"Some say Christians don't tell lies...we just sing them on Sunday mornings."

Are we singing with a heart of worship during church service or are we singing because it was what we were taught to do?  It can be so easy for me, you and anyone else in this world to go to church and sing the songs and not really think about the meaning of the words. To dwell on those words and the reality behind them.

Do you know what we are really doing when we go to church and sing the songs without a heart for worship?  We are sinning.  We are lying to God.  We are spitting in His face.  We stare at the presence of God and say the words and lie without guilt or remorse.

Let’s think of this another way.  Imagine your spouse or significant other looks into your eyes and tells you how much they love you and care about you and how they would never leave you.  But they don’t mean a single word of it.  They say they love you, but they are actually thinking about someone else.  It’s the same with God.  Sure, we might be singing about how much we love him, maybe throw in a few claps for good measure.  But during that time we are actually thinking about the things that we consider much more important in our hearts.  We sing ABOUT God…but we are not singing for Him.

Let’s ponder more on this until next Sunday and when we go to service let’s keep our hearts on God, dwell on the songs we sing to Him and really worship Him, not just sing about Him.  Let’s sing for him and WITH Him let’s avoid the lies we can be so accustomed to singing.
