"I will give in my house and within my walls a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off." -Isaiah 56:5
When it comes down to it, it's pure selfishness.
I feel sometimes that I cannot really worship like I would like to because I feel like a hypocrite. I am a hypocrite. I come to church on Sundays and live like the world on every other day of the week.
I feel as though I am living the "luke warm christian" life. Jesus does not mix words to help me manage my sins. He simply tells like it is. Revelation 3:16 says "So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!" I feel as though He is being very literal. I cannot begin to think about leaving a putrid taste in my Lord's mouth.
" 'There is no peace,' says my God, 'for the wicked.' " -Isaiah 57:21
I simply need to stop living for myself and more for Him.
