“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people.” – Isaiah 10:1-2
Complete power corrupts completely... by allowing us to have what we shouldn't; ...by allowing us to forget where we came from; ...by allowing us to ignore the cries of the oppressed. Complete power corrupts, because only God can handle complete power! Our desire to have it is like the sin of Adam and Eve - it is the lust to be God. But true power, power acceptable to The Complete Power, is used to bless the broken, lift the unfortunate, forgive the guilty, and assist the powerless.
God’s Word and Practical, Fruitful Living
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
Facts about Repentance
Repentance is God’s work – Acts 11:18
When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
God gives time for repentance – Revelation 2:21
And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent
Relatives
Relatives stand afar off – Psalm 38:11
My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague,
And my relatives stand afar off.
Thoughts
. Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause. - John Cantius
. Whoever seems to himself to have understood the divine scriptures in such a way that he does not build up that double love of God and neighbor has not yet understood. - Augustine of Hippo
