Let Us Not Behave Like Unbelievers

I do not believe there is anything that breaks the heart of our Faithful God more than for us as professed believers to behave like unbelievers and to doubt that God is good and that He cares for His own. Yes, surely, our seemingly subtle acts of unbelief in God sink to the very deepest depths of human rebellion. 

Shame on us when we act as if God is unaware and without care for our lives. It must surely feel again like the kiss of Judas upon His holy face, yes, a bitter betrayal in its most obvious representation. 

How quickly we forget that God is Love. How many days do we overlook the fact that He loved us (and still loves us) so very much that He gave His only beloved Son to become a broken, crucified and dead sacrifice to pay in full our wretched ransom of unrighteousness? 

Let us pray: God forgive and God forbid! God forgive us for our lack of true trust in You! God forbid that we should live as spiritual shams, claiming to be sold-out believers while actually selling You out by behaving like unbelivers. Lord, You are worthy of all of our worship, all of our praise, and truly, all of our trust! Help our unbelief! Restore Your steadfast Spirit of loyalty within us. In The Name of The One called Wonderful, Jesus! Amen.

Presence Matters Most!

That is... Presence. Unity. Souls. Love.
