Devotion: Morning and Evening Morning Title: Hatred of Sin Evening Title: Be On Guard Do you enjoy this devotional? Send it on to a friend! ____________________________________________________________ Morning: Hatred of Sin "Thou hatest wickedness." --Psalm 45:7 "Be ye angry, and sin not." There can hardly be goodness in a man if he be not angry at sin; he who loves truth must hate every false way. How our Lord Jesus hated it when the temptation came!
Thrice it assailed Him in different forms, but
ever He met
it with, "Get thee behind me,
Satan."
He hated it in others; none the less fervently because He showed His hate oftener in tears of pity than in words of rebuke; yet what language could be more stern, more Elijah-like, than the words, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer." He hated wickedness, so much that He bled to wound it to the heart; He died that it might die; He was buried that He might bury it in His tomb; and He rose that He might f or ever trample it beneath His feet. Christ is in the Gospel, and that Gospel is opposed to wickedness in every shape. Wickedness arrays itself in fair garments, and imitates the language of holiness; but the precepts of Jesus, like His famous scourge of small cords, chase it out of the temple, and will not tolerate it in the Church. So, too, in the heart where Jesus reigns, what war there is between Christ and Belial! And when our Redeemer shall come to be our Judge, those thundering words, "Depart, ye cursed" which are, indeed, buta prolongation of His life-teaching concerning sin, shall manifest His abhorrence of iniquity. As warm as is His love to sinners, so hot is His hatred of sin; as perfect as is His righteousness, so complete shall be the destruction of every form of wickedness. O thou glorious champion of right, and destroyer of wrong, for this cause hath God, even Thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. Evening: Be On Guard "Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho." --Joshua 6:26 Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jericho, I much more the man who labours to restore Popery among
us. In our fathers' days the gigantic walls of
Popery fell by the power of their faith, the
perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets; and now there are some who would rebuild that accursed system upon its old foundation. O Lord, be pleased to thwart their unrighteous endeavours, and pull down every stone which they build. It should be a serious business with us to be thoroughly purged of every error
which may have a tendency to foster
the spirit of
Popery, and when we have made a clean sweep at
home we should seek in every
way to oppose its
all too rapid spread abroad in the church and in
the world. This last can be
done in secret by
fervent prayer, and in public by decided
testimony. We must warn with
judicious boldness
those who are inclined towards the errors of
Rome; we must instruct the
young in gospel truth,
and tell them of the black doings of Popery in
the olden times.
We must aid in spreading the light morethoroughly through the land, for priests, like owls, hate daylight. Are we doing all we can for
Jesus and the gospel? If not, our negligence
plays into the hands of the priestcraft. What are
we doing to spread the Bible, which is the Pope's
bane and poison? Are we casting abroad good,
sound gospel writings? Luther once said, "The
devil hates goose quills" and, doubtless, he has
good reason, for ready writers, by the Holy
Spirit's blessing, have done his kingdom much
damage. If the thousands who will read this short
word this night will d o all they can to hinder the rebuilding of this accursed Jericho, the Lord's glory shall speed among the sons of men. Reader, what can you do? What will you do? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mailing List Jesus-Net Ministry Indonesia - JNM - Daftar : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Keluar : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Posting: jesus-net@yahoogroups.com JNM Mailing list are managed by : Indonesian Pentecostal Revival Fellowship (IPRF) Denver, USA (or GPdI Denver) If you have any comment or suggestion about this mailing list, to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] or If you want to contact IPRF Denver USA, to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site : http://www.iprf.us -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
