We Love God!

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

For an act to be good, it must arise from good motives. And one of those motives must be the glory of God. Where that motive is missing, every act has a fatal flaw. An unsaved man may have some good motives in what he does. That is, he may do something for the sake of others. That is fine, as far as it goes. We do not want to deny that. But it does not go far enough. God commands, “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). But each thing the unbeliever does breaks this command. For that reason, he never once pleases God.

Questions to ask a pro-choice legislator: 1. Are you willing to explain why a baby's right not to be killed is less important than a woman's right not to be pregnant? 2. Are you willing to explain why most cities have laws forbidding cruelty to animals, but you oppose laws forbidding cruelty to human fetuses? Are they not at least living animals? 3. Are you willing to explain why government is unwilling to take away the so-called right to abortion on demand even though it harms the unborn child; yet government is increasingly willing to take away the right to smoke, precisely because it harms innocent non-smokers, killing 3,000 non-smokers a year from cancer and as many as 40,000 non-smokers a year from other diseases? 4. And if you say that everything hangs on whether the fetus is a human child, are you willing to go before national television in the oval office and defend your support for the 'Freedom of Choice Act' by holding in your hand a 21 week old fetus and explaining why this little one does not have the fundamental, moral, and constitutional right to life? Are you willing to say to parents in this church who lost a child at that age and held him in their hands, this being in your hands is not and was not a child with any rights of its own under God or under law?

19:1 ¶ Na, I te rongonga o Kingi Hetekia, ka haea e ia ona kakahu, ka hipoki i a ia ki te kakahu taratara, haere ana ki te whare o Ihowa.

19:2 I unga hoki e ia a Eriakimi, te rangatira o te whare, ratou ko Hepena kaituhituhi, ko nga kaumatua o nga tohunga, he mea hipoki ki te kakahu taratara, ki a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho.

19:3 A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Hetekia, Ko tenei ra, he ra no te raruraru, no te whakatuma, no te kohukohu: kua tae hoki nga tamariki ki te whanautanga, heoi kahore he kaha e whanau ai.

19:4 Tera pea ka rongo a Ihowa, tou Atua ki nga kupu katoa a Rapahake i unga mai nei e tona ariki, e te kingi o Ahiria, hei whakorekore ki te Atua ora; a ka riri ki nga kupu i rongo ai a Ihowa, tou Atua. Na kia ara tau inoi mo nga toenga e noho nei.

19:5 Heoi kua tae nga tangata a Kingi Hetekia ki a Ihaia.

19:6 A ka mea a Ihaia ki a ratou, Kia penei ta koutou korero ki to koutou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e wehi i nga kupu i rongo na koe, ki ena i kohukohu mai na nga tangata a te kingi o Ahiria ki ahau.

19:7 Nana, ka hoatu e ahau he wairua ki roto ki a ia, a tera ia e rongo i tetahi rongo, ka hoki ki tona whenua, a ka meinga ia e ahau kia hinga i te hoari i tona ake whenua.

19:8 ¶ Na ka hoki a Rapahake, a rokohanga atu e whawhai ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ripina: i rongo hoki ia kua maunu mai ia i Rakihi.

19:9 A, no tona rongonga ki a Tirihaka kingi o Etiopia, ki te korero, Nana, kei te haere mai ia ki te whawhai ki a koe: ka unga tangata ano ia ki a Hetekia, hei mea atu,

19:10 Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mea atu, Kei tinihangatia koe e tou Atua, e okioki atu na koe, i a ia e ki na, E kore a Hiruharama e hoatu ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.

19:11 Nana, tena koe kua rongo ki ta nga kingi o Ahiria i mea ai ki nga whenua katoa, ki ta ratou hunanga i a ratou: a e ora ranei koe?

19:12 I ora ranei i o ratou atua nga tauiwi i huna ra e oku matua, a Kotana, a Harana, a Retepe, me nga tama a Erene, i Terahara ra?

19:13 Kei hea te kingi o Hamata, te kingi o Arapara, te kingi o te pa o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa?

19:14 Na ka riro mai i a Hetekia te pukapuka i te ringa o nga karere, a ka korerotia e ia: na haere ana a Hetekia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, wherahia ana e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

19:15 Na ka inoi a Hetekia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, e noho mai na i runga o nga kerupima, ko koe te Atua, ko koe anake, o nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua; nau i hanga te rangi me te whenua.

19:16 Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, whakarongo mai; titiro mai ou kanohi, e Ihowa, kia kite koe; whakarongo ki nga kupu a Henakeripi, i unga mai nei i tenei hei whakorekore mo te Atua ora.

