The notion of spectators listening to a sermon as entertainment is not new. Sometimes we get the notion that today's sinners are better or worse than yesterday's, but the reality is that there have always been hypocrites in the pews.
So my people come pretending to be sincere and sit before you. They listen to your words, but they have no intention of doing what you say. Their mouths are full of lustful words, and their hearts seek only after money. You are very entertaining to them, like someone who sings love songs with a beautiful voice or plays fine music on an instrument. They hear what you say, but they don’t act on it!Do we fall into the same trap? Will God speak a prophetic word to our leaders and say the same thing of us, or will we hear the word of the Sovereign Lord, and then act upon it? If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
