185 – What does it really mean to dwell in the house of the Lord?
Usually we think it means sometime way off in the future after we die. But the Bible gives a lot of clues which point to the fact that we live in the house of the Lord right now, and always.
That's what this episode is all about, living in the house of the Lord right now.
Here are some of the key points:
- Psalm 23:6 says we dwell in the house of the Lord forever
- Forever is not just in eternity. It's right now too.
- What I learned about living in the house of the Lord from fixing my kitchen faucet
- God Himself is actually our dwelling place (Psalm 90:1; Acts 27:28)
- Dwelling in the house of the Lord doesn't mean you live in your church. It's the way you live your life
- The way you live in your home is an indication of how aware you are of dwelling in God's house, being in God's presence
- The way you dwell in God's presence is really how you worship Him
Jesus wants us to get over a limited form of worship, constricted by a location, a building, or thinking your church is the only one that can worship God correctly.
You can worship God wherever you are, because you are always in the house of the Lord. You are always in God’s presence, dwelling with and in Him. This is true for everyone.
The house of the Lord is where you live, right now.
