How long?

How long will we ignore the truth to our own decay?

We were all created for the primary purpose of worshipping the Creator of the Universe. Having been giving the awesome faculties of imagination and the amazing gift of talents and abilities, we selfishly choose to live our lives for ourselves. Nevermind the fact that there are millions in the Earth blinded by secular humanism and pluralism. Not to mention there is an enemy who steals the Word from their hearts before it takes root.

We must face the truth about ourselves. Be honest about our sin before the Holy One. There has to be Godly Sorrow that worketh to repentence. This must be the first thing to take place, a time of brokeness before Christ, before God.

After that, the decision to Worship must be made. To present ourselves a Living Sacrifice, holy and and pleasing to the Lord, is our acceptable form of worship. We must decrease and He must increase. In order for that to happen we have to crucify our flesh and our selfsih lusts. Time to thing of God first, then the people around us.

This is not some life to be lived one day at a time hoping we get a pretty wife, a decent house, and a good job. This is a life meant to be sacrificed for the furtherance of the Kingdom for Christ. There are people everywhere who need to begin a relationship with Jesus just as bad as we need to live out our own.

Our time, our talents and our will are the tools of the trade to be used for God. We need to give up the throne of our lives and let the Word of God renew our minds. Satan is out to steal God's glory and reduce us to mere people who live 9 to 5 jobs, and find ways to entertain ourselves otherwise.

How long will we ignore the truth to our spiritual decay?
