personal manifesto

'I will be careful to live a blameless life - when will you come to me? I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart. I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it. The perverse in heart shall be far from me; I will have nothing to do with what is evil' Psalm 101.2-4. Not a bad personal manifesto - one that begins 'I will sing of your love and justice; to you, Lord, I will sing praise.' But you don't hear it preached that often these days! We need the Holy Spirit and lots of grace!

God's coming to earth

'But will God really dwell on earth with human beings?' 2 Chronicles... 6.18. The New Testament has something to say about this, surely! We sometimes lose the awe and wonder of such a divine move, though!
