...And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.-Hebrews 11:4
The House of God is a threshing floor, the place where all is threshed out before the Lord. All our chaff, our vanities, our emptiness, is being got rid of, all that really does not count. No chaff here; nothing that is not real, genuine, true, solid; nothing that will not contribute to building up.
God is after that which builds His house, or, to change the metaphor, the body. He is after the corn. The chaff must go. In our very relationship to the Lord amongst His people, as forming His house, we find He is winnowing, threshing, getting rid of our vanity, our unreality, our chaff. But in so doing He is getting reality, He is getting what is solid, what will stand.
