Interesting
The church is interested in the church a great deal. The church is not interested in the King or His Kingdom. It does take some interest in the Savior. In some of the bad cases of interest, indulgences and masses and prayers and riches are sold to those who have not heard that salvation is actually the gift of God.
The lack of interest is repaid in kind by the Kingdom, I think. Not interested in the programs and meetings and indulgences and bartered blessings, if the Kingdom were to actually pay attention to the church, the outcome would be a new playing out of the scene in which the King drove the religious peddlers from His house.
What to think of these contrasts, if they exist anywhere outside the mind of Douglas? I think the thoughts that need thinking about the matter can be placed effectively in our minds by the Spirit of the King. He has plans, and He knows where and how we fit in them. He has laws that are life in Christ Jesus that He would like to stir our hearts to walk in obedience to.
Ask Him a hundred times during the day, “What is next, Lord?” or “Make me able to know truth, Lord,” or “Fill me again, Lord, with more revelation and power and love than ever, Lord,” or “Make me awesome, Lord, as You are awesome!”
