December 21, 2012 – Ezekiel 8 – 9

I was wondering if anybody but Catholics use incense anymore.  Our church just started using it on a much more regular basis.  I love the use of it and its symbolism.  Paul has seen it so often he has used a play tape measure to replicate it.  It took us a while to figure out what he was trying to do at first.  He would just swing the tape measure back and forth and say “I am making smoke”. 

How many people have the view today that God cannot see them.  They act as though things they do in private are beyond God.  Not only are they known by God, but there is no action that is completely private.  All of our actions affect others if only in the fact that they affect us and we affect others.  There is no private sin.

Here is another left behind account.  Just like with Noah, it is the ones that are left behind (marked with and X) that you want to be when the wrath of God comes.  The ones that were taken were those that were performing the abominations.
