Isaiah

I am auditing a graduate class at OC on the book of Isaiah with Harold Shank. Our first class was last Tuesday but I can't wait til' tomorrow. The book of Isaiah is packed full of indications of the nature of God. This is why this book is so incredible. It is much of, God speaking through his prophet Isaiah to the people of Israel. The first 5 chapters are a little scary (you should read them). Listen to what Isaiah records in 5:25. Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he stretched out his hand against them and struck them and the mountains quaked: and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. And this is after the Israelites have been worshiping how God commanded them to worship! A bit scary when I think about my own tendencies to worship just because...that's what I've always done. These are extremely serious implications for God's people and what it means to really worship from the heart. I wonder what God would say about our meetings now?
