We Love God!

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

The knowledge of God [must become] our most important goal. After all, if the root of our problem with addiction is a problem of worship, then we need to learn who should be the true object of that worship. As this idea takes hold of your heart, you will find that you feel more at home in a good church than in an AA fellowship. You will draw strength and wisdom from sermons, find encouragement in corporate singing, be spiritually fed in communion, and search the Bible for the living God. You will come to know more about the God who is bigger than you ever thought: bigger in justice, in power, and in love. You will see how His greatness works in your behalf. One problem with AA is that the “God as you understand Him to be” is never large enough.
Edward Welch

Many appear to think that, once converted, they have little more to attend to, and that a state of salvation is a kind of easy chair, in which they may just sit still, lie back and be happy… Such persons lose sight of the many direct injunctions to increase, to grow, to abound more and more, to add to our faith, and the like; and in this little-doing condition, this sitting-still state of mind, I never marvel that they miss assurance.
J.C. Ryle

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 以赛亚书 4

4
在那日,七个女人必拉住一个男人,说:「我们吃自己的食物,穿自己的衣服,但求你许我们归你名下;求你除掉我们的羞耻。」
耶路撒冷的重建
到那日,耶和华发生的苗必华美尊荣,地的出产必为以色列逃脱的人显为荣华茂盛。
3-4 主以公义的灵和焚烧的灵,将锡安女子的污秽洗去,又将耶路撒冷杀人的血除净。那时,剩在锡安、留在耶路撒冷的,就是一切住耶路撒冷、在生命册上记名的,必称为圣。
耶和华也必在锡安全山,并各会众以上,使白日有烟云,黑夜有火焰的光。因为在全荣耀之上必有遮蔽。
必有亭子,白日可以得荫避暑,也可以作为藏身之处,躲避狂风暴雨。
