Acts 20:17
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church.
Acts 20:36
And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
Philippians 3:17
Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.
Philippians 4:9
The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
Ezekiel 7:8
"I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you; I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices."
Because God's people had repeatedly rebelled and chosen to turn an unhearing ear toward his will, God is about to let them face the consequences of their own sinfulness. He is ready to judge them using the harshest of standards because of their entrenched rebellion. We must remember that he wants us to be a holy people just as much as he did his Old Testament people. Let's be faithful to him, no matter the values of our culture.
Quotes
. If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give. - George Macdonald
. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations–these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit–immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. - C. S. Lewis
. Next to faith this is the highest art–to be content with the calling in which God has placed you. I have not learned it yet. - Martin Luther
. Friendships are fragile things, and require as much care in handling as any other fragile and precious thing. - Randolph S. Bourne
