when not perfect is perfect

I will agree with anyone when they say we should give God our best. But sometimes we just get things around the wrong way, we're so wrapped up in making our praises perfect that by the time we give them to God there's nothing really of substance left... it might look good, sound good, but the heart is gone.

One of the key pioneers of the 24-7 prayer movement, went from getting her friends at school into drugs to getting them into Jesus. She started up a gathering at her school, and it was described like this.

The music was terrible, the teaching was worse, the meeting was way too long, and people just kept becoming Christians.

It doesn't really make sense ... but that's God!
Would we give up our professional music, articulate messages, and 1.5 hour services?

This is so true. Just recently God keeps showing me a lot of beautiful ironies. This is one of them.

And it blow my mind how things could seem so perfect, and yet still fall short of uhm, perfection.

It's all about Jesus. And so often we so easily forget that.
