Have some attitude with God’s Word!!

I just read a portion of George Whitefield’s life biography. It was sharing about his attitude toward God’s Word. He would get on his knees and try to pray through every line and word, that it would be implanted in his heart, mind and actions.

wow.

I don’t have that kind of attitude… for anything! These old skool pastors really impress me and motivate me to be serious about my Bible. What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with my generation? aigo…

This is why I really enjoyed John Piper at the Gospel coalition because he was yelling at me and the rest of us noob pastors to be. We really don’t proclaim the implications of the Gospel and we don’t really have the attitude toward the Words of God like they used to. It’s just not that serious and important anymore.

I can hear a good sermon or Bible study but will never get around to DO the Word. Hearing and Doing is miles apart. Head to heart is the longest journey. But heart to action the greatest challenge.

A REAL Christian is one that obeys. A REAL Christians can’t help but to obey because of their love for God.

I want to be REAL. So REAL where I get serious about obeying. So REAL where I am able to have some attitude about Scripture…
