In Jeremiah 7, Jeremiah exposes the crazy thoughts of the people that made them think they were safe if they just said, “The temple is the Lord’s, the temple is the Lord’s, the temple is the Lord’s!”
They then went on to live their lives exactly as if God didn’t exist! There are no verbal formulas that can save them (or us!), yet they tried. It was denial in the fullest.
Maybe we don’t say things three times to feel safe, but do we sing them? What is God’s idea of godliness anyway? Jer 7 gives a slightly different picture from what we expect.
Check it out, and come and hear more about it this Sunday.

The Bi90ten challenge is here! It starts on Wednesday 5 May. A whole group of us are going to have a crack at reading the Bible right through in 90 days.
I’ve done it two years in a row now and really can’t wait to get it started.
It’s the 3 months of the year when I feel the most disciplined in my life.
• PLUS: The sense of achievement is awesome.
• PLUS PLUS: I learn so much about the big picture in the Bible.
