Sunday is not long enough - And is to long!

Wow another Sunday here and almost gone. As a pastor I generally work all week in some way to get ready for the service. Study prayer and what ever else I may need to do to get ready. Then we get to the service to see most of the congregation is not that interested or at least look as they really did not want to be there.
If you wounder why your pastor seems to be down or not quite ecstatic about being there set up front and look back at the congregation and see what he sees. We expect to have a pastor that is on fire and ready at all times to uplift us with his wonderful ability to do so. Do we stop to think that we are the most reason that the congregation isn't having the best of services?
I was asked today how much music should a service have. I answered that it should be judged per service to let the spirit work. I don't think they expected that answer. It was the best answer because sometimes we need to kill the music and get to the sermon and sometimes we need to allow the spirit to flow.
I think most people have become clock watchers they are more interested in what is on TV or what is for dinner then what saith the Lord. We should be ashamed. We would rather gossip then talk about the Lord. Listening is no longer a gift we choose to develop we just ignore it.
I would say that all the things I've seen and heard in my life I can't say it is the worst thing but I believe it still can lead you to the lake of fire. Maybe if we where to stop and listen we may find God has more blessings for us. Remember always God does love you and wants good for you. But if you don't listen and follow where he leads you are not going in the direction he is leading. The only place he will lead you is that city he is preparing. Remember if your not following him who are you following.
