In God’s second dispute with his people, recorded in Malachi 1:6-14, he accused the priests and the people of despising him. After they objected, God demonstrated how they were cutting corners in their worship. Their failure points to the need for a perfect priest who would offer a perfect sacrifice for sins, which is just what we find in Jesus.
If someone hears a message but does not act upon it, sometimes we say that “it went in one ear and out the other.”...
It’s one thing to say we believe, another to demonstrate it with what we do with our possessions and our abilities.
When our life is off center, the result is dissatisfaction. In Haggai 1:1-11, God calls us to center our lives on him.
