Thoughts on life and ministry with a hint of randomness.
-
Tonight my wife and I are opening up our home to about 25 volunteer leaders from our church. We are looking forward to hanging out with them and getting to know them as we spend time together. This morning I read a passage of scripture that talks about having dinner with God. Could you imagine? In Psalm chapter fifteen David talks about what it takes to get on the guest list and how to avoid the blacklist. Listen to how the Message Bible describes it:
“God, who gets invited to dinner at your place? How do we get on your guest list? Walk straight, act right, tell the truth. Don’t hurt your friend, don’t blame your neighbor; despise the despicable. Keep your word even when it costs you, make an honest living, never take a bribe. You’ll never get blacklisted if you live like this.”
These are some pretty challenging prerequisites, some are more challenging than others for me personally. Could you imagine the impact our lives would have if we lived everyday like we are going to have dinner with God?
