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.

I Corinthians 15:51-58

Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

GLORY TO GOD!!!!

Lamantations 3:22-36

22. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25. The LORD is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so there may be hope.
30. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31. For the LORD will not cast off forever.
32. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitudes of his mercies.
33. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36. To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.
What a God we serve!
