Ezr 3:12 “… old men who had seen the first house,
wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid,
though many shouted aloud for joy.”
Because the church has lost the capacity to weep over sin, it
lost its joy to shout over salvation. Even though the Temple was being rebuilt
they compared it to the first Temple and wept that it wasn’t as glorious. But
the external building wasn’t as important to God as their hearts. God is always
more concerned about who we are than what we accomplish. In too many ways the
church today avoids calling sin, sin and focuses more on how it looks and thus less
concerned about salvation and more concerned about style.
When the church learns to weep over sin, man will start hearing
a louder shout over souls from the church instead of self-interest… HSAY
