Book Of Haggai

Governed By Priorities

Rebuilding the temple is the primary theme of Haggai.  However, it was not of a personal concern for many of God's people.  Haggai emphasizes the importance of a finished temple as a reflection of their obedience to God.  An unfinished or neglected temple would be at their own peril.  Likewise, our bodies are the temple of God and must be cared for in a manner that is pleasing to God.

The Following will be expounded upon soon...

Many Christians are very discouraged because they lack a sense of  accomplishment or success in their service for Christ.  Success as a goal is a cruel slave master masquerading in a deep rooted  and subtle display of pride.   There is only one thing a Christian can succeed in: Faith in God (Hebrews 11:6).  Faith in God acknowledges the faithfulness of the living God.  Success is a finite  treasure.  Sanctification by the grace of God is a treasure of eternal value.  This is what Haggai emphasized in his assignment and message to God's people.
