Last Sunday we confirmed a new lead pastor at our Church. My wife and I have been a part of this particular Body for quite a while and we were overjoyed that a long and painful chapter finally came to a close. We have a new pastor ! This is exciting news. He will for sure propel this Church to a new level, new initiatives, new heights. A new drive and vigor will permeate our Church and it will be the best thing ever ! After all, he is a great guy, caring, dynamic and an overall solid person. Or so I thought.

On this Easter Monday, for the US readers, the bunny has retreated to its unknown whereabouts, for the Belgians amongst us, the church bells have returned from Rome and for everyone, we’re stuffed with chocolate. And I would like to extend this season with just a couple of days and reflect on what Easter is all about.
But first, I’ll admit. I have a problem with Easter.
Ah, the wonderful Christmas time. Decorations in the house, the smell of cookies and cakes, the music, the lights, the tree. The house seems to have a different atmosphere during this time of year when we commemorate the birth of our savior. God made flesh to take upon Him the sins of the world.
And as soon as January 1 comes around, we scramble to take it all down. The holiday season is over. Or is it ? What’s this thing called Epiphany all about ? And how does it tie in ?

Some of you have asked what’s going on. It’s been over a month since my last post and some have wondered whether I have disappeared from this planet.
No worries. No weird alien has decided to capture me and use me as their biological testbed. I have not given up technology permanently, nor has my internet been cut-off due to excessive data consumption.
Note here that what I am asking is not whether you love the worship style, or the teaching or the dress code, atmosphere, programs or even the senior pastor. I am also not asking whether you love going to church. I am asking whether you love your Church ?
