Day 2 of Kairos 54 at Angola was a roaring success. The men were very receptive to all that was happening, the food was great, the talks inspiring, the Spirit present. What struck me the most on Day 2 was the power of fun. A Kairos weekend is really a lot of fun. Spend some time watching guys singing and dancing and clapping and you will see what I mean. Smiles were everywhere. Although there were certainly moments of appropriate seriousness, the day was basically . . . fun.
Have we lost the power of fun in the church? I am sure our Lord was blessed by singing of simple songs done loudly and enthusiastically. They aren’t the latest worship tunes, nor were they backed up by a praise band. But the singing sure was fun.
It seems silly for grown men to draw posters and then stand in front of each other and explain them, but it sure was fun.
It’s a lost activity to spend a day just talking and listening and not to a television, radio, or ipad, but to other humans. But it sure was fun.
It isn’t often that one rides with a car full of guys, share memories and laugh. But it sure was fun.
Addressing letters at 10 pm, doesn’t sound fun, but when done with a table of friends for a blessed purpose, sure was fun.
Spreading the love of Jesus is our mission, it’s uplifting, inspirational and . . . fun.
I think I’ll start a church based on having good Christian fun. What do you think? No. I guess it would be considered a cult. But it sure would be fun.
I have more to share, but I’m planning to have a fun filled day. Gotta go.
