Last night I was watching videos of MercyMe, TobyMac, For King and County see the crowds in these areas I couldn’t help to think…….these areas are packed for these truly amazing performers who the Lord has blessed with amazing talent.
…..but how many of those in the area are really in the area? What I mean is what A.W. Tozer said, in A Cloud by Day Fire by Night, “Too often Christians believe that all they need to do is accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, and then everything will be all right. The Christian life must progress deeper and deeper into the things of God, the very heart of God himself.”
We as the church must go deeper so that we can feel the very heart of God. How do we do that? We sacrifice…time, things, maybe friends, money, ego, pride. We need to carve out time in the day to spend time with the Father.
We will spend hours playing video games, watching TV, and working out. But will you spend one hour with your Father? This hour will deepen your relationship and faith beyond measure. Salvation is given…… sanctification is earned. Sanctification takes a deliberate action on our part. #brokenredeemed #4thWatch #faith #love
