Dimmed lights enhance the atmosphere, but where’s the Sabbath rest?
Are we in church for entertainment or do we want God’s best?
What is the goal of worship? Is it to train for spiritual war
Or to do religious motions? What have we come here for?
It’s fun to please the masses and attract them to our church,
But have we truly led them to the Christ for whom they search?
We know God’s Word is powerful to save, deliver, heal,
But if it doesn’t show His love, then what does that reveal?
“You’ve made the scriptures to have no effect through your tradition,”
Jesus told the men bound in religious superstition.
God’s Word was in their minds but yet it wasn’t in their heart.
The Holy Spirit’s presence they neglected to impart.
Though in the seat of Moses, a position of respect,
They had no power to cast out demons, heal, or resurrect.
When Jesus healed the man who suffered from a withered hand,
They hated His authority. To have Him killed they planned.
And what if He should suddenly appear within our church?
Would we like how we’ve portrayed the One for whom the sheep do thirst?
For if we say “believe for wonders” but don’t show them many,
Aren’t some likely to conclude, “They really haven’t any”?
