We Love God!

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

Accountability questions asked of his fellow pastors: 1. Have you been with a woman anywhere this past week that might be seen as compromising? 2. Have any of your financial dealings lacked integrity? 3. Have you exposed yourself to any sexually explicit material? 4. Have you spend adequate time in Bible study and prayer? 5. Have you given priority time to your family? 6. Have you fulfilled the mandates of your calling? 7. Have you just lied to me?
Charles Swindoll

The more excellent something is the more likely it will be imitated. There are many false diamonds and rubies, but who goes about making counterfeit pebbles? However, the more excellent things are the more difficult it is to imitate them in their essential character and intrinsic virtues. Yet the more variable the imitations be, the more skill and subtlety will be used in making them an exact imitation. So it is with Christian virtues and graces. The devil and men's own deceitful hearts tend to imitate those things that have the highest value. So no graces are more counterfeited than love and humility. For these are the virtues where the beauty of a true Christian is seen most clearly.
Jonathan Edwards

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 诗篇 94

94
 神审判万人
耶和华啊,你是伸冤的 神;
伸冤的 神啊,求你发出光来!
审判世界的主啊,求你挺身而立,
使骄傲人受应得的报应!
耶和华啊,恶人夸胜要到几时呢?
要到几时呢?
 
他们絮絮叨叨说傲慢的话;
一切作孽的人都自己夸张。
耶和华啊,他们强压你的百姓,
苦害你的产业。
他们杀死寡妇和寄居的,
又杀害孤儿。
他们说:耶和华必不看见;
雅各的 神必不思念。
 
你们民间的畜类人当思想;
你们愚顽人到几时才有智慧呢?
造耳朵的,难道自己不听见吗?
造眼睛的,难道自己不看见吗?
10 管教列邦的,就是叫人得知识的,
难道自己不惩治人吗?
11 耶和华知道人的意念是虚妄的。
 
12 耶和华啊,你所管教、
用律法所教训的人是有福的!
13 你使他在遭难的日子得享平安;
惟有恶人陷在所挖的坑中。
14 因为耶和华必不丢弃他的百姓,
也不离弃他的产业。
15 审判要转向公义;
心里正直的,必都随从。
 
16 谁肯为我起来攻击作恶的?
谁肯为我站起抵挡作孽的?
17 若不是耶和华帮助我,
我就住在寂静之中了。
18 我正说我失了脚,
耶和华啊,那时你的慈爱扶助我。
19 我心里多忧多疑,
你安慰我,就使我欢乐。
 
20 那借着律例架弄残害、
在位上行奸恶的,岂能与你相交吗?
21 他们大家聚集攻击义人,
将无辜的人定为死罪。
22 但耶和华向来作了我的高台;
我的 神作了我投靠的磐石。
23 他叫他们的罪孽归到他们身上。
他们正在行恶之中,他要剪除他们;
耶和华—我们的 神要把他们剪除。
