We Love God!

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

The preaching that kills may be, and often is, orthodox- dogmatically, inviolably orthodox. In the Christian system, unction is the anointing of the Holy Ghost, separating a person unto God’s work and preparing him for it. This unction is the one divine enablement by which the preacher accomplishes the peculiar and saving ends of preaching. Without this unction there are no true spiritual results accomplished. The results and forces in preaching do not rise above the results of unsanctified speech. Without unction the former is as potent as the pulpit…without the gospel has no more power to propagate itself than any other system of truth. This is the seal of its divinity. Unction in the preacher puts God in the gospel.
C.H. Spurgeon

The moral absolutes rest upon God’s character. The moral commands He has given to men are an expression of His character. Men as created in His image are to live by choice on the basis of what God is. The standards of morality are determined by what conforms to His character, while those things which do not conform are immoral.
Francis Schaeffer

    Christian Science Christian Science: Doctrine of ‘Prayer’

      ‘Prayer can neither change God, nor bind his designs into mortal modes – I have no objection to audible prayer of the right kind; but inaudible is more effectual.’
      No and Yes, pp. 39,40
      ‘If prayer nourishes the belief that sin is canceled, and that man is made better by merely praying, prayer is an evil. He grows worse who continues in sin because he fancies himself forgiven.’
      Science and Health, p. 4
      ‘Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates’
      Science and Health, p.4
      ‘The danger of prayer is that it may lead us into temptation’
      Science and Health, p. 7
      ‘The mere habit of pleading with the divine Mind, as one pleads with a human being, perpetuates the belief in God as humanly circumscribed, – an error which impedes spiritual growth’
      Science and Health, p.2
