Drifting

04.05.10


Cultures tend to drift from truth and become polluted by worldly perspectives. In ancient Israel the prophets cried out for people to return to God. The people struggled to understand because they thought they were following God. I mean, outwardly they were doing lots of religious stuff. And therein lies the problem – the drift occurs internally and once it has occurred one is incapable of seeing that they are drifting externally. So, in Malachi 1 people say, “Hey, we’re offering sacrifices.” But God says, “…you bring blind animals for sacrifice…you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong? Try offering them to your governor!”



Christians in the surfing world need to awaken to how much the sirens of the surf culture have drawn our hearts from Jesus. Once we repent of this God can begin to use us as a catalyst for His glory among surfers.



Who do you offer your best to – God or surfing?
