We Love God!

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

Bitterness (or resentment) is the result of an unwillingness to properly forgive those who have sinned against you.
Lou Priolo

If you want to raise a Pharisee, just follow these simple steps (sarcasm!). 1. Make the Christian home all about rule-keeping (do’s and don’t’s), but never explain to them why we should follow God’s Word. 2. Add your own rules to God’s Word and make them more important than God’s Word. 3. Strictly enforce the rules on your children, but give yourself a pass. 4. Show your children nothing about grace, forgiveness, mercy and love. 5. Preach at them until they are blue in the face (bore them with the Bible) and never listen to what they have to say about God’s Word. 6. Make Jesus a burden rather than a blessing – make God’s Word a bondage rather than a liberation. 7. Give them no opportunity to think spiritually for themselves. 8. Fail to guide them in a spiritual worldview – teaching them how to process life with the Bible. 9. Praise their externals regardless of their motives. 10. Teach them to obey only because they have to and not because they should also want to as God’s commands come from a loving and trustworthy Father. 11. Make your disciple punishment rather than correction. 12. Demand self-reformation, rather than pointing them to Christ-transformation by grace. 13. Teach them to obey you as God rather than to obey God by obeying you. 14. Use Scripture and church as punishment. 15. Never pray for them. 16. Correct them more than you encourage them. 17. Beat your kids into external conformity, often to simply make yourself look good and do nothing to shepherd their hearts.

57:1 in finem ne disperdas David in tituli inscriptione

57:2 si vere utique iustitiam loquimini recta iudicate filii hominum

57:3 etenim in corde iniquitates operamini in terra iniustitiam manus vestrae concinnant

57:4 alienati sunt peccatores a vulva erraverunt ab utero locuti sunt falsa

57:5 furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis sicut aspidis surdae et obturantis aures suas

57:6 quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium et venefici incantantis sapienter

57:7 Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum molas leonum confringet Dominus

57:8 ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur

57:9 sicut cera quae fluit auferentur supercecidit ignis et non viderunt solem

57:10 priusquam intellegerent spinae vestrae ramnum sicut viventes sicut in ira absorbet vos

57:11 laetabitur iustus cum viderit vindictam manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris

57:12 et dicet homo si utique est fructus iusto utique est Deus iudicans eos in terra
