Give the glory to God (2) – 26 February 2008

When you go to a church, what are your thoughts as you leave?

There was a saying a while ago that we should leave church asking God what he thought of what we gave, rather than discussing things that happened or how good the worship was.

This is not my point, (although if you have not heard it before it is good, so remember it!) I want to ask the same question though, I want to ask what you look to after a service or event.

It should be Jesus.

All the glory from everything should go to him.

Otherwise why would anyone else come? Why would anyone go to church, if all the glory went to Martin?

No offence to Martin – but God is better, and if things point to him, and people look to him then more people will want to be part of the journey.
