“The Glory Has Departed...”

Before the next church service

you attend gets started.

Perhaps on the door should read;

“God's glory has departed.”

Many come on Sunday morning

and don't even know.

That's God's glory left such

a long time ago.

Many build their Sunday experience

on “past traditions.”

Built on man-made rules and

“false expectations.”

They don't want to hear the gospel—

”it may offend.”

Their pastor no long preaches

on what the Bible says is sin.

Some have been going to

 church for many years.

Still looking for teachers

with “itching ears.”

The true presence of God

is no longer there.

It's no longer found in their

 worship or prayer.

God's judgement shall begin

 at this very place.

It hasn't happened yet, because of

his unfailing grace.

If God's presence has been left

from your life as well,

Remember his love for you

will never, never fail.

Seek his awesome presence

each day that you live.

He gave his son for you—

what more could he give?

Hunger for his glory in your

life this very hour.

And be renewed by his word

and life-changing power!
