We Love God!

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

God has provided all we need for our pursuit of holiness. He has delivered us from the reign of sin and given us His indwelling Holy Spirit. He has revealed His will for holy living in His Word, and He works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose. He has sent pastors and teachers to exhort and encourage us in the path of holiness; and He answers our prayers when we cry to Him for strength against temptation.
Jerry Bridges

Let’s never be intimidated or depressed by our ordinariness and inadequacy and unimpressiveness. Most of us are quite ordinary. All of us can improve our preaching, and we will. But the sacred given is the message of the cross, which the Holy Spirit empowers in men of the cross. Let’s not disempower it. Let’s trust God’s strategy. God Himself entered into His own strategy through an egoless nobody named Jesus Christ, whom this brilliant world crucified. That Christ is sending us out to preach His message by His power. We are fully equipped in every essential with the testimony of God, the message of Christ crucified, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Will you decide to stake your whole ministry there?

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 诗篇 12

12
求助的祈祷
大卫的诗,交与伶长。调用第八。
耶和华啊,求你帮助,因虔诚人断绝了;
世人中间的忠信人没有了。
人人向邻舍说谎;
他们说话,是嘴唇油滑,心口不一。
 
凡油滑的嘴唇和夸大的舌头,
耶和华必要剪除。
他们曾说:我们必能以舌头得胜;
我们的嘴唇是我们自己的,
谁能作我们的主呢?
 
耶和华说:因为困苦人的冤屈
和贫穷人的叹息,
我现在要起来,
把他安置在他所切慕的稳妥之地。
耶和华的言语是纯净的言语,
如同银子在泥炉中炼过七次。
 
耶和华啊,你必保护他们;
你必保佑他们永远脱离这世代的人。
下流人在世人中升高,
就有恶人到处游行。
