The Kingdom of God is within you and all around you, not
in buildings made of wood and stone. Split a piece of
wood and I am there, lift a stone and you will find me.
Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made by hands, as the prophet says, " 'Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things?' "
Acts 7:48-50
Hi Sandi I love this hope your day is a good one my friend xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, this post speaks to me. My lord is not in a sanctuary, but on the streets, and I tithe not to a church, but to God's people with a meal, a handout, clothing, a ride for an elderly person with groceries waiting on a bus. When the Holy Spirit knocks on MY door, I answer.
ReplyDelete... with a core.
ReplyDeleteLove that - the whole idea. Love the door too. I know God is everywhere- sometimes he gives us beautiful things to admire His work.
ReplyDeleteEverything is His! I believe people do not need to build such huge fabulous churches. A more simple building would be better, and give the rest of the money to needy people.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this scripture. It does not matter whether we gather together in a building, on line or wherever, we are one in the Lord in Spirit.
That is nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful door.
ReplyDeleteGod wants to live in our hearts. Do we let Him in?
That's the important question!
DeleteYou may not have to go to church to worship God but a good church where people live what they believe and is a Bible believing, Bible teaching church is a wonderful blessing and I am blessed!!
ReplyDeleteSandi, Once I worked with a lady that said, "God will not be at an Alice Cooper concert." I told her , "yes He will...He is everywhere."He will be there for anyone who needs Him. I like that our Lord is not in one place.:) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteI get what she's saying, but I think He is everywhere too. By the way, Alice Cooper is a Christian.
DeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of a quote that I've loved for many years.
ReplyDeleteThere is no place where God is not. ~Maya Angelou
I hope and pray that we are a hospitable dwelling for our God and Savior.
ReplyDeleteYou make people think or I hope they are thinking about God and their eternity. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful reminder, Sandi. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
This is a message that I needed to hear today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, and so very true, Sandi!
ReplyDeleteDear Sandi, the novel that I worked on all those years, ultimately ends with the truth of what you've quoted today. A feeling of completion came upon me when that ending came. Peace.
ReplyDeleteBless you, Dee.
DeleteSo true! God is omnipresent (in all places at all times) and omnipotent (all powerful). He's everywhere including our own spirit. After all, we, people, are part of His Creation.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said.
ReplyDeleteGood to read these words, and a well chosen image too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Verses to hang on to in these troubling times.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandi for this Bible verse. God is every where and He loves every one of us.
