Harken Unto The Lord

The church age we live in church attenders have gotten lazy. We sit back on God and will not move. We have larger homes than we’ve ever had, bass boats, and nice cars yet we don’t do anything for God. The building will not get a person to move. If the pastor is on vacation then half the church is on vacation. The pastor is not the one that you should be serving. Church members will amen preachers but when God says to do something they stop, and refuse to do what He says. Dedicated church members are just as guilty as the lay member that doesn’t do anything for the church. Church members do not follow God enough to show the lost how it’s done. If someone asks you how church went and you state, good. Is that encouraging? We should be excited to attend church, worship God, and give Him the praise that He so deserves. We do not attend church and expect it to be a funeral home in a state of depression. We ought to come expecting an exciting service. We get excited over the sports. We dedicate our lives to our children and their sports then we wonder what happened when our children don’t want to attend church when they get older. There are people out in the world today who are more excited about rocks than church services. We are living on the very near edge of a church that we don’t know how to call out to God. We should be clinging to the elders of God and asking them how they did it. We live in a place now where if one gets excited over Jesus another person might get offended. When you pray to God do you have your mind made up on how you want the outcome to be? When God does it His way you then get upset that it wasn’t the way you wanted it. We should be humble before God and just be willing and do what He says. It’s time to stop sitting! It’s time to get up and start working. How long has it been since you’ve asked God to feel His presence? 5 minutes of prayer and thinking you’ve done all you’ve done doesn’t cut it.
