Here’s a reminder: JESUS is LORD Here’s a reminder: JESUS is LORD

Are You Listening to God? They said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die." EXODUS 20:19 We don’t conscious...ly and deliberately disobey God we simply don’t listen to Him. God has given His commands to us, but we pay no attention to them not because of willful disobedience, but because we do not truly love and respect Him. If you love Me, keep My commandments (John 14:15). Once we realize we have constantly been showing disrespect to God, we will be filled with shame and humiliation for ignoring Him. You speak with us,but let not God speak with us. We show how little love we have for God by preferring to listen to His servants rather than to Him. We like to listen to personal testimonies, but we don’t want God Himself to speak to us. Why are we so terrified for God to speak to us? It is because we know that when God speaks we must either do what He asks or tell Him we will not obey. But if it is simply one of God’s servants speaking to us, we feel obedience is optional, not imperative. We respond by saying, Well, that’s only your own idea, even though I don’t deny that what you said is probably God’s truth. Am I constantly humiliating God by ignoring Him, while He lovingly continues to treat me as His child? Once I finally do hear Him, the humiliation I have heaped on Him returns to me. My response then becomes, Lord, why was I so insensitive and obstinate? This is always the result once we hear God. But our real delight in finally hearing Him is tempered with the shame we feel for having taken so long to do so.

Saints, last night's US Supreme Court decision has overturned California's policy on closure of in person worship. However, the leaders at Mt. View do not yet feel this Sunday will be the right time to return to indoor activities. We will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate when the safest period will be to assemble again for worship. Keep our national and local situation in prayer.

Saints, the leaders will keep eyes on this for future development for the next few weeks:https://news.yahoo.com/high-court-california-cant-totally-0
