Today's reading: Deuteronomy 4, 5, 6; Psalm 23, 53, 83, 113, 143; Proverbs 23
Psalm 83:18, "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
We live in a society that no longer believes that there is only one way to heaven. This is so sad. In John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." That is pretty well to the point. It is sad that people no longer believe the truth. The Bible tells us this will happen in the last days before the return of Christ. People are getting cold and indifferent to the truth. They no longer want to hear truth. They just want to be made to feel good. Church services are becoming nothing more than a pep rally for those who attend. This is sad.
The mission of the Church is found in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." This passage is known as "The Great Commission". In most Churches today it is "The Great Omission". I am afraid that it is left out.
We need to teach people, "...that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." You see worship is ascribing or assigning worth to someone or something. You see, we need to teach and tell the world that God is worthy of worship because He is the King of all kings and LORD of all lords. He is the only one worthy of our worship.
So, what are you telling the world? Really?
