We Love God!

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

When in his God-ordained role of civil magistrate (Rom. 13:1-6) man is called upon to make positive law for the governance of the body politic, the laws he enacts ought to be based on the commands and principles of God’s law. If the law is not based on the righteousness revealed in biblical law, then the law is not only unjust, it is also a usurpation of God’s sovereignty by man. No man or institution has authority to legislate anything that is contrary to God’s law. The state is not the creator of law, but the custodian of God’s law for the civil sphere. As God’s servant, the duty of the state is to interpret and apply biblical law to the circumstances of its own day within the sphere of its own jurisdiction (Deut. 1:16-17; 16:18-20; 2 Chron. 19:6-7).
William Einwechter

Love is the overflow of joy in God! It is not duty for duty's sake, or right for right's sake. It is not a resolute abandoning of one's own good with a view solely to the good of the other person. It is first a deeply satisfying experience of the fullness of God's grace, and then a doubly satisfying experience of sharing that grace with another person. Buy Now

28:1 ‘n Psalm van Dawid. Ek roep U aan, o HERE! My rots, draai nie stilswygend van my af weg nie, sodat ek nie, as U teenoor my bly swyg, word soos die wat in die kuil neerdaal nie.

28:2 Hoor die stem van my smekinge as ek U aanroep om hulp, as ek my hande ophef na die binneste van u heiligdom.

28:3 Ruk my nie weg saam met die goddelose en saam met die werkers van ongeregtigheid nie; wat van vrede spreek met hulle naaste, maar daar is kwaad in hulle hart.

28:4 Gee hulle na hul dade en na die boosheid van hul handelinge; gee hulle na die werk van hul hande; vergeld hulle na hulle dade.

28:5 Omdat hulle nie let op die dade van die HERE of op die werk van sy hande nie, sal Hy hulle afbreek en hulle nie bou nie.

28:6 Geloofd sy die HERE, want Hy het die stem van my smekinge gehoor.

28:7 Die HERE is my sterkte en my skild; op Hom het my hart vertrou, en ek is gehelp; daarom jubel my hart en sal ek Hom loof met my gesang.

28:8 Die HERE is ‘n sterkte vir hulle, en Hy is ‘n vesting van verlossing vir sy gesalfde.

28:9 Verlos u volk en seën u erfdeel, en wees vir hulle ‘n herder en dra hulle tot in ewigheid.
