The god of Comfort

At the citadel of all societies from various backgrounds in both third world and first world countries, is one god that is often worshiped and even by professing Christians. I’m not talking about our Lord and savior, though I wish I was. No, this god makes its way into the church like an invisible fog and leaves those who are white hot on fire for God lukewarm. It’s not only welcomed into the church, but embraced with open arms. It is more loved than those who are new comers and those who don’t know Christ Himself. It makes the church its footstool and destroys the unity of the Lord and His bride. It shows no need to wash itself clean, for it already presents itself favorably by the church. Sure enough, praises are made and songs are played…but to whom?

I’ve seen a child of God destroy their speech in order to embrace comfort to their chest. I’ve seen a child of God ignore their brother in need for the purpose of worshiping comfort. I’ve seen comfort welcomed again and again with church doors flung wide open “come all, we worship comfort here!” Oh but what a difference when you come across a church that despises comfort! The invisible fog makes its way into the church but is quickly dispersed at the sound of thundering worship for God! It attempts again and again, but is quickly dealt with by the Lord’s Matthew 10:34 sword. It soon realises that the individuals whom fill the church are not there to be comfortable, but they are there for glorifying the Lord.

Its power is driven to a halt; shattered and divided it finds no foothold in this church! Its footstool is not to be found, the doors are held shut by the church “you’re NOT welcome here comfort!” Its power becomes useless and futile, obliterated before the Lord of life. For in Him is everlasting joy that exceeds the worthless praises to comfort.
