“When love is abounding
it produces a spirit of discernment.”
– Paul Pierpoint, 5/4/2000
>> If he’s right (I think he is) it explains the dearth of discernment today <<

God is holy – good men want to be like their holy God.
Man is unholy – evil men want their god to be evil like them.

TEMPLE TALK
Posted in uncategorized, tagged temple talk on May 25, 2015| Leave a Comment »
He went into the temple
Where you’d think one could look up
But his attitude was humble,
He saw dregs in his cup.
He asked God for mercy;
He beat upon his chest,
Called himself a sinner
(Not better than the rest).
He cast his eyes downward,
They sought the lowly ground
But God who measures all things,
The simple, the profound,
Liked his honest spirit
Heard his call and cry
Knew he meant his temple-talk,
Knew it more than “humble pie,”
And justified his soul;
He went back to his own place
With a calm in his heart
And heaven’s smile upon his face.
Friend, the next time you go to meeting,
The next time you’re in church
Avoid petty piousness,
Avoid the highest perch
Look at God, worship Him
And see yourself contrasted
As this man of old did.
His grace has ever-lasted.
– eab, May 2000
