“Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness and in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young men, who are as the dew.” (Psalms 110:3) The womb of the morning... this is a womb that produces a people who walk in “the beauty of holiness and in holy array.” This people sounds so much like the people we read of in Ephesians chapter 5; “That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” (Ephesians 5:27) Now then, is it just me, or does it seem that there’s such an emphasis in the Church on presenting to the ‘world’ a glorious Church. We’re very ‘seeker-sensitive’, so concerned about outward appearances, our image, our buildings and programs geared to ‘meet YOUR needs, dear consumer... after all, you ARE shopping for a Church, aren’t you?’ (Excerpt from the book Dawning of the Third Day) Paperback- https://createspace/4393422 Kindle Edition- amazon/Dawning-Third-Day-ebook/dp/B00EFYTNJG/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid 1376165830&sr=1-5&keywords=doug+fortune
