We Love God!

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

Now I should like to know whether your soul, tired of its own righteousness, is learning to be revived by and to trust in the righteousness of Christ... My dear brother, learn Christ and Him crucified. Learn to pray to Him and, despairing of yourself, say, 'You, Lord Jesus, are my righteousness, but I am your sin. You have taken upon Yourself what is mine and have given to me what is Yours. You have taken upon Yourself what you were not and have given to me what I was not.' Beware of aspiring to such purity that you will not wish to be looked upon as a sinner, or to be one. For Christ dwells only in sinners. On this account He descended from heaven, where He dwelt among the righteous, to dwell among sinners. Meditate on this love of His and you will see His sweet consolation.
Martin Luther

Nonattendance, in the early years of our church, was considered one of the most sinister of sins, because it usually veiled all the other sins. When someone began to be in sin, you would expect them to stop attending.
Mark Dever

    1 מזמור לדוד בברחו מפני אבשלום בנו יהוה מה רבו צרי רבים קמים עלי׃
    2 רבים אמרים לנפשי אין ישועתה לו באלהים סלה׃
    3 ואתה יהוה מגן בעדי כבודי ומרים ראשי׃
    4 קולי אל יהוה אקרא ויענני מהר קדשו סלה׃
    5 אני שכבתי ואישנה הקיצותי כי יהוה יסמכני׃
    6 לא אירא מרבבות עם אשר סביב שתו עלי׃
    7 קומה יהוה הושיעני אלהי כי הכית את כל איבי לחי שני רשעים שברת׃
    8 ליהוה הישועה על עמך ברכתך סלה׃
