Psalms 15:1-5

This is a very interesting Psalm because it starts with questions.

There are only 51 questions in the book of Psalms and this chapter begins with two of those questions.

Who can dwell in your tent?  Who can live on your holy mountain?

David proceeds to give us a list of requirements from those who wanted to come into the House of the Lord.

These are the requirements that David lays out for the people of God - 
1. Walk blameless.
2. Do right.
3. Speak truth.
4. Do not slander.
5. Do no evil.
6. Take up no reproach against his friend.
7. Honor those who fear the Lord.
8. Keep our word even if it hurts us.
9. Do not take advantage of a neighbor in need.
10. Refuse the bribe against the innocent.

All these requirements are focused on our relationship with our fellowman.

Matthew 5:21-24

You love and serve Him by loving and serving them. - T.L. Osborn

Matthew 24:10

Jesus came…. This changes everything and changes nothing.

Hebrews 8:6

You don't get good to get God - you get God to get good. - Kentucky Proverb

We must have holiness in the house!

The world needs to see a holy church.
