Thought for Friday, 09/10:
"The business of America is not business. Neither is it war. The business of America is justice and securing the blessings of liberty." ~ George F. Will
??? Not war? Seriously? Even Ike warned about the military-industrial complex, and the US has been engaged in almost constant aggression and murder since WWII, killing between 20 - 30 million globally since then.
But now, with unconstitutional destruction of any vestiges of personal freedom a done deal, with the govt claiming to own your body and what goes in it, the rest of his claim is ironically moot.
Haggai is called to chastise the remnant in Jerusalem through the assigned governor, Zerubbabel, for the condition of the Temple.
C1v4 - "4 Is it time for yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house [Temple] lie waste?"
So Haggai delivers the real message - v8 - "8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build this House, and I will be favorable in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord."
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit - how are we preparing it for God's glory? Quick!
