Today: [Malachi 2] Taking Leadership to Task: In chapter 2 of Malachi the prophet speaks by the spirit of God against the excesses and failures of the priesthood that were supposed to teach the people and set the example of godliness. Does this message have any relevance in our day? According to a 2012 Gallup poll, ministers and pastors stand among the least trusted professions in America. Is there any comparator between the corrupt priesthood of Malachi’s day and church leadership today? Because of unchecked problems Malachi’s day, the declaration of God is that their prayers would go unanswered. A sobering message to seek to apply to our own church culture, but needful nonetheless.
