Building a Nest in the House of God
Steve Wagers
Psalm 84:3
I once came across an article entitled, ''Why Are Fire Trucks Red?'' It reads: ''Fire trucks have 4 wheels and 8 firefighters, and 4 plus 8 equals 12. There are 12 inches in a foot. A foot is a ruler. Queen Elizabeth is a ruler, and the Queen Elizabeth is one of the largest ships on the seven seas. Seas have fish. Fish have fins. The Finns fought the Russians. The Russians are red. Fire trucks are always rushin'. Therefore, fire trucks are usually red.''
A footnote to the article read: ''If you think this is wild, you ought to hear some people trying to explain why they are not faithful to church.''
A Christian without a church is like:
A student without a school
A soldier without an army
A citizen who doesn't vote
A salesman without customers
A seaman without a ship
An author without a reader
A parent without a family
A football player without a team
A bee without a hive.
John Calvin: ''The noblest triumph which God ever gained was when Christ, after subduing sin, conquering death, and putting Satan to flight; rose majestically to Heaven that He might exercise His glorious reign over His church.''
God the Father WROUGHT the Church
God the Son BOUGHT the Church
God the Holy Ghost SOUGHT the Church
Church should be important to us because it is important to God.
God DEMANDS it - Devil DESPISES it - We DESIRE it
Psalm 84 - TEMPLE Psalm
REMEMBRANCE
REFRAIN (4) ''Selah'' - Musical notation
(They would sing this song as they went to House of God)
1) BEAUTIFUL Place - LOVELY (1)
2) BLESSED Place - LIVELY (2)
3) BENEFICIAL Place - LASTING (3-12)
3 Pictures - ''Tabernacle'' (1) - ''Courts'' (2) - ''Altars'' (3)
Where God LIVES at HOME - ''Tabernacle''
Where God LINGERS in HOLINESS - ''Courts''
Where God LOVES to HELP - ''Altars''
What we find at the House of God:
PREEMINENCE (1-3)
PRAISE (4)
POWER (7)
PRAYER (8)
PROTECTION (9)
PRIVILEGE (10)
PROVISIO ...
