What to Do When You're Weary of Worship

Malachi 1:6-13
Find the book of Malachi, it's easy to find because it is the last book in the Old Testament. Sometimes Malachi is called a minor prophet. I can tell you that his message is not minor. It is mighty. And it is not just a message for yesterday it is a message for today. Malachi lived at the end of the dispensation, at the closing of an ape. And so do we.

I suppose that the greatest malady of our age is not lack of worship, but lack of true worship.
