We Love God!

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

Some Christians misunderstand God's plan for His kingdom. They want to establish it their own way rather than waiting for God to do it His way. God's way of establishing the kingdom is primarily through the preaching of the cross. But that does not seem very effective to most people. They would prefer to use force, which is the kind of thinking that leads to bloody crusades. Or they would rather entertain people into the kingdom, which is the kind of thinking that leads to man-centered worship.
Philip Graham Ryken

In light of the profound reality of Jesus' full and uncompromised deity, His incarnation was the most profound possible humiliation. For Him to change in any way or to any degree, even temporarily by the divine decree of His Father, required descent. By definition, to forsake perfection requires taking on some form of imperfection. Yet without forsaking or in any way diminishing His perfect deity or His absolute holiness, in a way that is far beyond human comprehension, the Creator took on the form of the created. The Infinite became finite, the Sinless took sin upon Himself. The very heart of the gospel of redemption is that the Father “made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor. 5:21). Although that infinitely marvelous and cardinal gospel truth is impossible to understand it is necessary to believe.

    Road to Zion

    Posted on

    Listen

    There is a way that leads to lifeThe few that find it never diePast mountain peaks graced white with snowThe way grows brighter as it goes

    There is a road inside of youInside of me there is one tooNo stumbling pilgrim in the darkThe road to Zion’s in your heart
    The road to Zion’s in your heart

    The river runs beside the roadIts waters living as they flowIn liquid voice the water callsOn thirsty knees the pilgrim falls

    Sometimes a shadow dark and coldLays like a mist across the roadBut be encouraged by the sightWhere there’s a shadow, there’s a light

    Sometimes it’s good to look back downWe’ve come so far – we’ve gained such groundBut joy is not in where we’ve beenJoy is who’s waiting at the end
