Have you ever heard the parable told in Mark 12
about the farmers who were given a vineyard to take
care of? The owner of the land had done all the hard*
work; cultivated the vines, dug the well, built a wall
around it to protect the fruit and those who lived there.
Then he hired folks to tend the ground and harvest the
fresh grapes. All he wanted in return was a part of the
harvest. But, the folks who were living there began to
think that the vineyard should belong to them. They
refused to give the owner anything and treated the
owner’s messengers badly, even killing some of them.
The owner sent his Son, figuring these folks would
respect the son of the owner, but the people thought that
if the killed the son, they would get to keep the vine-
yard for themselves. Jesus says that the owner will
come and throw out anyone who gets to thinking that
they own their wonderful life.
I’m convinced that is true for us all. If I begin to
thing that the church I serve is mine...I begin to act like
those who tried to seize the vineyard. When we folks
who attend here begin to think that somehow our
church is really ours...we begin to try to take our church
away from the owner! Not only will it never work, but
we will end up in deep trouble if we try.
Our church belongs to Christ. Anyone who seeks
Jesus and is in need is welcome, because Jesus wel-
comes all who are asking, knocking and seeking.
If you are looking for a place, check us out this Sunday,
March 5, 2000. Not only will I have a dandy sermon
ready, but our “Kids with a King” (children’s group)
will greet you with the love of Christ. Our “FILL THE
BOAT SUNDAY” is a good time to check our vineyard
to see if we confess that God is the owner!
See you in church on Sunday.

We know that in any pursuit of life that one’s motiva-
tion and mental outlook determines to a great extent the
outcome. The Scriptures identify at least one motive for
worshipping which actually corrupts true worship and
renders it unacceptable. What is that motive? It is wor-
shipping in order to achieve personal goals or personal
rewards. We hear much today about the desire for wor-
ship services to be more “exciting” or more “up-lifting.”
While there may be an acceptable element in these expres-
sions, there lies a subtle and corrupting element.
Since true worship is God-centered, no worship can be
true worship when men replace God as the centri focus.
And since true worship is God-serving, no worship can be
true worship when people use the occasion to serve them-
selves rather than God...even when the personal goals they
seek are worthy goals (in and of themselves, like desiring
to be up-lifted emotionally).
There is also the subtle motivation of being “seen or
heard” (especially regarding different aspects of music
and speaking). Surely we have understood the Lord’s
warnings here. The principles of Matthew 6:1-8.
At the very core of this is the necessity of a worshiper
possessing a heart that is characterized by humility and
penitence. Would God be interested in the worship of the
arrogant and self-righteous? Is He interested in the wor-
ship of those who place themselves and their own interests
at the center of their worship? Again, the answer should
be clear. The fact that God finds human arrogance and
self righteousness offensive and is accepting of quite the
opposite, is clearly taught in Scripture. Consider the
Lord’s story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (Luke
18:9-14) and then these passages:
“The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves such as have a contrite spirit," Psalm 34:18
“For thus says the High and Lofty One, who inhab-
its eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and
holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spir-
it, to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15
“Thus says the Lord: heaven is My throne, and the
earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will
build for Me? And where is the place of My rest? For
all those things My hand has made, and all those things
exist, says the Lord. But on this one will I look: On him
who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at
My word." Isaiah 66:1,2
When Christ preached His “Sermon on the Mount”
(Matthew 5-7) the first thing He told His audience was
that God favors those who have humble and penitent
hearts - remember He said:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the king-
dom of heaven,” and “blessed are those who mourn for
they shall be comforted. ” Matthew 5:3,4
By these two statements Jesus simply means that any
person who recognizes that he is destitute and spiritually
impoverished apart from God, and mourns that condition,
is truly fortunate.
In the Lord’s story of the Pharisee and Tax Collector,
the Pharisee, though praying to God, clearly has his own
self first in his mind; where the tax collector clearly see
himself destitute and impoverished spiritually, and pleads
for mercy from Him who is merciful.
What must be considered far before the expressions of
worship must be the condition of the mind and heart
(Psalm 51:16,17).
