One of our big problems is forgetting, or shall we say, failing to remember. Another major sin we regularly commit, is not paying attention. Parents do this when they fail to notice where their little ones are and what they are doing. The parents sin, as well as the children, when these little ones get into trouble. The problem compounds itself as the children age and get into bigger trouble because the parents are asleep.
One good place to practice paying attention is here at church. Pay attention to the liturgy. What is going on? What does it mean? What does it mean for me? For my wife? For my husband? For my children? For our relationships together? There is a tremendous amount going on here each Lord’s Day and you cannot get out of the responsibility because you did not understand. You did not understand because you did not pay attention. You did not heed the Word, the Spirit. Stop doing that. Stop passing the buck. Stop making excuses. Instead, take heed, pay attention.
