A Tragic Repetition

A Tragic Repetition

We have seen such a tragic repetition of it in our own days.

"With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction!" Hosea 8:4

Sad indeed is the above passage--and the more so, because we have seen such a tragic repetition of it in our own days.

Oh what earthly-mindedness, what indulging of the flesh, what sinful extravagance--are now seen among professing Christians today!
How practical godliness has waned;
how the denying of self has disappeared;
how covetousness, pleasure and worldliness now possess the great majority of those calling themselves the people of God.
Yet as great as the sin of the people is--far greater is that of most of the preachers, who, instead of warning, admonishing, rebuking, and setting before their people an example of sobriety and contentment--criminally remain silent upon the crying sins of their hearers, while they themselves encourage the reckless indulgence of worldly lusts.

परामर्श कसरी बाइबलीय व्यावहारिक सहायता र आशा दिने के तपाई मिलापको सेवा गर्न चाहन्छु ? के तपाई कसैलाई सहायता गर्न तयार हुनुहुन्छ ?” सहायता र सेवा गर्ने चाहना गर्नु ठिक हो । तर तपाईले दिने सेवा र सहायता सहयोगी, वास्तविक र उपयोगी रहेको सुनिश्चित कसरी गर्नु हुन्छ ? समस्या ठिक हो वा होइन कसरी ठम्याउनु हुन्छ ? यदि “प्रस्तुत गरिएको समस्या” वास्तविक समस्या छैन भने तपाई के गर्ने ? तपाई समक्ष प्रस्तुत गरिएको समस्या वास्तविक समस्या छैन भने तपाई के गर्ने ? सहायताको लागि समर्पक गरेको व्यक्तिको पक्षमा सत्यताको कमी छ भने तपाई के गर्ने ? मानिसहरू तपाई कहाँ सल्लाहको लागि आउँछन् । तिनीहरूलाई समस्याहरूवाट निकाल्न तपाईले कुन आधारभूत सिद्धान्तहरू र प्रक्रियाहरूको प्रयोग गर्नुहुन्छ ? तिनीहरूलाई तपाईले केको आधारमा परिवर्तनको वाटोमा मर्गदर्शन गर्न आवश्यक ठान्नुहुन्छ ? सेवा र सहायता दिनु पहिले तपाई आफैसँग एउटा प्रतिबद्धता गर्नुहोस कि तपाईको परामर्श बाइबलीय हुनुपर्छ । तपाई स्वंयको सल्लाह र सहायता परमेश्वरवाट आएको हुनुपर्छ । बाइबलले हामीलाई सिकाउछ, “ “पहिले परमप्रभुसँग सल्लाह लिनुहोस् ।” (१ राजा २२ः५ ) ...

Catch The Little Foxes

Catch The Little Foxes... "Catch the little foxes that ruin the vineyards; for our vines have tender grapes." Song of Songs 2:15 Look within, each one of you. Examine your own hearts. Do you see there any habit which you know is wrong in the sight of God? If you do, resolve at once to cast it off!  Resolve at once, by God's help, to break off every known sin, however small. Nothing darkens the eyes of the mind so much, and deadens the conscience so surely--as an allowed sin. It may be a little one--but it is not any less dangerous.  A small leak will sink a great ship.  A small spark will kindle a great fire.  In the same way, a little allowed sin will ruin an immortal soul.  Take my advice, and never spare a little sin! Israel was commanded to kill every Canaanite, both great and small. Act on the same principle--and show no mercy to little sins.  You can be sure that no wicked man ever meant to be so wicked at his first ...
