Ichabod the Glory Has Departed
“The Glory Has Departed...”
Before the next church service
you attend gets started.
Perhaps on the door should read;
“God's glory has departed.”
Many come on Sunday morning
and don't even know.
That's God's glory left such
a long time ago.
Many build their Sunday experience
on “past traditions.”
Built on man-made rules and
“false expectations.”
They don't want to hear the gospel—
”it may offend.”
Their pastor no long preaches
on what the Bible says is sin.
Some have been going to
church for many years.
Still looking for teachers
with “itching ears.”
The true presence of God
is no longer there.
It's no longer found in their
worship or prayer.
God's judgement shall begin
at this very place.
It hasn't happened yet, because of
his unfailing grace.
If God's presence has been left
from your life as well,
Remember his love for you
will never, never fail.
Seek his awesome presence
each day that you live.
He gave his son for you—
what more could he give?
Hunger for his glory in your
life this very hour.
And be renewed by his word
and life-changing power!
