“The LORD through His prophet, Jeremiah, said, “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’ in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.” (Jeremiah 4: 22). Will this rebuke hold true for you? Sad to note that our knowledge of the LORD is at a play school level. In contrast to our knowledge on the heads of the government, politics, politicians, sports, celebrities, elders, believers, neighbours, friends, relatives, wife, husband, children, our own subjects of expertise etc., which can fetch us a doctoral degree! Shameful, isn’t it? Time to get back on course to pursue after the knowledge of the LORD.”

“God, in that which is done, respecteth specially the mind and intention of the doer. Cut off then all those things wherein we have regarded our own glory, those things which we do to please men or to satisfy our own liking, those things which we do with any by-respect [that is, with any secondary or ulterior motive], not sincerely and purely for the love of God, and a small score will serve for the number of our righteous deeds. Let the holiest and best thing that we do be considered: we are never better affected unto God than when we pray; yet when we pray how are our affections many times distracted! How little reverence do we show to the grand majesty of that God unto whom we speak! How little remorse of our own miseries! How little taste of the sweet influence of his tender mercy do we feel! Are we not as unwilling many times to begin, and as glad to make an end, as if God in saying "Call upon me" had set us a very burdensome task? (A Learned Discourse on Justification, p. 8)”
― Richard Hooker

― Daniel Taotua

“Do not resent a rebuke from the righteous God.”

“The Heathen

What shall I do when the heathens stand
And accuse that I seldom lent a hand
To save them from pain and eternal woe
And stayed in my ease, but made others go

When the Message I knew, I knew full well
Could save them from sin and fear and Hell

Oh God, My God, on that dreadful day
When all excuses are tossed away
And there's no time left to repent and pray
As earthly treasures in ashes lay

Then Lord, oh Lord, what shall I say
For the money and time I have frittered away?”
― Leonard Ravenhill, Revival God's Way
