We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

A house of the Lord



“Then David the king stood upon his feet… I had in my mind to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord.” (1 Chronicles 28:2)
David was speaking here of building a Temple, but he was not allowed to do so because he had been a man of war. That is an entire different sermon about how war and anger and such affect our spirituality, but the subject today is rest. The Temple is a special place set aside for the Lord where those clean enough to enter can find rest, but should not our homes be dedicated to the Lord as well. Not in the same way as the Temple, but as much as possible and still be a home. Shouldn't it be a safe place of rest from the outside world.
