I happened to go to Cali last week and I had a great conversation w/ a big brother friend of mine. I was sharing with him how I felt in my gut that most churches on Sundays are pretty much going through the motions of doing church. you know, create a skit, pick some tunes, read a few passages. create a new series w/ a catchy tag line and maybe some song and dance numbers to kick it off. My bro told me that it wasn’t only me but that there is a wind of change for churches’ as we know it today. he said that it would be a great thing and that he couldn’t wait for it.
he believed that people are tired of the slick productions and ad campaigns. that they just want to draw closer to God. If that is the case, then i am excited to see what God will do in His church.
going back to the topic of ‘seeker sensitive’. i had a revelation this past week. perhaps many of you know it already. i realized that WE are the church. we should be seeker sensitive. the place of worship i believe, should NOT be. we shouldn’t DUMB DOWN the gospel for the sake of getting people in the seats. if the power of the gospel in our lives compels those around us who are seeking to join us in our house of worship on Sundays then that’s great but to water down the gospel? in the long run, is NOT gonna do it.

About choocho
Born in South Korea, immigrated to southern california, U.S.A. in 1976; lived in korea town, L.A. but was bussed to sherman oaks only to find out that he was poor, fat and not so smart.
During middle school years the family pull up stake and move to a working class suburb of Norwalk, CA where chooch finally feels 'normal'.
chooch finds refuge in sports, visual arts and music. visual arts and music really sticks so he transfers to THE LOS ANGELES HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS. by the some fortunate circumstances (providence) chooch is accepted as a senior in high school. upon which he meets teacher from the then acclaimed art and design school at the time - ART CENTER COLLEGE OF DESIGN where he is rewarded a scholarship.
upon graduation, he falls into a little known industry called 'the interactive gaming industry'. you can find him 5-6 days a week "tightening up those graphics in level 3."
during high school choocho also dabbles with music and finds that he LOVES TO PLAY DRUMS!!! so coinciding his art lessons, chooch hang with mostly music majors and continues to hone his drumming skills til this day.
hoping one day to not work behind 'the box' and just to bang on his drums all day!
