Wilberforce: whose throne?

Monday, September 22, 2014
Meditation:
    Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
    —1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (NIV)
Quotation:
    God insists that He set up His throne in the heart, and reign in it, without a rival. If we keep Him from His right, it will not matter by what competitor.
