We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

1. A losing our first love – When iniquity abounds, the love of many waxes cold (Rev 2:4; Mat 24:12). The affections get dull and blunted. 2. Losing the edge of our conscience – The conscience ceases to be sensitive and tender. It does not shrink from sin as it used to do. 3. Callousness as to truth – We get so familiarized with truth that it ceases to affect us. It loses its power over us. 4. Insensibility to sin – Our own evils are not felt as they used to be; sin itself is not so hated and shunned as formerly.
Horatius Bonar

When a preacher preaches with joy (in the midst of) suffering, the people will see Christ for the infinite value that He is, and, seeing, will cherish Him above all things and thus be changed from one degree of glory to the next. The glory of God will be magnified in the church and in the world, and the great aim of preaching will be achieved.
John Piper

133:1 ‘n Bedevaartslied. Van Dawid. Kyk, hoe goed en hoe lieflik is dit dat broers ook saamwoon!

133:2 Dit is soos die kosbare olie op die hoof, wat afloop op die baard, die baard van Aäron, wat afloop op die soom van sy klere.

133:3 Dit is soos die dou van Hermon wat neerdaal op die berge van Sion; want daar gebied die HERE die seën, die lewe tot in ewigheid!
