We Love God!

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

Reprove seriously. Reproof is an edged tool, and must not be jested with. Cold reproofs are like the noise of cannons a great way off, nothing affrighting us. He that reproves sin merrily, as one that takes pride to show his wit and to make the company laugh, will destroy the sinner instead of the sin.
George Swinnock

The apostle expressly excludes “new converts” from office. Yet no one dreams that he would have made the newness of their salvation a ground of discrimination against their equal privileges in Christ… So every sane man would exclude children from office in the church, yet no one would disparage their equal interest in Christ… If, then, the equality of these classes in Christ did not imply their fitness for public office in the church, neither does the equality of females with males in Christ imply it.

Intriguing Idea for Dating

If life is like running a race, wouldn’t it be nice to date someone that is going in the same direction, and keeping up with your pace?

Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God’s holy Temple?  2 Corinthians 6

If a single person were to look to either side of the field they are running on, they may see someone of similar caliber that could be worthy.  Similar interests, similar values – and proving their intent to act in reaching the goal.  Why not become a friend to such a person?

Up to a real challenge?  Ask yourself “Am I running on the best field (in the right direction)?  Is what I am now, what I want to be?  Does this make God happy?”
