We Love God!

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

We must remember that our suffering is not in the way of God’s plan, but part of it. In our suffering, God is not only with us but also is employing it to change us and those to whom we minister.
Paul David Tripp

Jesus did not speak against homosexuality specifically, but neither did He specifically address many other sexual behaviors, such as incest, bestiality, and rape. That doesn’t mean that they were permissible. Jesus consistently upheld the Old Testament law. He stood against all legalistic attempts to narrow its intent, and He maintained that the law addressed both behavior and attitude. He consistently spoke for marriage, and He indicated that the only alternative to heterosexual marriage was celibacy (Matt. 19:12).

圣殿的设备
(王上7·23—51)
他又制造一座铜坛,长二十肘,宽二十肘,高十肘;
又铸一个海,样式是圆的,高五肘,径十肘,围三十肘;
海周围有野瓜+的样式,每肘十瓜,共有两行,是铸海的时候铸上的;
有十二只牛驮海:三只向北,三只向西,三只向南,三只向东;海在牛上,牛尾向内;
海厚一掌,边如杯边,又如百合花,可容三千罢特;
又制造十个盆:五个放在右边,五个放在左边,献燔祭所用之物都洗在其内;但海是为祭司沐浴的。
他又照所定的样式造十个金灯台放在殿里:五个在右边,五个在左边;
又造十张桌子放在殿里:五张在右边,五张在左边;又造一百个金碗;
又建立祭司院和大院,并院门,用铜包裹门扇;
10 将海安在殿门的右边,就是南边。
11  户兰又造了盆、铲、碗。这样,他为所罗门王做完了 神殿的工。
12  所造的就是:两根柱子和柱上两个如球的顶,并两个盖柱顶的网子
13 和四百石榴,安在两个网子上(每网两行盖着两个柱上如球的顶)。
14 盆座和其上的盆,
15 海和海下的十二只牛,
16 盆、铲子、肉锸子,与耶和华殿里的一切器皿,都是巧匠户兰用光亮的铜为所罗门王造成的,
17 是在约旦平原疏割撒利但中间借胶泥铸成的。
18  所罗门制造的这一切甚多,铜的轻重无法可查。
19  所罗门又造 神殿里的金坛和陈设饼的桌子,
20 并精金的灯台和灯盏,可以照例点在内殿前。
21 灯台上的花和灯盏,并蜡剪都是金的,且是纯金的;
22 又用精金制造镊子、盘子、调羹、火鼎。至于殿门和至圣所的门扇,并殿的门扇,都是金子妆饰的。
