Many persons who have been
raised in our churches no longer think in terms of reverence, which
seems to indicate that they doubt God’s presence is there. Much of the
blame must be placed on the growing acceptance of a worldly secularism
that seems much more appealing than any real desire for the spiritual
life that is pleasing to God. We secularize God; we secularize the
gospel of Christ and we secularize worship. No great and spiritually
minded men of God are going to come out of such churches, nor any great
spiritual movement of believing prayer and revival. If God is to be
honored and revered and truly worshiped, He may have to sweep us away
and start somewhere else. Let us confess that there is a necessity for
true worship among us. If God is who He says He is and if we are the
believing people of God we claim to be, we must worship Him! In my own
assessment, for men and women to lose the awareness of God in our midst
is a loss too terrible ever to be appraised!
