Leviticus 27:14-Numbers 1:54
1.(2012) Turned to Matthew Henry in order to understand this section on purchasing a house made holy. Discovered this instead:
Blessed be God, there is a way of sanctifying our houses to be holy unto the Lord, without either selling them or buying them. If we and our houses serve the Lord, if religion rule in them, and we put away iniquity far from them, and have a church in our house, holiness to the Lord is written upon it, it is his, and he will dwell with us in it.2.(2012) I have a copy of "Family Religion" by Henry. It's excellent! One of his major themes is making your house a church:
It is a good thing when a man has a house of his own, thus to convert it into a church, by dedicating it to the service and honour of God, that it may be a Bethel, a house of God, and not a Bethaven, a house of vanity and iniquity. Every good Christian who is a householder, no doubt doth this habitually and virtually; having first given his own self to the Lord, he freely surrenders all he has to him."
Mark 11:1-26
Psalm 46:1-11
Proverbs 10:23
(2012)
23 A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct,
but a man of understanding delights in wisdom.
