Commentary on J. Vernon McGee's Take of Micah 4:6-13

Micah 4:6-13












Listening to TTB.org, I hear a lament that bothers me very much.  Paul says that idolatry is covetousness, meaning that whatever is priority in your life is in the way of Jesus.

Jesus is seen as "a way to make your marriage work," a way to raise children, or a way to get rich.  We in the Church are thoroughly spiritually bankrupt when we spend our time thinking about the things of this world. 

Do we not really think that there is a world after this one in which our decisions have more lasting effects?  We do try to get numbers, not significance.  We do strive for the things that can be measured.  And in this effort, we disembowel the true meaning of the gospel, and make it entertainment.

Why would anybody sing for millions if they don't want to sing for You, Lord?
