Dwelling Place

Indonesia- Island of Sumatra
This island is one of the biggest in the country and the 6th largest in the world.  They do have good natural resources, but exploitation is common.  Because of it's location, the island is prone to natural disasters and has had to recover from extensive damage.  There are many unevangelized here, but Christianity is strong among former animists.  The Chinese also have a large population here and have great potential for receiving and spreading the gospel.

Ecclesiastes 4-6
Solomon is continuing his thoughts about so many things being worthless.  Today he says that to be alone and toil for no one is meaningless... that two are better than one.  He warns against making promises to God that you do not intend to keep... you should fear the Lord.  And he talks about the worthlessness of wealth... it is vanity and a chasing after the wind.

Psalm 47
"Clap your hands, shout to God with songs of joy!  Sing praises, sing praises, sing praises!  God is the king, God reigns, sing praises!" Maybe more of my own paraphrase than a direct quote.  :)

Proverbs 22:16
"Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty."

2 Corinthians 6:14-7:7
We are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers.  I guess I had only ever thought of this in the dating/marriage relationship, but the Word doesn't actually specify that.  It just tells us not to tie ourselves to people that oppose us.  In the same with that light and darkness, or righteousness and lawlessness do not mix (think oil and water) we do not mix with unbelievers.  For we have become the temple of God.  When Jesus made a way for us to get to God, we became His dwelling place, no longer a room in a building.  Paul goes on to described some afflictions that he has endured, but states that he is joyful because of the report he has heard about the Corinthians.
