I think we need a group session so we can work out a few issues. I would like to volunteer to be on the door..

Of course, there are a lot worse things you can do with tent pegs: Judges 4:17-22 Now Sisera had fled away on foot to the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between King Jabin of Hazor and the clan of Heber the Kenite. Jael came out to meet Sisera, and said to him, ‘Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; have no fear.’ So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. Then he said to her, ‘Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.’ So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him. He said to her, ‘Stand at the entrance of the tent, and if anybody comes and asks you, “Is anyone here?” say, “No.” ’ But Jael wife of Heber took a tent-peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, until it went down into the ground—he was lying fast asleep from weariness—and he died. Then, as Barak came in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, ‘Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.’ So he went into her tent; and there was Sisera lying dead, with the tent-peg in his temple. LOL Philip!

So, if they are recruiting a gatekeeper, who is the key master? As for question 2, God had a tent, so I guess not! Psalm 15:1-5 "O Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill? 2Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right, and speak the truth from their heart; 3who do not slander with their tongue, and do no evil to their friends, nor take up a reproach against their neighbours; 4in whose eyes the wicked are despised, but who honour those who fear the Lord; who stand by their oath even to their hurt; 5who do not lend money at interest, and do not take a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things shall never be moved. Reminds me of the film Ghostbusters. So, if they are recruiting a gatekeeper, who is the key master?

As for question 2, God had a tent, so I guess not!

Psalm 15:1-5

“O Lord, who may abide in your tent?
Who may dwell on your holy hill?
2Those who walk blamelessly, and do what is right,
and speak the truth from their heart;
3who do not slander with their tongue,
and do no evil to their friends,
nor take up a reproach against their neighbours;
4in whose eyes the wicked are despised,
but who honour those who fear the Lord;
who stand by their oath even to their hurt;
5who do not lend money at interest,
and do not take a bribe against the innocent.
Those who do these things shall never be moved.

I always wondered what was happening in Judges 4:21 and now I know. No more messing about with tentpegs in that particular campsite after that I would think.

So you should probably be able to say "you aren't supposed to be here are you" using only your eyes as a job requirement.
