The odd thing about how we as Christian's see the way things are, is that they are skewed through our culture, instead of the other way around. For example, we will place sporting events above worship under the banner of "well, everybody is going to be home watching it anyway?" That sort of lukewarm response to the gospels power isn't in keeping with what the Bible mandates, and those who seek a nice, comfortable, snug middle ground and actually have a devotional time as they assemble to gather while watching the sporting event (as an example) are simply halving up the value of the worship they claim they believe in. Take it out of venue and look at it as food, so that each worship hour, moment, event ( such as personal or corporate prayer) is a bite of food. You do the math, my sense is, if we existed food wise on what you put into worship, Bible reading, and prayer, and go ahead and include service specific to Christ, my guess is, we'd loose a little weight, wouldn't we? What if we looked at it as a church body? Suppose that each time that we gathered together we gained nourishment, and when we failed to show up to the Bible ordained meeting (Hebr : 10:25) we didn't? How well nourished is your body today? Why don't people care about important matters like worship, over anything else? Why don't people value God over anything else? Why don't people show that they have that value by excitedly gathering together to worship that God as the Word which He shed His blood for proclaims they should? I don't know, is it a lukewarm kind of love? Is there such a thing as lukewarm love? I don't think so- but apparently, to many worshipers, that's not the case and they think lukewarm is O.K., maybe they need to think about what Jesus said:
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
See the thing that you need to ask yourself is; is God who loves this Nation America, and I'm convinced God does love this Nation, is God going to let her go without a fight? Now the question is, what would that look like? Please pray that we will return to God as we ought, before God brings us back to Him as He had to do with Israel.
Per Signum Crucsis (By The Sign of the Cross) De Inimicsis Nostre (From our Enemies) Libera Nos, Deus Noster (Deliver us, our God) In Nomine Patris (In the name of the Father) Et Filii (and of the Son) Et Spiritus SAncti (and of the Holy Spirit) Amen
