Acts 20:7
“And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.”
The sermons have gotten increasingly shorter since Paul's day. And of course God's people love to have it so.
People will spend all day and all night going to and from a ball game or a concert but can't show up for an hour or two on Sunday morning to hear God's Word preached. People can watch sports or movies all day on Saturday or every night of the week but can't find the time to meet at the Church for the evening services. People will complain if the preacher goes over 30 minutes.
Why are the churches not full or at least half full today? Because people have lost their fear of God. Your fancy home, new vehicles, shiny new boat or ATV, are not going to get you rewards at the final judgment. How is taking your children to ball practice instead of a church service being a witness for Christ?
If you love Him as you claim then why do you not follow His commandments? Why do you teach your children and others to follow the world and the lust of this life over the love of our Heavenly Father? It's pretty obvious which one will be more important in the end.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
