As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:1-2

Why Should You Care If God Doesn't?

So many times, in our churches across this nation; or should I say, the world? We focus on our own feelings and opinions more intently than we do the word of God. Shame on us, christian brothers, when we spend more time talking about the finances of the church than we do our almighty, gracious, loving, omnipotent, Lord and Saviour, to whom we owe our redemption, and our very life and breath! How can we find time to delve so deeply into discussions on carpet colors, and the order of services, when we have such a God to love, praise, and share in such a small lifetime?  God have mercy on us! There is infinitely  more excitement over aesthetics and other such pitifully insignificant and trivial matters, than there ever is over a lost sheep coming into the fold of God. How can we ask God to bless a church that shows more concern for their own comfort than they do for His word and great commission! We should fall on our knees and implore God's forgiveness for our foolishness and selfish pride! How good it is for the brethren to dwell together in unity! God grant us a singleness of heart, to seek his wonderful face, and to do his sweet will.
