Haggai talks about how the Israelites have ignored the temple of God and let it fall to ruins. At the same time they've spent a lot of time and energy getting three car garages and white picket fences in the front yard of their houses in the suburbs. They had forgotten God... again. I'm sure it didn't seem like a big deal at first. Maybe they skipped worship so they could stay home and finish assembling the the swingset in the backyard for the kids. After all, God loves children, right? Next thing you know, their lawns are more well kept than their hearts.... but honestly, who has time to pray when there is so much fun to be had?
