“And so at last the Tabernacle was finished. The Israelites had done everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses…So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord’s instructions to Moses” (Exodus 39:32, 40 NLT).
The original church house was finished. It was done exactly to God’s specifications. It was completed by His people, His priests and workmen. Every pole, every stitch, every table, every garment—down to the underwear the priests wore—was done as God instructed.
And the result? The result was that all of Israel was drawn in to following God.
Wouldn’t you like to see that happen in the USA?
From what I read, it’s going to take all of us, His children, doing exactly what He says.
Exactly.
No fudging. No revamping. No tweaking. No giving a nod to what would be more fun or entertaining. No wishy-washy commitments. No cliques among the church pews. No pushing aside gathering to worship for other good causes.
If we’re going to reach the lost and dying world, we’re going to have to do church right and with the right attitudes—for ourselves and for the ones God’s wanting us to reach.
