Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptabley with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
Many of us go through life with the mindset of a consumer. We are so used to having choices with everything that we buy, that we naturally have been programed to shop for the best deal. America is a very comsumeristic society and the church has become no different. We bring that consumerist mentality into our places of worship, expecting to find a church that will meet all our needs. We learn to make it all about us. And if the church stops to provide for my needs, then I will just go and find another one that will.
God’s word tells us that we should not be consumers when it comes to our spiritual lives, but we must be consumed by God’s presence. Once we are consumed by God, then we will come to church with the mentality of what can I do to serve. We will come into the sanctuary with an apron on instead of a bib. So lets make it our aim to be consumed by our all powerfully, all knowing, always on time God. Who sent His son to die for our sins.
