There must be more than this.

As I cycled into college today I was reflecting on the way that I'd introduced myself previously to the group, saying that I have a passion for church. I then muttered something verging on coherent about a privilege to be the body of Christ.

I was reflecting on the fact that saying that I have a passion understated how I really feel. More often, the church is more like an obsession for me. I often find myself thinking about what it means to be church and what sort of church I would like to be a part of. It's an obsession like being in love for the first time. It's a kind of default mode for my thinking. Always wondering about how church is and how it should be.

It occurred to me that the song 'there must be more than this' fits with how I feel about the church. I suppose you could say that 'there must be more than this' can describe both the Spirit of Christ and the body of Christ.
