We Love God!

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

Let no man think himself to be holy because he is not tempted, for the holiest and highest in life have the most temptations. How much higher the hill is, so much is the wind there greater; so, how much higher the life is, so much the stronger is the temptation of the enemy.
John Wycliffe

Men are afraid to have good thoughts of God. They think it is a boldness to eye God as good, gracious, tender, kind, loving. I speak of saints. They can judge Him hard, austere, severe, almost implacable, and fierce (the very worst affections of the very worst of men, and most hated by God). Is not this soul-deceit from Satan? Was it not his design from the beginning to inject such thoughts of God? Assure yourself, then, there is nothing more acceptable to the Father than for us to keep up our hearts unto Him as the eternal fountain of all that rich grace which flows out to sinners in the blood of Jesus.
John Owen

    Page 47 CHAPTER 3 CHOOSING BETWEEN PARKING SPACES I will begin this chapter by reiterating that if you are in the parking lot, you are in the moral will of God. However, within that parking lot, there are many legitimate and acceptable spaces in which to park. The choice of the parking space is yours. I have compiled a list of decisions that Christians agonize over in trying to discover ,God’s perfect will for their lives. In and of themselves, every decision on this list is a non-moral issue. So long as we are in the parking lot, the choice of where to park is left to you and me. They are: Should I go to college? If so, which college should I attend? What courses should I take, and what will be my major?
