Drawing from Malachi 2:17 through 3:5, this sermon addresses the spiritual danger of drift and its consequences in the life of the believer and the community of faith. When people drift away from God, they lose sight of their own sin, begin to question the goodness and justice of God, and adopt a victim mentality that places blame everywhere except inward. The pastor challenges the congregation to recognize that confusion about what God is doing must be anchored in trust in who God is. He calls the church to renewal through intentional worship, warning that God's patience must never be mistaken for permission. The sermon concludes with the hope of the gospel, affirming that God used the greatest injustice in history, the death of his Son, to bring justice to the world, and that no pain or injustice goes unseen by the Father.
