Get Real

Acts 7:51-53 (The Message) "And you continue, so bullheaded! Calluses on your hearts, flaps on your ears! Deliberately ignoring the Holy Spirit, you're just like your ancestors. Was there ever a prophet who didn't get the same treatment? Your ancestors killed anyone who dared talk about the coming of the Just One. And you've kept up the family tradition—traitors and murderers, all of you. You had God's Law handed to you by angels—gift-wrapped!—and you squandered it!"

Don’t you know God gets sick of seeing people playing church, going through the motions for the eyes of their peers. God must really hate seeing their phony worship. Look in your heart, look at your motives. Why are you going to church, why do you sing, why do you pray? Are your motives pure? If you are going to church for the wrong reasons, do not stop going just change the reason. If your reason is just to hear the singing that is wrong, do not stop singing just change the reason. If your prayers are for the wrong reason, do not stop praying just change the reason. Our God has given everything we need and He deserves all our praise, and prayers but they need to come from our heart. Dear Lord help us get real, Lord we ask for forgiveness for not being true in our worship. I love You, Jesus. Amen.

Love and God Bless,
