The real first post

Reading great book - Kingdom Agenda by Tony Evans.  He talks early on about the "Discount God" that many people in the world follow.  They are looking for a deal, for a sale.  They want a little this or a little that.  It reminded me about the school pictures we used to get.  The packages they put together that give you a little of what you want and likely some of what you don't.


God knows we don't like green beans, but insists that when we sit at His table we eat up.  We clean the plate.  Why?  He knows we need the nourishment, the discipline.  We need His rules.  The reality is that when you get God, you get His Kingdom and with His Kingdom comes His rules.


Psalm 241 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, 
   the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
   and established it on the waters.

 3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
   Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
   who does not trust in an idol
   or swear by a false god.

 5 They will receive blessing from the LORD
