God’s Church

I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. — Psalm 138:2

For Christians, God's temple is one of two related things: either the Christian's body (1 Cor. 6:19-20) or the group of people who make up his Church (1 Cor. 3:16). Because of the flaws in people who make up our churches, many are hypercritical of their hypocrisy. But God's Church is precious to him, and should be to us. Anyone who destroys his Church through division will be utterly destroyed. God's faithfulness to his people is seen in his preservation of the Church through all the ravages and persecutions of history and his patience with the flawed people who are in his Church. But, God is still the center of the Church and he alone is to be exalted. The Church is still to be governed by his Word and not just their own will.

Commands 

. Lend, hoping for nothing again

Luke 6:35
But love your enemies, do good to them,  and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children  of the Most High,  because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

. Lie Not

Colossians 3:9
Do not lie to each other,  since you have taken off your old self  with its practices

The time of relapse 

John 6:67
“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.

Vision

Acts 26:19
“So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient  to the vision from heaven.

Thought 

. We pray because we are orchestras and always need to tune up.  Just as a battery sometimes runs down and needs to be charged, so we have to be renewed in spiritual vigor.  Our blessed Lord said, “Without me you can do nothing.” - Fulton J. Sheen
