Praise and Indifference

Let us laugh and sing and glorify God, while we weep for what once we were. Slaves to sin, that's all the Bible says we are. That is, until Christ freed the body. We are no longer that, and we have reason to glorify God for our gift. But how can we cease praising God? We manage to anyway. We have taken so much real joy out of the Church by replacing it with songs of praise, that become worthless as the worshippers lack any real joy to put into the songs. When we should be focused on a heavenly beautiful eternity, we cry at funerals where there should be rejoicing. The dead are lucky, for they can truly experience the fullness of God. There is no wonder that the church is failing in America. Here, we are without joy in worship. We are insecure because we are safe, but desire yet more safety. And we have the same loveless insecurity as the world around us, and it is killing our souls.
