Whoever DOES these things will never be shaken.

An 'impersonal God' - well and good. A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads - better still. A formless life-force surging through us, a vast power which we can tap - best of all. But God himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps approaching at an infinite speed, the hunter, King, husband - that is quite another matter.

Rules of the House

Not an impossible list - the one this world values
● Summit Mt. Everest
● Become a billionaire
● Get a million followers
● Write a number one hit song
● Earn a PHD
● See the world

These good works are what God is like
-or-
Being comfortable in His Living Room

Psalm 15:2-5 NIV
2.The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

Doing what is right - is it worth it?

Speak truth from the heart

Keeps an oath even when it hurts

Destination? or a place of BeLonging

Christianity is neither contemplation nor action. It is participation. Contemplation is looking at God as if He were an object. But if you participate in God in the sense that you let yourself be penetrated by Him you will go to the cross like Him, you will go to work like Him, you will clean shoes, do the washing up and the cooking, all like Him. You cannot do otherwise because you will have become part of Him. You will do what He loves to do.
