We Love God!

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

God wants us to remember to see Him in the most mundane parts of our lives (Dt. 11:19). And what we see, He wants us to talk about with our children. When that level of significance is added to the ordinary repetitions of life, a tradition is created.
Noel Piper

16 July 1842: I feel that, unless the soul be saturated with prayer and faith, little good may be expected from preaching. 4 September 1842: Prayer should be the main business of every day. 22 February 1846: God will not let me preach with power when I am not much in Him. More than ever do I feel that I should be as much an intercessor as a preacher of the Word. 4 June 1848: It is praying much that makes preaching felt. 29 December 1849: My chief desire should be . . . to be a man of prayer, for there is no want of speaking and writing and preaching and teaching and warning, but there is need of the Holy Spirit to make all this effectual. 21 February 1862: I am convinced that living in the spirit of prayer from hour to hour is what brings down the blessing. 9 September 1876: A time of impotence rising from want of much prayer. Nothing but constant intercourse with the Lord will carry on the soul. I got last Saturday set apart as a day of prayer; and I trace much of my help to that day. 22 June 1878: Ask much, for this is the way to grow rich. 12 May 1888: Found time to give the whole of this day entirely to prayer and meditation. There will be fruit of it to me and my people.

3:1 hoc autem scito quod in novissimis diebus instabunt tempora periculosa

3:2 et erunt homines se ipsos amantes cupidi elati superbi blasphemi parentibus inoboedientes ingrati scelesti

3:3 sine affectione sine pace criminatores incontinentes inmites sine benignitate

3:4 proditores protervi tumidi voluptatium amatores magis quam Dei

3:5 habentes speciem quidem pietatis virtutem autem eius abnegantes et hos devita

3:6 ex his enim sunt qui penetrant domos et captivas ducunt mulierculas oneratas peccatis quae ducuntur variis desideriis

3:7 semper discentes et numquam ad scientiam veritatis pervenientes

3:8 quemadmodum autem Iannes et Mambres restiterunt Mosi ita et hii resistunt veritati homines corrupti mente reprobi circa fidem

3:9 sed ultra non proficient insipientia enim eorum manifesta erit omnibus sicut et illorum fuit

3:10 tu autem adsecutus es meam doctrinam institutionem propositum fidem longanimitatem dilectionem patientiam

3:11 persecutiones passiones qualia mihi facta sunt Antiochiae Iconii Lystris quales persecutiones sustinui et ex omnibus me eripuit Dominus

3:12 et omnes qui volunt pie vivere in Christo Iesu persecutionem patientur

3:13 mali autem homines et seductores proficient in peius errantes et in errorem mittentes

3:14 tu vero permane in his quae didicisti et credita sunt tibi sciens a quo didiceris

3:15 et quia ab infantia sacras litteras nosti quae te possint instruere ad salutem per fidem quae est in Christo Iesu

3:16 omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et utilis ad docendum ad arguendum ad corrigendum ad erudiendum in iustitia

3:17 ut perfectus sit homo Dei ad omne opus bonum instructus
