We Love God!

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

No man ever repented on his deathbed of being a Christian.
Hannah More

How can Satan in a subtle way get people to disregard the truth on Sunday morning? How about getting people to think the sermon is entertainment or sitting through an entire sermon for a need to uphold a religious duty? Yeah, nothing about coming prepared to hear God’s Word. According to Satan - I’ll keep them out late on Saturday night. I’ll distract them with Sunday afternoon plans. I’ll have them put way more time into looking good physically than preparing their hearts spiritually before coming to church. I’ll have them arrive late so they can miss the singing to prepare their hearts to receive the truth and then distract others trying to worship when they stroll in. I’ll get them to believe the message is more intended for someone else. I’ll get them to listen for the 1% they disagree with as compared to the 99% they need to know. I’ll convince them that applying what they just heard is optional. And then I’ll get them to forget about what they heard before they even reach their cars.

4:1 verti me ad alia et vidi calumnias quae sub sole geruntur et lacrimas innocentum et consolatorem neminem nec posse resistere eorum violentiae cunctorum auxilio destitutos

4:2 et laudavi magis mortuos quam viventes

4:3 et feliciorem utroque iudicavi qui necdum natus est nec vidit mala quae sub sole fiunt

4:4 rursum contemplatus omnes labores hominum et industrias animadverti patere invidiae proximi et in hoc ergo vanitas et cura superflua est

4:5 stultus conplicat manus suas et comedit carnes suas dicens

4:6 melior est pugillus cum requie quam plena utraque manus cum labore et adflictione animi

4:7 considerans repperi et aliam vanitatem sub sole

4:8 unus est et secundum non habet non filium non fratrem et tamen laborare non cessat nec satiantur oculi eius divitiis nec recogitat dicens cui laboro et fraudo animam meam bonis in hoc quoque vanitas est et adflictio pessima

4:9 melius ergo est duos simul esse quam unum habent enim emolumentum societatis suae

4:10 si unus ceciderit ab altero fulcietur vae soli quia cum ruerit non habet sublevantem

4:11 et si dormierint duo fovebuntur mutuo unus quomodo calefiet

4:12 et si quispiam praevaluerit contra unum duo resistent ei funiculus triplex difficile rumpitur

4:13 melior est puer pauper et sapiens rege sene et stulto qui nescit providere in posterum

4:14 quod et de carcere catenisque interdum quis egrediatur ad regnum et alius natus in regno inopia consumatur

4:15 vidi cunctos viventes qui ambulant sub sole cum adulescente secundo qui consurgit pro eo

4:16 infinitus numerus est populi omnium qui fuerunt ante eum et qui postea futuri sunt non laetabuntur in eo sed et hoc vanitas et adflictio spiritus

4:17 custodi pedem tuum ingrediens domum Dei multo enim melior est oboedientia quam stultorum victimae qui nesciunt quid faciant mali
