----more----
As the people of God forgot God's covenant love for them, they grew lukewarm in their relationship with Him.

Sound Familiar?

What happens when we forget God's covenant love for us?
A. We stop worshiping (1:6-10)
B. We stop being witnesses (2:17)
C. We stop Supporting His Work (3:6-9)
D. We stop Caring (3:13-15)

Malachi is a call to covenant renewal among God's people - a call to "recommitment" in reaction to God's grace to us.
