God Pleasers

The Bible declares, "without faith it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6). The sole ambition of every Christian should be to bring pleasure to God. When living to please the Lord, He becomes the center of a person’s life. Now that we are living in the last days, the church is proclaiming a heretical message.

Take time

On Sunday morning before going to church, scan the channels on your television. Listen to the many sermons that focus on man’s pleasure and good rather than God’s pleasure and good. Let me say it plainly, people are looking for health, wealth and prosperity; seeking the gift rather than the giver.

Life is all about "ME!"

People shop for churches looking for what pleases them not where God would have them serve. As a pastor, very few people have ever come to me asking “where can I serve the Lord in the church.” Most are interested in the church’s activities, the worship style and friendliness of the congregation. Is it wrong to want to know these things? No! But this is where it begins and ends.

The church has been shaped by the world’s message: Pamper yourself—treat yourself—you deserve it—only the best for you…. The point is this: If our existence on this planet is to please God, then we must abandon our wills and our pleasure and live to please Him—Die to live!!

I am motivated to please God by the fact that He gave all to me through the great sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. What could possibly move us more toward a life dedicated to please the Lord than embracing the fact that He tasted death for every man.

Back to the question at hand; what is the greatest way to bring pleasure to God? In fact, what is the only way that a man can please the Lord? According to Hebrews 11:6 the only way to please Him is by FAITH.

God loves PEOPLE OF FAITH...GOD PLEASERS.
