It was an evening service graced with royal presence and attended by eminent members of the citizenry. As the congregation made their departure from the church building one individual was overheard to comment to another, "Well, we've just been to a place to hear about a fella called God".
Such dismissiveness of God is common in our generation and at every level of modern society. It doesn't diminish or distress the Almighty but it mightily offends those who adore him and pay him the homage of their hearts and lives. In God's people there is a hunger for his glory and a jealousy for his reputation. When worms squeak their blasphemies and insults before God believers tremble at human audacity in the face of his awesomeness, its ultimate consequences, and the tragedy of inveterate irreverence. Contempt for God is the height of self-destructive folly. It is the peak of immorality and madness. It is sheer ignorance of the divine supremacy, majesty, excellence, and worthiness that demand our utmost worship and adoration.
