We Love God!

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

As we grow spiritually, we learn the difference between the Spirit’s voice and the evil one's voice. The Spirit never witnesses to your spirit in condemnation. He might give you a check sometimes: “Wait a minute. Wait a minute.” But not in condemnation. He might tell you you're wrong sometimes. But not in condemnation. He rebukes, He corrects, He points out, but He never condemns. He wants to build you up, to undergird you, to increase your understanding of the life of God in you. He wants you to see how God already sees you. You are a saint, a holy one. You are blameless. You are beyond reproach.
Dan Stone

Justification by faith is an answer to the greatest personal question ever asked by a human soul: 'How shall I be right with God? How do I stand in God’s sight? With what favor does he look upon me?' There are those, I admit, who never raise that question. There are those who are concerned with the question of their standing before men but never with the question of their standing before God. There are those who are interested in what 'people say' but not in the question of what God says. Such men, however, are not those who move the world. They are apt to go with the current. They are apt to do as others do. They are not the heroes who change the destinies of the race. The beginning of true nobility comes when a man ceases to be interested in the judgment of men and becomes interested in the judgment of God.

    THE LOST SON

    Luke 15:11-24

    11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And the younger of them said to [his] father, Father, give me the portion of goods

    that falleth [to me]. And he divided unto them [his] living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and

    took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he

    would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did

    eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he

    said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and

    to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my

    father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against

    heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called

    thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose,

    and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his

    father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck,

    and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have

    sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to

    be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring

    forth the best robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his

    hand, and shoes on [his] feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted

    calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my

    son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And

    they began to be merry.
