The King is Coming!

2 Peter 2:11-13 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives  (12)  as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.  (13)  But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

Charles Spurgeon said of this, "The king is coming; he is coming to his throne, and to his judgment.  Now a man does not go up to a king's door, and there talk treason; and men do not sit in a king's audience-chamber when they expect him every moment to enter, and there speak ill of him.  The King is on his way, and almost here; you are at his door; he is at yours. What manner of people ought ye to be? How can ye sin against One who is so close at hand?"

The Will of God

1 Thessalonians For this is the will of God, even your sanctification.

"I think a lot of us need to forget about God's will for my life. God cares more about our response to His Spirit's leading today, in this moment, than about what we intend to do next year. In fact, the decisions we make next year will be profoundly affected by the degree to which we submit to the Spirit right now, in today's decisions." Francis Chan - "Forgotten God"

Self-Focused Consumerism

Zec 4:6  So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

The benchmark of success in church services has become more about attendance than the movement of the Holy Spirit. The "entertainment" model of church was largely adopted in the 1980s and '90s, and while it alleviated some of our boredom for a couple of hours a week, it filled our churches with self-focused consumers rather than self-sacrificing servants attuned to the Holy Spirit." – Francis Chan "Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit (pp. 15-16)."
