This last Book of the Old Testament speaks of God’s faithfulness & His people’s faithlessness. Their love for God had grown cold, their hearts filled with indifference & apathy. In denouncing the overall decline of the spiritual state of the people, the Lord’s anger was directed towards the priests who had failed to act according to their priestly calling. They were the ones that should of set the example, but instead were engaging in much of the same dishonor, irreverence, and contempt for the Lord…and in doing so, were causing the decay & deterioration of the entire social fabric. In the same way today, always be watchful of the Pastor you sit under. In all ways is he acting according to his calling by honoring & giving glory to God in all things, and showing reverence to Him and His Word? But most importantly, is he not only modeling this behavior before all but exhorting his congregation to do likewise?
