The spiritual discipline of showing up

Basing his remarks on Philip's asking Nathaniel to "come and see" Jesus, the Nazarite, Phil Kniss, senior pastor of the Park View Mennonite Church, Harrisonburg, VA, insisted that likewise today, God, who is powerfully and uniquely at work in this world, is inviting His followers to come and see Him. He invites us to be present, to stick our nose in where it belongs, to get "in the way, to engage in the difficult, life-giving, sometimes costly but joy-producing spiritual discipline of "showing up." God wants us to put down the TV remote and get involved in what He is doing in this world.
