About this listen

Scripture repeatedly insists that God deserves our best never the leftover, the blemished, or the convenient. Even among clean animals, Israel could not sacrifice a deer, because it represented no personal cost; only offerings tied to a man’s labor, time, and wealth were acceptable. God needs nothing from us “the cattle upon a thousand hills” are already His but we need to give to Him in order to grow in faith and obedience. Yet many today excuse shabby gifts and half-hearted service with pious clichés like “It’s for the Lord” or “It’s the thought that counts,” while believing that they deserve the best and God should be content with scraps. A culture convinced that nothing is too good for itself and that God should accept whatever we choose to give will inevitably face judgment. And we are seeing the consequences now.
