📘 This Episode's Read: The Treasury of David – Psalm 15
✍️ Theme: The Citizen of Zion – Integrity in a World of Compromise

We often talk about God's "welcome," but do we ever stop to consider His standards?

In this deep dive into Charles Spurgeon’s exposition of Psalm 15, we face the most intimidating question in Scripture: "Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?" We discover that God's house is not a shelter for sin, but a "Hive for Workers." Spurgeon reveals that while this Psalm sets a standard of perfection that only Jesus Christ can fully meet, it also serves as a mirror for the believer. We explore the "Closet of the Heart," the "Peddler of Gossip," and why true faith keeps its promises even when the market crashes.

❓ Questions to Ponder in This Episode:
– The Hive vs. The Nest: Spurgeon says God's house is a "hive for workers, not a nest for drones." Is your faith active or passive?
– The Devil in the Ear: Why is listening to gossip just as sinful as speaking it? (The "Receiver of Stolen Goods" principle).
– Swearing to Your Own Hurt: Do you keep your word even when it costs you money or reputation? – The Unshakable Promise: How does the "movable tent" of our earthly life lead to the "immovable hill" of eternity?

🎧 Perfect for You If:
– You are tired of "cheap grace" and want to understand the high call of holy living.
– You struggle with gossip—either speaking it or tolerating it in your circle.
– You need reassurance that your integrity (in business or relationships) matters to God, even when the world mocks it.
