James Shin and Paul Washer

Going back to Pastor James’s sermon a couple weeks ago, he used an analogy about the old Butterball turkey that he deemed too old for self consumption but still good enough to donate to church. After speaking with a Butterball personnel and making sure it was still perfectly edible, but lacking the kind of taste of a fresh turkey, he thought of giving this “leftover” to church. (not sure if he was referring to himself, can’t quite remember) Nonetheless, he was referring to the general attitude of modern day Christians and their apathy towards the church. They, or rather, WE, have a tendency and myself being a prime offender, to only give off what is leftover of our time, money, and energy after it’s been extracted and squeezed into our individual lives within the world, outside of church. I come to church always thinking about what time I need to go home by, without Offering, and tired as heck from the daily grind that is work and the gym. This is a trend I need to stop myself from falling into, and I see this with other churchgoers in and around my life. I suck at being a servant to God. I’ve been sucking for quite some time now….gradually each month, I’ve been sucking more and more. I haven’t really been coming into the house of worship in “truth and spirit” (John 4:24), but rather with other thoughts swirling in my mind and heart. Forgetting, to always be meek and humble. It’s an attitude problem. Below is a very accurate portrayal of how many treat their church life and what the sad state of our heart is more often than not. Paul Washer, who even people within his own congregation refers to as brother, has been a really good source of messages when I miss something from our own sermons. You gotta hear this, it’s refreshing and very true.
