Yesterday

Yesterday was, well, a day of counseliing. I lost count how many people I talked to and ministered too. Not complaining at all it was great privelege and I am honored that people would call, text, email, im, and other forms of communication. Last night around 2am is when I finally finished up with the last person. It was all interesting.

It also left me thinking and praying a whole lot. Often times I wonder how many of us are where we need to be with God. Despite our participation in church functions. After preaching and praying Sunday night over people, I really began to feel that God wants more than LIP service, He wants our whole heart. How often do people just play church?

I have been in full time ministry of some sort for a number or years. Honestly, I can say, that I have seen people play church for years. Probably have done it myself. However, lately, all that matters to me is not a big ministry, great preaching, or any other thing of the sort, but to have a pure heart before God. My pastor, said something very similiar several weeks ago and it has resounded in my ears.

Church is great, but most just attend and leave Christ there. I can't do that. I am not perfect by any means. My share of faults are many, but one thing I never want to have is a dirty heart before God where all I do is play church. I want to have a pure heart before God. Matt 5:8

Until tomorrow -
