Woe to the Status Quo

“Behold, I stand at the door…”

How could these saints enter their church every week and leave their Savior standing without, at the door? Simple. It had become the status quo. That is, by definition, they accepted the existing state of affairs. They had become used to the fact of not having His Presence among them. His absence was the accepted norm. They were very tolerant of lifeless, dead, services.

Many pastors of such churches, whether they be Fundamental, Evangelical, or Reformed, still expect their people to come to church excited. I don’t know about you, but I, for one, have always found it difficult to get excited about attending funeral services.

The pitiful thing in all of this is the fact that none dare testify during such services that Christ is risen and alive, lest they upset the funeral in process.

The boat needs to be rocked, if it’s stuck on a sand bar.
