AN ANTIDOTE AGAINST DISTRACTIONS: A Remedy for Wandering Thoughts in the Worship of God
RICHARD STEELE (1629-1692) Edited by Dr. Don Kistler
In the book of Malachi, God complains that His people are giving Him leftovers. We are often guilty of that, giving Him leftover time, leftover attention, leftover funds. And often that is true of our worship.
In this insightful book, a treatise on 1 Corinthians 7:35, Puritan preacher Richard Steele deals with how easily Christians can be distracted in the worship of God. For example, he says that prayer is a good thing, but not when we ought to be listening to a sermon. And thinking on a sermon is a good thing, but not when we ought to be praying.
There are few things that matter more to God than His worship. Therefore, we ought to be diligent in doing what the psalmist implores us to do, “Give unto the Lord the glory that is due unto His name” (Psalm 29:2). Richard Steele will help guide us in fulfilling that most important duty.
