Grace for your spirit September 12, 2008

Oh that there were one among you who would shut the gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you," says the LORD of hosts, "nor will I accept an offering from you. Malachi 1:10

The kingdom of Judah was sent to Babylonian captivity because of their rebellion against God. Here the prophet Malachi reveals God thoughts less than 100 years after their return to Jerusalem. Have things improved? No, they are worse. The priests of God are despising His name, and bringing defiled sacrifices. God calls for someone to shut the doors and stop the useless sacrifices. His people refuse to do what is right and even give Him backtalk. How sad it is that we tend to repeat history over and over. How God must be sad at the false religions among us. Do you believe He would rather see the church doors closed, than continue to see false teaching? Let’s be the disciples His word calls for every day.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
