We Love God!

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

The true Christian is one whose religion is in his heart and life. It is felt by himself in his heart. It is seen by others in his conduct and life. He feels his sinfulness, guilt and badness, and repents. He sees Jesus Christ to be that Divine Savior whom his soul needs, and commits himself to Him. He puts off the old man with his corrupt and carnal habits and puts on the new man. He lives a new and holy life, fighting habitually against the world, the flesh and the devil. Christ Himself is the cornerstone of his Christianity. Ask him in what he trusts for the forgiveness of his many sins, and he will tell you in the death of Christ. Ask him in what righteousness he hopes to stand innocent at the judgment day, and he will tell you it is the righteousness of Christ. Ask him by what pattern he tries to frame his life, and he will tell you that it is the example of Christ. But, beside all this, there is one thing in a true Christian which is eminently peculiar to him. That thing is love to Christ.
J.C. Ryle

Men that have their spirits heated and enraged and rising in bitter resentment when they are injured act as if they thought some strange thing had happened to them. Whereas they are very foolish in so thinking for it is no strange thing at all but only what was to be expected in a world like this. They therefore do not act wisely that allow their spirits to be ruffled by the injuries they suffer.
Jonathan Edwards

    ECCLES 11:1 [] Ριψον τον αρτον σου επι προσωπον των υδατων· διοτι εν ταις πολλαις ημεραις θελεις ευρει αυτον.

    ECCLES 11:2 Δος μεριδιον εις επτα και ετι εις οκτω· διοτι δεν εξευρεις τι κακον θελει γεινει επι της γης.

    ECCLES 11:3 Εαν τα νεφη ηναι πληρη, θελουσι διαχυσει βροχην επι την γην· και εαν δενδρον πεση προς τον νοτον η προς τον βορραν, εν τω τοπω οπου πεση το δενδρον, εκει θελει μεινει.

    ECCLES 11:4 Οστις παρατηρει τον ανεμον, δεν θελει σπειρει· και οστις θεωρει τα νεφη, δεν θελει θερισει.

    ECCLES 11:5 Καθως δεν γνωριζεις τις η οδος του ανεμου ουδε τινι τροπω μορφονονται τα οστα εν τη κοιλια της κυοφορουσης, ουτω δεν γνωριζεις τα εργα του Θεου, οστις καμνει τα παντα.

    ECCLES 11:6 Σπειρε τον σπορον σου το πρωι, και την εσπεραν ας μη ησυχαση η χειρ σου· διοτι δεν εξευρεις τι θελει ευδοκιμησει, τουτο η εκεινο, η εαν και τα δυο ηναι επισης αγαθα.

    ECCLES 11:7 [] Γλυκυ βεβαια ειναι το φως, και ευαρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους να βλεπωσι τον ηλιον·

    ECCLES 11:8 αλλα και εαν ο ανθρωπος ζηση ετη πολλα και ευφραινηται εν πασι τουτοις, ας ενθυμηθη ομως τας ημερας του σκοτους, οτι θελουσιν εισθαι πολλαι. Παντα τα συμβαινοντα ματαιοτης.

    ECCLES 11:9 Ευφραινου, νεανισκε, εν τη νεοτητι σου· και η καρδια σου ας σε χαροποιη εν ταις ημεραις της νεοτητος σου· και περιπατει κατα τας επιθυμιας της καρδιας σου και κατα την ορασιν των οφθαλμων σου· πλην εξευρε, οτι δια παντα ταυτα ο Θεος θελει σε φερει εις κρισιν.

    ECCLES 11:10 Και αφαιρεσον τον θυμον απο της καρδιας σου, και απομακρυνον την πονηριαν απο της σαρκος σου· διοτι η νεοτης και η παιδικη ηλικια ειναι ματαιοτης.
