I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

This U2 song title provided the theme for tonight's Cafe Church at The Cotteridge Church. It says something quite profound. We live in a world where we like to arrive - while the Christian reality is of being on the journey. Indeed, the earliest Christians were sometimes called the 'people of the Way'. We need to recognise the value of the search and that there is nothing wrong with the continuing journey. I have climbed highest mountains, I have run through the fields, only to be with you .... but I still haven't found what I'm looking for ... The Church is a place of searching and of journeying far more than it is a place of solutions and arrivals - at least, I would dare to suggest it ought to be.
