About this episode
We live in an age that is allergic to accountability. We want our grace cheap, our worship sentimental, and our obligations vague. We prefer to think of God's work in the world as a sort of ethereal, spiritual mist, something that cannot be quantified or measured. But the God of the Bible is not a vague God. He is a God who counts hairs on the head, who numbers the stars, and who keeps precise records. This was to be His dwelling place among His people, a portable Eden, the place where heaven and earth would meet. And after giving the detailed blueprints for its construction, we now come to what can only be described as a divine audit. This is the accounting of the materials, the final inventory of all the gold, silver, and bronze that was given by the people and used in the work.
