“Slowly, through all the universe the temple of God is being built. And whenever, in any place, a soul by freewilled obedience, catches the fire of God’s likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone.” Phillips Broooks.

Why? Look at the Israelites, he parted the seas, let them cross, while he blocked the Egyptians from attacking with pillars of fire, and when they were across, the Egyptians pursued them and he brought the walls of water down on them.
Now think of it in another sense, think about it, he set our nation in the midst of two oceans, which has protected us from complete and devastating wars. In WW II, other than Pearl Harbor, and while the rest of the world suffered from the destruction of war, the United States was untouched.
God has blessed this nation in ways that we don’t always recognize.
And even in recent times, after the attacks of 9/11, our nation is still protected by God’s invisible hand. A force that we cannot see, but he is ever present in the protection of his people.

In his book entitled "A Gentle Thunder" Max Lucado says, "Once there was a man who dared God to speak; Burn the bush like You did for Moses, God. And I will follow. Collapse the walls like you did for Joshua, God. And I will fight. Still the waves like you did on Galilee, God. And I will listen. And so the man sat by a bush, near a wall, close to the sea and waited for God to speak. And God heard the man, so God answered. He sent fire, not for a bush, but for a church. He brought down a wall, not of brick, but of sin. He stilled a storm, not of the sea, but of a soul. And God waited for the man to respond. And He waited….and waited. But because the man was looking a bushes, n...

CHRIST MAINTAINS THE WORK

This truth is pictured in the book Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan. There’s a scene in which Christian is taken into a room by the Interpreter, who is explaining various truths to him. Here is the scene. (I’ve smoothed out some of the King James English in a couple spots to make it more readable.)

Then I saw in my dream that the Interpreter took Christian by the hand, and led him into a place where was a fire burning against a wall, and one standing by it, always casting much water upon it, to quench it; yet did the fire burn higher and hotter.

Then said Christian, What means this? The enemy Interpreter answered, this fire is the work of grace that is wrought in the heart; he that casts water upon it, to extinguish and put it out, is the Devil; but in that you see the fire still burning higher and hotter, you shall also see the reason for that. So he had him about to the backside of the wall, where he saw a man with a vessel of oil in his hand, of which he did also continually cast, but secretly, into the fire.

Then said Christian, What means this? The Interpreter answered, this is Christ, who continually, with the oil of his grace, maintains the work already begun in the heart: by means of which, no matter what the devil can do, the souls of his people prove gracious still. And in that you saw that the man stood behind the wall to maintain the fire, that is to teach you that it is hard for the tempted to see how this work of grace is maintained in the soul.

In other words, Christ maintains the work of faith begun in our hearts, though to our eyes we find it hard to see how that will happen.

One of the greatest stories ever written was when Paul and Silas were in Philippi, with swollen ankles, bleeding backs, beaten with rods, in a rat infested inner prison. Apparently that is a good platform for revival. Apparently that is a good time to write history.

Do you hear them grumbling?
Do you hear them criticizing everybody else?
Do you hear them running everybody else down?
Do you hear them talking or complaining?

-Paul said, “We will not look at our difficulties. We will not measure the height of these walls, neither will we look at any of this.” The inner prison was indescribable, but Paul said, “I will remember the Lord God who split the Red Sea and He is the God of the cloud and the fire.”

-“I know that I cannot curse the darkness, there is only one thing that can take care of the darkness. I will light a little torch. Let’s sing. I know that it is midnight, but I am going to use everything I have. My hands are in stocks. My feet are in bonds. I’m beaten but I can wiggle my fingers and toes. I have a mouth. I am not going to wait for big things. I am not going to wait for the moment.”

-They turned a place of torture into a cathedral of triumph...
