God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
How many of us, who are engaged in the Lord's holy service, are secretly cherishing some proud aspiration of excelling other men, of making a name for ourselves, of securing money or fame! We will use the pulpit as a pedestal for the adulation of the world, and the cross for a post on which to hang garlands to our own glory. How often do we preach sermons, or make addresses, and attend meetings, with no other thought than to secure the recognition and praise of those to whom we “minister.” All of this must be laid aside. We must have no selfish, prideful ulterior motives to serve Christ.
[The pastor] is acquainted with the Holy Scriptures, he is exercised in holy duties, he lives not in open disgraceful sin, he serves at God’s altar, he reproves other men’s faults, and preaches up holiness both of heart and life; and how can this man choose but be holy?
