We Love God!

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

Read not to contradict or confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tested, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
Francis Bacon

Concerns related to the altar call: 1. There is no clear biblical precedent or command related to the modern public invitation or altar call. 2. Many today equate “coming to faith” with “coming down the aisle.” 3. There is a danger of giving assurance to those who are unconverted. 4. A large number of people who are “converted” during altar calls fall away. 5. The altar call can be effective in getting people to respond even if a clear, biblical presentation of the gospel and accurate biblical preaching are absent. 6. Scripture already explains how a convert is to make his profession public – baptism and a holy life. 7. For some, the use of an altar call uncovers a lack of trust in the sovereignty of God.

称颂的圣诗
大卫的赞美诗。
我的 神我的王啊,我要尊崇你!
我要永永远远称颂你的名!
我要天天称颂你,
也要永永远远赞美你的名!
耶和华本为大,该受大赞美;
其大无法测度。
 
这代要对那代颂赞你的作为,
也要传扬你的大能。
我要默念你威严的尊荣
和你奇妙的作为。
人要传说你可畏之事的能力;
我也要传扬你的大德。
他们记念你的大恩就要传出来,
并要歌唱你的公义。
 
耶和华有恩惠,有怜悯,
不轻易发怒,大有慈爱。
耶和华善待万民;
他的慈悲覆庇他一切所造的。
 
10 耶和华啊,你一切所造的都要称谢你;
你的圣民也要称颂你,
11 传说你国的荣耀,
谈论你的大能,
12 好叫世人知道你大能的作为,
并你国度威严的荣耀。
13 你的国是永远的国!
你执掌的权柄存到万代!
 
14 凡跌倒的,耶和华将他们扶持;
凡被压下的,将他们扶起。
15 万民都举目仰望你;
你随时给他们食物。
16 你张手,
使有生气的都随愿饱足。
17 耶和华在他一切所行的,无不公义;
在他一切所做的都有慈爱。
18 凡求告耶和华的,就是诚心求告他的,
耶和华便与他们相近。
19 敬畏他的,他必成就他们的心愿,
也必听他们的呼求,拯救他们。
20 耶和华保护一切爱他的人,
却要灭绝一切的恶人。
 
21 我的口要说出赞美耶和华的话;
惟愿凡有血气的都永永远远称颂他的圣名。
