We do not love the Lord!

How many times do we find ourselves having little time to serve the Lord, whether it is through tithing, prayer or ushering? We often complain that the Lord demands too much of our time when we serve in church as musicians and look at our watches when the preacher preach a little too long for our liking. The time we spent on our television and books on secular subjects are way more than the time we spent with the Lord reading the bible or praying. Yet, we still think so highly of ourselves as Christians and think if ever we are persecuted for the Lord, we will not betray Him as we truly love the Lord! Do we truly love Him?

Why are we not spending more time with Him, then? Why are we not praying longer, tithing more, or serving in the church more? Why are we not taking an active stand against abortions and homosexuality, if we truly do not fear to be persecuted? Why are we not actively sharing the gospels with non-believers? Why are we hiding in our own little Christian corner instead of confronting the world for its wickedness? Why don't we speak out more against evil? Is it a wonder society is losing their sense of right and wrong, and having no fear of God?

It is time to repent and admit that we do not truly love the Lord! Then, we need to slowly take steps to love Him more. Start by spending more time with Him reading the bible or praying. Then, slowly, one step at a time, do the other things!
