My Greatest Concern [Sunday School Aug 16th]

Listen to the audio at the bottom of this post.

Ephesians 4:1
We NEED to endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit. We need to come together in one mind, one purpose and one accord but unless it’s Gods mind, God’s purpose and God’s accord we won’t accomplish the will of God.

Why would keeping the unity of the Spirit be my greatest concern? Because in the hour that we live in there are more distractions than there has ever been in the history of mankind. So many things screaming for our attention means that keeping the unity of His Spirit is all that much more difficult. And it’s so easy to be distracted from God’s purpose and His plan.  With all the distractions and information available to us we become haphazard in our spiritual pursuits. We allow other things to take priority and precedent in our lives.

It’s not as difficult as we would like to believe to quench the Spirit in our lives. We can easily make decisions in a moments time that will draw us away from God.

The great tribulation that is prophesied about in the Bible might just be the abundance that we partake of today. An abundance and comfort level that causes us to be so distracted from God that we have trouble making out His voice, let alone hear it daily.

Don’t think for a moment that you don’t have to obey His voice simply because the presence of God is always there when you come to Sunday service.

As time progresses, we need to stop ourselves daily and ask God to speak to us. Make sure we’re being wise with our decisions and choices in an age where distractions are commonplace.
