thoughts from Malachi

Whenever I think of Malachi, I think of the last book of the Old Testament, the 400+ year silence before the birth of Christ, and tithes and offerings (test Me and see). This time, I'm reading Malachi from a worship perspective, seeking to relate Malachi's message to our worship today. God has some very strong words for our offerings of worship, and I'm looking forward to getting deeper into the message God sent to us through His messenger (in Hebrew, Malachi means "my messenger").
