Thoughts to Ponder

We live in a world filled with so much stuff and junk that we can barely see over all the piles of it. So God, what if in our world of junk we have lowered you to our level? What if we have made piles of Jesus Junk, heaped it at your altar and then had the nerve to call it worship? God, help us rekindle the fire of your passion. Help us remember that we are to worship you with awe, for you are an awesome God, worthy of our praise and worship. Amen.
