This message by Pastor Rod Harris was delivered at Trinity Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, January 6, 2021.
What is the most pressing need in the world today? An end to the virus? Racial harmony? An end to political in-fighting? A return to moral decency? Or is the answer closer to home? Maybe the greatest need is to restore the family. Build stronger relationships between husbands and wives. Between parents and kids, brothers and sisters. Well, all of the above and many others are worthy objectives but they don’t belong at the top of the list. The great need is peace with God.
If the Bible is reliable – and I believe it is – we’ve got a big problem. We are sinners. By nature and by choice. We are living in rebellion against the Creator. We live in rebellion against His law. And we are going to answer to Him. That is not a pleasant thought. “The soul that sins, it will die” (Ezekiel 18:20). I qualify. In fact I’m over qualified. The Bible says that, in our sin, we are the enemies of God. There are some people that you don’t want to be mad at you. Put God at the top of that list.
