The Tabernacle Of The Creator

from Let Us Go Into The Next Towns by worldlink

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.  In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.”  (Psalms 19:1-4)

An amazing scripture!  Can you imagine all that God has done with His creation to make Himself known! 

• The heavens declare His glory.   
  
• The earth displays His power.
  
• Each day delivers His message.
  
• Each night demonstrates His knowledge.
  
• Their message defines His graciousness.
  

And these wonderful messages are being preached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year to all people everywhere in the world.  Notice the words in verse 4:  “through all the earth” and again “to the end of the world”.  

We see that God is busy every moment of the day declaring the message of Himself but wait, there is something more that is necessary that I as a believer must add.  I am called to be involved in A CONCERT IN THE TABERNACLE OF THE CREATOR.  The definition of ”concert” is among other things, “to act together in harmony”.  If you check your Bible you will see that Psalm 19:4 is quoted in Romans 10:18.  In the verses prior to verse 18 we find our part in the harmonious concert that is to be heard in the Tabernacle of the Creator.  “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?  and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach, except they be sent?  Even with all the other glorious parts in this concert, there must be the preaching of the Word of God.  Because “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”.  

Beloved we are sent to join the concert to make God known among all nations.  There are multitudes who await the full chorus.  I want my voice to be heard in the harmonious testimony of our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.  Will you join this great tabernacle choir?  Where can you go to add your voice in concert with what God is already declaring?  Join in this great concert in the Tabernacle of the Creator.

It is not too early to start praying and asking God to prepare your hearts for our Missions Conference. The dates, as you know, are October 12-15, and we have a good group of missionaries who will be sharing their burdens with us.

You can start praying for the following missionaries:

Mel & Jan Wingrove, Evangelical Mission to Uruguay

David & Lynn Cordell, Missionaries to the Jewish population of Atlanta

Ron Maggard, Baptist Evangelism (Florida, Cuba, Guatemala, and other places)

We already support the Wingroves, and we are excited to have them back with us. The other two are new to us, and we are anxiously awaiting hearing from them.

Please pray for their safety on the roads, their families, and that God would use them in a mighty way.

I picked this up from the blog of Ron Maggard, a missionary who will be with us in our Missions Conference in October. This is very good reading and very important, especially today.

God Is Looking For A Church For His Mission


While many today are looking for a mission for their church, God is looking for a church for His mission.  His mission is clear.  It is about Him being glorified in all the earth.  He is glorified when the Name of Christ is known and magnified in all places.  Sadly most of the world still lies beyond the sound of the Gospel.  We as believers gathering in churches are commanded to go into all nations.  Some satisfy themselves by token involvements in this small mission or that thinking that they have accomplished something great.  They are a bit confused about their mission.  God sent his Son who established His church here upon the earth to fulfill this great mission to preach the Gospel to all nations.  How sad it is that so many churches today have little involvement in that masterful purpose for which they were established.  Many of the early churches and believers are great examples by their clear understanding of this global mission.  Today the average church shows little that demonstrates their understanding of God’s global mission.  Beloved, are you looking for a mission?  Stop looking!  God already has one.  It is a grand and glorious mission.  It is expansive and ongoing.  Get involved in His mission of getting the Gospel to all nations.  God is looking for a church for His mission.
