Today, if you will hear his voice, harden not your heart.

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he who doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Have We Lost the Reverance that God Holds for His Word?

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that procedeth out of the mouth of God.

Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock.

The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; what wisdom is in them?

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking head thereto according to thy word.

The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

Forever, O Lord thy word is settled in heaven.

Thy word is very pure, therefore thy servant loveth it.

The Bow and String

As unto the bow, the cord is, so unto the man, his woman. Though she bend him, she obeys him; though she draws him out, yet she follows. Useless each without the other. 

God Dwells in the Lowly and Contrite Heart

Nowhere does it say that some sin loving, careless, slothful, indifferent person to whom you witnessed and induced to say a prayer is inhabited by the living Christ. No, Christ refuses to inhabit any proud in heart person. Some of you who have made many converts need to repent because they have been your converts and not Christ’s converts. You have led many people who are full of themselves, whose arrogancy oozes out of every opening in their lives, and you have led them to think that they have been saved. What a pathetic, tragic, wicked thing to do. If you love souls, you will so elevate the Lord God omnipotent that people learn to fear God and humble themselves before him.  – Richard Owen Roberts
