Those that do indeed make conscience of the law of God themselves will, in their places, vigorously oppose sin, and bear their testimony against it, and do what they can to shame and suppress it. They will reprove the works of darkness, and silence the excuses which are made for those works, and do what they can to bring gross offenders to punishment, that others may hear and fear.
Matthew Henry
This means if we are lax in calling sin sin, we are not presenting the whole gospel.

Do you love the gift or the Giver?

"Would you be satisfied to go to heaven, have everybody there in your family that you want there, have all the health and restoration of your prime and everything you dislike about yourself fixed, have every recreation you have ever dreamed available to you and have infinite recourses of money to spend?... Would you be satified, if God weren't there?"
- John Piper -

"Heaven will be inhabited by poeple you LOVE GOD! God is our treasure! Whom have I in heaven but thee, nothing! And on earth there is nothing I desire besides thee! My whole life is devoted to helping people fall OUT of love with the world and fall IN love with God."... "Behold the beauty, the glory, the justice, the goodness, the wisdom, the truth, the grace, the mercy, the patience, the whole panorama of the perfections of Almighty God, and let yourself fall in love with HIM, as the satisfaction of your soul. And that will be the pathway that leads to glory!"
- John Piper -

Psalm 73:25 -26

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Even in heaven there is NOTHING that will ever satisfy our souls besides GOD HIMSELF!


In love with Him,
