Millions of Christ-followers will have worshipped Jesus this Sunday. Many of this number might have been distracted and left their church buildings feeling empty. I have been greatly challenged by this quote from Louie Giglio:
"When God is not greatly praised, it's only because we don't think he's that great of a God. When our worship is small, it is because our concept of God is small. When we offer God little-bitty sacrifices, it's because we have somehow reduced him in our hearts to a little-bitty God. Our vision has become clouded, our hearts distracted. As a result, our lives shrivel into insignificance and meaninglessness. We just bump along in this mass of humanity, having no real clue what life is all about. We fret. We get depressed. We worry and get bent out of shape. We go down all kinds of dead end paths as we try to accomplish everything by ourselves. Sometimes leading to irreversible destruction."
What will our response be?
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'" - Luke 4:8
Live in Grace!
