Why I Believe What I Believe

Day 24

Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

Bethel (house of God) ElBethel (God of the House of God)  Going to the house of God is not as important as meeting with the God of the House of God while there.

Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

Gen 31:13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

Gen 35:7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:

This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.

While at church our focus should always be on God himself. Church is not for what we can get out of it but what we put into our worship of Him.

1Ti 3:15 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.

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

What is your idea of a good Sunday?  Is it that you went to church or is it that you met God there?
