Behavior In The House Of God

Followers of Christ are to have a special relationship with God and His house. The apostle Paul addressed this issue for the benefit of his generation and it is an issue that is still relevant for our generation.

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” (I Timothy 3:14,15).

This concept was not new for the early church. It was a concept that was ingrained in every aspect of God’s desired relationship between Israel and the tabernacle and later the temple. A correct relationship between Israel and the house of God was imperative for their own benefit and it also served as a role model to individuals and nations that were observing their practice.

Just as the concept was not new for the early church, it was not God’s intention for the concept to perish with the early church. A correct relationship between the Christian and the house of God is still imperative for our own benefit and for our witness to those who are observing our practice.

For years I have been involved in Revival Ministry and Pastoral Ministry and throughout my ministry I have been convicted and convinced that a reoccurring theme in the war of Satan against God and His children concerns worship. Lucifer desired it while in Heaven (Isaiah 14; Ezekiel 28) – he desired it from Jesus in the wilderness temptations (Matthew 4) – and he desires it and will desire it at the end of time (Revelation 13).

In the book I share the Scriptural importance of: Church Attendance and Biblical behavior involving our Praise, Prayer, Financial Accountability, and Attention during times of worship. You will find that each of these areas is dealt with in a positive, constructive manner.
