Psalm 15

in this Psalm of David, he described the states/status of man, who are near to God, and dwell and enjoy the presence of God - he is not a man doing some great things, but a man with a true heart before God; a man keeps his acts right, keep his tongue, honor justice hate evil, and not covetnous over gain. This man shall dwell in His presence.


Psalm 15

A psalm of David.

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?

2 He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart

3 and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong
and casts no slur on his fellowman,

4 who despises a vile man
but honors those who fear the LORD,
who keeps his oath
even when it hurts,

5 who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
will never be shaken.

the Cross and the the flesh

http://www.christiantapeministry.com/tape.php?id=2367

1st part- the Cross and the old man

Romans 5- the princple from one to many; one man sins - all, also one man's righteousness - many ; only two men in the sight of God, only one man for the all the - natural man, only one man- Christ for all in Christ

the old man is the man of old - the corporate man of Adam's race- we have to be delivered from the old man, delivered from Adam - only through death can we be delivered from the old man

1 Cor 15 - in Christ

Romans 6:6 God's way of deliverance is not eradication but seperation; use the way of isolation to deliver us from sin; to such a degree that sin is so isolated that it can not longer work anymore

Roman 6:11 - reckon yourself dead to sin(in Christ Jesus), but alive to God in Christ Jesus - this is faith, based on facts and not on feelings - the objective facts Christ has done historically - when we see Christ, we found that we are truly dead in Christ

Body - the unemployed body to sin, but yield yourself to God, your members as instruments of righteousness

10-22-06 Sunday message on the topic of the Cross and the Church

verses: Matt 16, Colos 1:13

the focus of the message in on Christ's words, in Matt 16

first part on Matt 16: 16, from the revelation to Peter, our Lord said He is going to build His church on this rock - the intepretation of the rock here we can think of the context, where Peter just received this great revelation about Christ's identity. - this is a very great and important revelation, not just merely mental, but is a revelation of Jesus's identy. - which we much need to pray and receive. - another thought on this matter is the act of proclaiming at the same time of receiving this revelation - thus this revelation becomes reality on this earth, in our personal life.

second part pays close attention to the word His Church - where Christ referred to as "my Church". this reminds us the intimacy of the Church's relationship with Christ, as well as reminds us the simple meaning about the word "Church" - the called out ones. where the people are called out to Christ, assembled for the simple reason to be with Him - where He actually imparts His very life to all of His body(also ref Colos 1:13).- which are more developed in the next part.

The last part of the mssages emphasized on the Cross - take up his cross and follow me. The act of taking up the cross, in historical context means already sentenced to death, already died - think about the meaning of our baptism; through this death of His, we are freed from self, and entering into freedom of obeying God. Another thoughts occurs to me is that this is not of works, but of grace through faith in Him. Praise Him for caring to the deepest of our being, and reached to the deepest of our sinful beining to bring us to life in Him.

another picture is a great example to be a good receiver - baby bird expecting food from parents

the necessary changes of transforming our mind

grace is Christ, His indwelling

our responsibility - the receiving; the end view, be conformed to the image of His Son; 7 things added to our faith -by faith 2 Peter 5-11
