Warming the Pew or Flaming the Altar?   

What do you desire out of your Christian walk?
What do you want to see happening in your church?
What do you see happening spiritually in your family and friends?
Are you deceiving yourself as to the spiritual condition of your family?

We as a church body have gotten into some really bad habits and we do not even realize that we have. We feel like our christian walk is perfectly fine, just dandy in the eyes of God and man. We can go to our Sunday morning service and perhaps our Sunday evening and Wednesday evening services and feel like we have fulfilled our obligation to our Christian walk. We attend our services, sing our songs of worship, some give tithe and offerings, we pray for each other. Once we leave church that's pretty much it. Well, we may do our little prayer and bible study at home too.

Well guess what? If our hearts are not broken about the condition of our nation then we are not where we should be as christians.
If we can visit with our family members, friends and strangers and not be concerned about their spiritual condition then we do not care for their spiritual life.

Who but christians are going to bombard heaven for the lost?
Who but christians are going to bombard heaven for our nation?
Who but the christians?!!

We can see how desperate the hour is by the programs that are on our televisions. Sexual immorality "taught" on so many programs . How prevalent sin is and how it is accepted!!! Oprah preaches there are many ways to God and it is accepted. Sin abounds wherever we look.

Acceptance of sin abounds. What can be done?

First we need to ask the Lord's forgiveness without any excuse for our medocre, complacent christian walk.

Then we ask the Lord for brokeness in our spirit.

We ask Him to fill us with His compassion for the lost and cause us to become sensitive to the lost and hurting.

We ask the Lord to give us a burning desire to draw close to Him and to desire His presence above all other things.

And then we need to spend time in intercessory prayer every day bombarding heaven. Praying for Holy Ghost revival.
