there is more to life than finding a person and falling in love. if we can't be content and faithful with the love that comes from above, how can we expect God to trust us with one another?
let us not forget the supplier of love itself...

If God wanted only absolute obedience He could have created Adam and Eve so they could not disobey Him, but He did not even created the angels that way. What good is worship from one incapable of doing otherwise? If our typical "worship services" are an indication of the state of our worship, the Lord might have done just as well to program a thousand computers to sing praises to Him. If we are told when to stand, when to sit, what to sing, etc., we may have order, and it may sound good, but is it touching the heart of God? Typical church worship, whether its is traditional, Pentecostal, Charismatic, or Third Wave, is often little more than an attempt to warm up the audience for the main act--the preaching.
We must seek the Lord as to how to attain true worship in our services, because something must be done to rescue the church from these spiritual ruts. Unless worship enables our hearts to touch the heart of God it is not worship at all--it is just noise. If we touch the heart of God our hearts will be changed. Every worship service should be an encounter with the presence of the Lord. When we behold the glory of the Lord we will be changed by that glory. However, true worship does not come by trying to see the Lord, it comes from seeing Him.

God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but He expects us to shoot for nothing less. grace is grace and it has been given to those who simply receive it. the reality lies in those who use grace to stay content with where they are at vs. those who use grace to continue to put off the old man and take on the new. its one thing to know change is necessary and its another to actually partake in it. enlightenment is the Holy Spirit's job, action is up to the individual.
