We Love God!

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

Multitudes who come to church for comfort need to be severely discomfited and awakened out of their lethal slumbering.
Richard Owen Roberts

The altar call is 'old fashioned' in only a very relative sense. It is old fashioned to us at this end of the twentieth century, but it first arose more than eighteen centuries after Christ. Now this may not prove that the altar call is wrong, but it surely demonstrates that the non-practice of the altar call is not wrong. If neither Jesus nor His apostles employed the method, and if they never commanded such to be done by the church, then it obviously cannot be wrong to decide against the more modern method. It is not a question of Biblical necessity but of modern custom and convenience. A church which refuses the practice can never be criticized for that refusal; indeed, such a church is at that point more in line with the apostolic church than are those churches which have adopted it.

12:1 ¶ Tika tonu koe, e Ihowa, ina totohe ahau ki a koe; otiia kia korerotia e ahau ki a koe nga whakaritenga: He aha i whai pai ai te ara o te hunga kino? he aha i noho humarie ai te hunga katoa he nui rawa nei to ratou tinihanga?

12:2 Whakatokia ana ratou e koe, ae ra kua whai pakiaka ratou; kei te tupu ake, ae ra kua whai hua; i o ratou manga i e tata ana koe; i o ratou whatumanawa ia kei tawhiti koe.

12:3 Otiia e mohio ana koe ki ahau, e Ihowa, kua kite koe i ahau, e whakamatautau ana hoki koe i toku ngakau ki a koe: toia mai ratou ano he hipi e patua ana, motuhia atu ratou mo te ra o te parekura.

12:4 Kia pehea te roa o te whenua ka tangi nei, o te otaota o nga mara katoa ka maroke nei? hei mea mo te kino o ona tangata, kua pau ona kararehe me nga manu; no te mea i ki ratou, E kore ia e kite i to tatou mutunga iho.

12:5 Na, mehemea i rere koe i roto i te hunga haere i raro, a ka ngenge i a ratou, ka pehea ra tau whakataetae ki nga hoiho? na ahakoa u tou noho i te whenua rangatira, ka pehea ra koe i te whakapehapeha o Horona?

12:6 Ko ou tuakana nei hoki, ko ou teina, me te whare o tou papa, kei te tinihanga ki a koe, ko ratou ano kei te karanga nui i muri i a koe: kaua e whakapono ki ta ratou, ina korero pai ki a koe.

12:7 ¶ Kua mahue i ahau toku whare, whakarerea ake toku kainga pumau; tukua ana e ahau te wahine i arohaina e toku wairua ki te ringa o ona hoariri.

12:8 Ko toku kainga tupu, tona rite ki ahau kei te raiona i roto i te ngahere: hamama ana ia ki ahau, na reira kino iho ahau ki a ia.

12:9 Ko toku kainga tupu, ki ahau he rite ki te manu kotingotingo; hei hoariri mona nga manu i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha. Haere mai koutou, huihuia mai nga kirehe katoa o te parae, mauria mai ki te horo kai.

12:10 Moti ake taku mara waina i nga hepara tokomaha, kua takatakahia e ratou toku wahi, kua meinga hoki e ratou taku wahi i matenui ai hei koraha, ururua rawa.

12:11 Kua meinga e ratou hei ururua, a i a ia e ururua nei, tangi ana ia ki ahau; kua ururua katoa te whenua, no te mea kahore he tangata e mahara ake ana tona ngakau.

12:12 Kua tae nga kaipahua ki nga wahi tiketike katoa o te koraha; ka kai hoki te hoari a Ihowa i tetahi pito o te whenua a tae noa ki tetahi pito o te whenua: ki nga kikokiko katoa kahore he maunga rongo.

12:13 He witi ta ratou i rui ai, he tataramoa ta ratou i kokoti ai; kua whakamamae ratou i a ratou, a kahore he pai ki a ratou: ka whakama ano koutou ki a koutou hua i te riri o Ihowa ka mura nei.

12:14 ¶ Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa mo oku hoa tata katoa e kino nei, kua pa nei ki te wahi tupu i hoatu e ahau mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, Tenei ahau te huhuti atu nei i a ratou i runga i to ratou whenua, ka hutia atu ano e ahau te whare o Hura i waenganui i a ratou.

12:15 A tenei ake, kua mutu taku huhuti atu i a ratou, ka hoki ahau, ka aroha ki a ratou, ka whakahoki ano i a ratou ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi, ki tona whenua, ki tona whenua.

12:16 A tenei ake, ki te ako marie ratou ki nga ara o taku iwi, a ka oatitia toku ingoa, ara, E ora ana a Ihowa; ki te pera ratou me ratou i whakaako ra i taku iwi kia oatitia a Paara; katahi ka hanga ratou ki waenganui i taku iwi.

12:17 Tena ko tenei e kore ratou e rongo, katahi taua iwi ka hutia rawatia atu e ahau, ka whakangaromia, e ai ta Ihowa.
