"Again and again
I sent my servants the prophets, who said,
'Do not do this detestable thing that I hate?'
But they did not listen or pay attention;
they did not turn from their wickedness
or stop burning incense to other gods."
Jeremiah 44:4,5
'Do not do this detestable thing that I hate?'
But they did not listen or pay attention;
they did not turn from their wickedness
or stop burning incense to other gods."
Jeremiah 44:4,5
.
Far
too many people, even Christians, live on the periphery of godliness. God
is not looking for just an hour worship on Sunday, or an occasional prayer
when in trouble, or a Bible that sits on the shelf collecting dust. God
wants each of His children to have an intimate relationship with Him. He
expects us to live according to His standards, not those of society.
God expects godly values, commitment, and service to others. He loved us
enough to send His Son to redeem us with His blood sacrifice on the
cross. Now He expects us to give attention to our lifestyle to win others
by our words and deeds
.
Can others see God by your lifestyle? Pay attention!
