We Love God!

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

Will it cause distress in heaven, to know that our unsaved beloved friends and relatives are forever lost? The only way of solving this difficulty is to realize that a perfect knowledge of God and of the wisdom and justice of all His designs and operations will constitute a chief part of the happiness of heaven. We shall be so convinced of the equity of His dealings towards the wicked, so divested of all the weakness of “human sentimentalism,” so absorbed in the love of what is right and just, that the absence of our loved ones from the world of glory, will cause no interruption of our heavenly bliss!
John Angell James

Quit being satisfied with little five percent yields of pleasure that get eaten up by the moths of inflation and the rust of death. Invest in the blue-chip, high-yield, divinely insured securities of heaven. A life devoted to material comforts and thrills is like throwing money down a rathole. But a life invested in the labor of love yields dividends of joy unsurpassed and unending.
John Piper

    BASIC R.C. BELIEF “The teaching authority of the Church in the pope and the bishops united with the pope. It is designed to take things from scripture and tradition (remote rules of faith) and apply them in a living way, hence it’s being called the proximate rule of faith” (Dr. Ludwig Ott, FUNDAMENTALS OF CATHOLIC DOGMA).

    In spite of this definition by a Roman Catholic theologian, any matter that has not been made an article of faith is open to theological debate.

    POST VATICAN II This theological debate has especially been active since Vatican II, but the recent papal censure of Hans Kung by Pope John Paul II indicates that the Pope is re-asserting the traditional teaching of the Church.

    CHRISTIAN COMMENT By having this proximate rule of faith the ultimate authority, it becomes unimportant what the Bible says. What the pope says the Bible says is important.
