeit.
We come connoisseurs claiming I am the center, I am the content, I am the king. We command concession to our choice, our call, our chair.
We confess this corporate sin.
Consuming counselor kindle a fire! Convert my corruption. Consume my self-centerdness.
Clothe me as a contagious, conquering Christian. Create in me compassion and character.
My Christ was crucified on the cross to clear my considerable sin, cleanse and console my conflicted conscious.
So I will celebrate with the kingdom chorus community congregation crowd! Carry my cross! Continually commit control of my life to Christ to claim the victory! Wear the crown! Dance in his courts! Clap for Christ. Cling to his cross.
