From the pulpit...
Is it tickling our ears?
Is it watered down gospel?
Or is it what's on God's heart?
From the pews...
Is it indifference, lack of faith, fear of man, pride, blindness, laziness...
all producing lack of response?
The cure...
1) Acknowledge our dependence on Him for everything. Everything.
2) Ask forgiveness for short-sightedness.
3) Receive grace, remembering grace comes with responsibility.
4) Embrace truth.
5) Release faith.
