The message of Malachi was directed to a people plagued by corrupt priests and wickedness. The prophet confronted the people of Israel for their hypocrisy, infidelity, divorce, pride, greed and arrogance. The nation was so complacent in their sin that God’s Word no longer had any impact on them. Malachi challenged them to turn from merely “going through the motions” to a relationship with God filled with faith, obedience, and worship. God loves us passionately and wants us to return that love to Him by being people of integrity, purity, and justice.

In May 1775, Harvard College president Samuel Langdon delivered a message to the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts that is reminiscent of Malachi’s prophecy – and which echoes eloquently through history to today’s America: “We have rebelled against God. We have lost the true spirit of Christianity, though we retain the outward profession and form of it….My brethren, let us repent and implore the divine mercy….May the Lord hear us in this day of trouble….We will rejoice in His Salvation, and in the name of our God, we will set up our banners!”

About the Author

Virginia Christian Alliance
The mission of the VIRGINIA CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE is to promote moral, social and scientific issues we face today from a Biblical point of view. In addition we will refute and oppose, not with hate, but with facts and humor, the secular cultural abuses that have overridden laws and standards of conduct of the past. We will encourage Christians to participate in these efforts through conferences, development of position papers, booklets and tracts, radio/TV spots, newspaper ads and articles and letters-to-the editor, web sites, newsletters and providing speakers for church and civic meetings.
