A House For God

                                        Acts 7: 49a
              "Heaven is my throne, and Earth is my footstool
                             what house will ye build me"

          Here Stephen refers to (Amos 5: 25-27) and (Isa. 66: 1-2).  The Jews thought that because they had their temple,they were safe from harm and God would bless them anyway.  The prophets warned them that their temple would not assure them of blessing if their hearts were not right.  There is no way that God; Who fills all heaven and earth, be confined to a temple made of hands!  Israel's religious life was nothing but superstition, even though they had the outward kook of religion, but again their hearts were not with God.
         I pray that none of our church's on this earth today,are look upon as being a house for God.  The church building should be looked at as the house of God; a meeting place were Christian's and sinners can go and meet with God.  It becomes a sacred place where the Gospel of Jesus Christ is taught and were a sinner can go and not be afraid or ashamed; but welcomed in, and told about salvation through Jesus Christ and be Baptized.
        The Whole world is God's temple, and He is present every where, and fills it with His Glory.  But as heaven is His throne and earth is His footstool, so therefore none of our services can profit Him Who made all things.  Next to the human nature of Christ, the broken and spiritual heart is His most valued temple.  I pray today that they that are without Christ, will open the door to their heart and let Christ make your heart His Temple.  Amen!!

                        YOUR HEART IS LIKE A HOUSE
                         OPEN THE DOOR FOR CHRIST

                                  May God Bless You
                                   And Your Families
