Tune Thou my harp...

 

Tune Thou my harp;

There is not, Lord, could never be,

The skill in me.
 
Tune Thou my harp,
That it may play Thy melody,
Thy harmony.
 
Tune Thou my harp;
O Spirit, breathe Thy thought through me
As pleaseth Thee.

Why is today’s church so far from what God expects of it?

Not Quite Like Our Church Services Today...
Why is today’s church so far from what God expects of it?  

Excerpt: 

"We waltz into church, usually with no heart preparation, keep a close eye on our smartphones, and think about lunch and the sporting matches to be held later in the day. There is little holiness, consecration and seriousness about being in the Lord’s presence. It is a one hour ritual that we go through each week, little different than going to a movie or taking the car through a car-wash.

There is nothing different about church. There is nothing special about church. There is nothing holy about church. And I too am guilty of having such a cavalier attitude and superficial response when going to church to worship the living God."
