We Love God!

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

The focus of health in the soul is humility, while the root of inward corruption is pride. In the spiritual life, nothing stands still. If we are not constantly growing downward into humility, we shall be steadily swelling up and running to seed under the influence of pride.
J.I. Packer

God does not exalt His mercy at the expense of His justice. And in order to maintain His justice, all sin without exception must be punished. Contrary to popular opinion, with God there is no such thing as mere forgiveness. There is only justice.
Jerry Bridges

    Looking for Heroes

    Maybe you're like me, and find yourself searching for a Hero.

    When Harrison Ford played the part of President on "Air Force One", I
    commented that I wished our real president was like him (Clinton was president
    at that time).

    When I was a child, I thought John F. Kennedy was a great president. Then he
    was replaced in my mind with Abraham Lincoln, who has remained my favorite President
    almost ever since.

    What makes a Hero? And why do we need them? And a nagging question for me,
    is why are we sometimes so willing to settle for such pathetic examples of Heroes?
