God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Lord, grant that from hence I may learn to withdraw thoughts, affections, desires, and expectations entirely from the world, and may fix them upon the heavenly state, where there is fullness of joy; where reigns heavenly, sweet, calm, and delightful love without alloy; where there are continually the dearest expressions of this love; where there is the enjoyment of this love without ever parting; and where those persons, who appear so lovely in this world, will be inexpressibly more lovely, and full of love to us. How sweetly will those, who thus mutually love, join together in singing the praises of God and the Lamb. How full will it fill us with joy, to think that this enjoyment, these sweet exercises, will never cease or come to an end, but will last to all eternity.

1. Do you place a higher value on church customs than on biblical principles?
2. Do you elevate to the status of moral law something the Bible does not require?
3. Do you tend to look down your spiritual nose at those who don’t follow God’s will for YOUR life?
4. Are you uncomfortable with the fact that the Bible does not explicitly address every ethical decision or answer every theological question?
5. Are you more comfortable with rules than with relationships?
