We Love God!

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

The message for children is short and simple: obedience – in both attitude and action – is “right” (Eph. 6:1). It is “well pleasing to the Lord” (Col. 3:20). It is honoring to the parents. And it is good for the children – protecting them from a world of evil, prolonging their lives, and bringing them an abundance of blessing (see Eph. 6:1-3).
John MacArthur

In every Christian's heart there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of Mansoul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a Caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.

Bible – chinese – 新标点和合本 以西结书 9

9
耶路撒冷受惩罚
他向我耳中大声喊叫说:「要使那监管这城的人手中各拿灭命的兵器前来。」
忽然有六个人从朝北的上门而来,各人手拿杀人的兵器;内中有一人身穿细麻衣,腰间带着墨盒子。他们进来,站在铜祭坛旁。
以色列 神的荣耀本在基路伯上,现今从那里升到殿的门槛。 神将那身穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人召来。
耶和华对他说:「你去走遍耶路撒冷全城,那些因城中所行可憎之事叹息哀哭的人,画记号在额上。」
我耳中听见他对其余的人说:「要跟随他走遍全城,以行击杀。你们的眼不要顾惜,也不要可怜他们。
要将年老的、年少的,并处女、婴孩,和妇女,从圣所起全都杀尽,只是凡有记号的人不要挨近他。」于是他们从殿前的长老杀起。
他对他们说:「要污秽这殿,使院中充满被杀的人。你们出去吧!」他们就出去,在城中击杀。
他们击杀的时候,我被留下,我就俯伏在地,说:「哎!主耶和华啊,你将忿怒倾在耶路撒冷,岂要将以色列所剩下的人都灭绝吗?」
他对我说:「以色列家和犹大家的罪孽极其重大。遍地有流血的事,满城有冤屈,因为他们说:『耶和华已经离弃这地,他看不见我们。』
10 故此,我眼必不顾惜,也不可怜他们,要照他们所行的报应在他们头上。」
11 那穿细麻衣、腰间带着墨盒子的人将这事回复说:「我已经照你所吩咐的行了。」
