Why Settle for Good?

It continues to amaze me the thoughts and priories of Christians. We have minimized the Great Commission to a Great One Hour Service. We have minimized being the church to going to church. American Christians have gotten away from what our true purpose in the eyes of God is: to fulfill the Great Commission. We have become selfish and greedy with our time and money and tend to put the brunt of it into programs and ministries that just support and benefit the Christians within the church, not the lost outside the church.

This isn’t to say that we don’t have some very good ministries in our churches because we do but herein lies the problem…Satan is working diligently throughout the church to distort our perceptions of what God’s Will is until GOOD has become the standard. God isn’t satisfied with “GOOD”. He expects the absolute BEST; GREATEST we can offer Him and His Kingdom.

He expects us to be good and faithful stewards of His resources and we are doing a poor job of it. We have got to stop settling for “GOOD” because it is an insult to our Savior to think He will expect anything less than GREAT from us, and will not punish us for allowing far, far, far too many of His children to die and go to hell. The blood of these lost souls isn’t on Christ, it’s on our hands. He has fulfilled His Will.
