When will we be revived?

Ah, summer holidays. Gotta love 'em! I was finished work on tuesday and i've had the most relaxing few days ever! It's been nice...
you're probably wondering why the title of my blog. Well, I feel so strongly that we as a church really need to be revived. It goes a little into my last blog about what we seek in worship. Yet, it's different. Let me explain...
A lot of people are starting to realize that revival is more than getting all emotional on a sunday morning. And that's great. It's about lifestyle and living like Jesus... helping his Kingdom to be revealed on this earth... and working towards perfect righteousness (already, not yet idea). But I find now, that when we get together to worship, for some reason, God hardly shows up. Is that His fault, or ours? Are we missing it? maybe it's different in your church, but around Portage it's like people just stand there and stare at me when we worship through singing. Others are totally lost in God. I feel like I want so bad to have times where we just linger in God's presence but when we do that, I loose so many people. I think it's cuz' people aren't spending day to day time with God. Then they expect him to show up when it's a good time for them on a sunday morning. Do we really long for God? For his presence in our lives?
