More and more frequently I hear people say, “It seems like we’re living in the last days.” Have you recently heard a church person say words to that effect?
Tell you what I don’t hear. I don’t hear people saying, “Because of this, we’ve decided to live with a greater sense of urgency.” That’s what one would expect to hear if somebody really believes these are the end-times. For the most part, I see Christians living as though they had all the time in the world.
We simply can’t have it both ways—supposedly believing these are the end-times, then living as though it’s business as usual.
If we are that fortunate generation of stewards on duty when the Master returns, Lord, please help the church be about making that the number-one concern of our lives.
I am grateful that I continue to hear how positively readers are responding to my latest book entitled The Sermon Sucking Black Hole—Why You Can’t Remember on Monday What Your Minister Preached on Sunday. This book is available at Amazon.com by clicking here.
In this book, I offer some solid tips to the people sitting in the congregation to help them remember what their pastor has said from the pulpit.
You will find a variety of other helpful resources for pastors and congregations at the Mainstay Ministries website. Please click here.
