It was a good service yesterday but I think that we hit a chord when I started off with God hating people who hate the church. (Prov 16:19) as EVERY thing changed right after that. Heaviness when sin is involved is important as its the Spirit of God working through hard and hurting hearts. But today I want to change directions a little and ask some questions of our church.
Why does it take the Pastor to bring basic truths to our minds i.e. Loving others? (see last weeks posts "today I am hurting")
When will mature Christians stop focusing on themselves?
What does God have to do to accomplish His Mission. (See Revelation chapters 2-3 and pick a church)
How do You and your church want to be viewed from Heaven?
(If your going to comment, please state what YOU are going to do not what WE should do)
Actually Pastor, I thought yesterday's sermon was awesome... I was convicted. What I realized is that even something as seemingly "harmless" as an attitude that simply makes things difficult for those trying to do God's work, is actually showing "hatred" for the church. I see that more clearly now... I must work on that...
