First Church of God

I do agree with our author on this issue of irreverence.  I feel on some levels we have lost what it is to reverence the Lord in the sense that we try too hard (sometimes) to make Jesus and the gospel message too accessible.  But, I feel that irreverence truly comes about in our heart's attitude.  Maybe the real issue of irreverence stems from what we believe about God and how that translates into our everyday life.  Or, maybe the problem is not only how we feel about God, but how we feel about ourselves in relationship to God...So, in a nutshell I believe irreverence begins with the seed of PRIDE.  I guess that is the starting place for many ungodly attitudes.  Our challenge is to self-evaluate and determine if pride has taken root in our lives and if so it is time to do a little weeding.