19:17 He tika ano e Ihowa, kua kore i nga kingi o Ahiria nga iwi me o ratou whenua,

19:18 Kua makaia atu hoki o ratou atua ki roto ki te ahi: ehara hoki era i te atua, engari he mahi na te ringa tangata, he rakau, he kohatu; koia i huna ai e ratou.

19:19 Tena ra, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, whakaorangia matou i tona ringa, kia mohio ai nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua ko Ihowa koe, ko te Atua, ko koe anake.

19:20 ¶ Katahi a Ihaia tama a Amoho ka unga tangata ki a Hetekia, hei mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I inoi mai na koe ki ahau mo Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, na kua rongo ahau ki a koe.

19:21 Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei i korero ai mona, Kua whakahawea te tamahine wahine a Hiona ki a koe, kua kataina koe e ia; kua ruru te matenga o te tamahine a Hiruharama ki a koe.

19:22 Ko wai tau i whakorekore na, i kohukohu na? ki a wai tou reo i whakarahia na, tou mata i kake na ki runga? ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

19:23 Na au karere i whakorekore ai koe i te Ariki, kua mea na koe, Kake ana ahau, me aku tini hariata, ki nga wahi tiketike o nga maunga, ki nga taha rawa o Repanona; a ka tuaina e ahau nga hita raroa o reira me o reira kauri papai; a ka tomo ahau ki te whare tira haere o tona wahi whakamutunga mai, ki te ngahere o tona mara hua.

19:24 Kua keria e ahau, kua inumia ano nga wai ke, a ka maroke i te kapu o toku waewae nga awa katoa o Ihipa.

19:25 Kahore ranei koe i rongo naku tena i mea i mua noa atu, a naku tena i hanga o nga ra onamata? no naianei kua meinga e ahau, ko koe hei mea i nga pa taiepa hei puranga rukerukenga.

19:26 Koia i iti ai te kaha o o reira tangata; wehi ana ratou, pororaru ana; rite tonu ratou ki te tarutaru o te parae, ki te otaota matomato, ki te taru i runga i nga tuanui, ki te witi i ngingio i te mea kiano i ata tupu noa.

19:27 Otiia e matau ana ahau ki tou nohoanga iho, ki tou haerenga atu, ki tou haerenga mai, me tau nananga ki ahau.

19:28 Mo tau nananga ki ahau, a mo tau whakakake kua tae mai nei ki oku taringa, mo reira ka kuhua e ahau taku matau ki tou ihu, taku paraire ki ou ngutu, a ka whakahokia koe na te ara i haere mai na koe.

19:29 A ko te tohu tenei ki a koe: ka kai koutou i tenei tau i nga mea tupu noa ake, a i te rua o nga tau ko nga tupu noa ake o te tau: na hei te toru o nga tau koutou whakato ai, kokoti ai, whakato ai i nga mara waina, kai iho ai i nga hua.

19:30 Na, tera e hou ano whakararo nga pakiaka o nga morehu i mawhiti o te whare o Hura, a ka hua nga hua whakarunga.

19:31 No te mea tera e puta ake he toenga i Hiruharama, he oranga i maunga Hiona: e taea hoki tenei e te ngakau nui o Ihowa.

19:32 Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei mo te kingi o Ahiria, E kore ia e haere mai ki tenei pa, e kore ano e perea mai he pere e ia ki konei, e kore ano e maua mai e ia he whakangungu rakau ki mua i tenei pa, e haupuria ranei he puke hei whawhaitanga ki kone i.

19:33 Ko te ara i haere mai ai ia, ka hoki ano ia ma reira: e kore hoki ia e tae mai ki tenei pa, e ai ta Ihowa.

19:34 Ka tiakina hoki e ahau tenei pa, kia ora ai; he whakaaro ki ahau, ki taku pononga ano ki a Rawiri.

19:35 ¶ Na i taua po ka puta te anahera a Ihowa, a patua iho e ia i te puni o nga Ahiriana kotahi rau e waru tekau ma rima mano: a, i te marangatanga ake i te ata, nana, o ratou tinana! he tupapaku katoa ratou.

19:36 Heoi turia atu ana e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, haere ana, hoki ana, noho rawa atu kei Ninewe.

19:37 A, i a ia e koropiko ana i roto i te whare o tona atua, o Nitiroko, ka patua e ana tama, e Ataramereke raua ko Haretere ki te hoari: a mawhiti atu ana raua ki te whenua o Ararata. A ko Etara Harono, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
