The door of money? Did you get offended tonight maybe when I spent ten minutes or so talking about giving? Probably most of you didn’t but if you did, it’s not because I talked about it too long; it’s because god’s knocking at the money door in your life and it’s easier to get mad at somebody else sometimes than it is to obey god. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why people get aggravated when somebody teaches them how to give. The only people who could possibly get aggravated about that are the ones who don’t want to do it. I agree people don’t need to overdo it and I don’t think I do that; I don’t think I take an excessive amount of time trying to teach people how to give but if I’m going to be a teacher of God’s word, then I’ve got to teach you the whole counsel of the word of god. We need to stop getting aggravated at preachers when they preach something we don’t want to hear because most of the time it’s because it’s something God’s dealing with us about and we haven’t come to the place of full surrender.
If we hear about prayer and we’re one of the ones that aren’t giving any time to it, then we don’t like that message. Well, at least I have one person laughing over there. That’s good. (laughing) which door is God knocking at? The door of your time? The door of your attitude? How about the door of wrong friendships? Some people could change their whole life if they’d just get a new bunch of friends.
How about the door of sacrifice, God asking you to serve somewhere that’s going to take a little of your time and you’re just not sure you want to make that commitment because after all, if you make a commitment and you have to be somewhere every week, what happens if you don’t want to be there?
