We Love God!

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

Happy is that man, that can be acquitted by himself in private, by others in public, and by God in both.
Joseph Hall

Biblical church discipline is simple obedience to God and a simple confession that we need help. We cannot live the Christian life alone. Our purpose in church discipline is positive for the individual disciplined, for other Christians as they see the real danger of sin, for the health of the church as a whole, and for the corporate witness of the church to those outside. Most of all, our holiness is to reflect the holiness of God. It should mean something to be a member of the church, not for our pride’s sake but for God’s name’s sake. Biblical church discipline is a mark of a healthy church.
Mark Dever

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 诗篇 97

97
 神是最高的统治者
耶和华作王!愿地快乐!
愿众海岛欢喜!
密云和幽暗在他的四围;
公义和公平是他宝座的根基。
有烈火在他前头行,
烧灭他四围的敌人。
他的闪电光照世界,
大地看见便震动。
诸山见耶和华的面,
就是全地之主的面,便消化如蜡。
 
诸天表明他的公义;
万民看见他的荣耀。
愿一切事奉雕刻的偶像、
靠虚无之神自夸的,都蒙羞愧。
万神哪,你们都当拜他。
耶和华啊,锡安听见你的判断就欢喜;
犹大的城邑+也都快乐。
因为你—耶和华至高,超乎全地;
你被尊崇,远超万神之上。
 
10 你们爱耶和华的,都当恨恶罪恶;
他保护圣民的性命,
搭救他们脱离恶人的手。
11 散布亮光是为义人;
预备喜乐是为正直人。
12 你们义人当靠耶和华欢喜,
称谢他可记念的圣
