One can’t live in this country without hearing from some the significance of those who have gone on before us, some even paying a high price for liberty so you and I can live in freedom. I agree with this expression in whatever form it may be expressed. I was willing to serve my country because I believe in the ideals of its founding. While some are chipping away at those foundations, doing their best to make us pay for the mistakes of those who have gone before us, it’s the Lord who reminds us that when we put our trust in Him, the dreadful mistakes of the past are carried and paid for by Him. What He requires of us is our commitment to His way, which expresses itself in faith and obedience. The price of Liberty is that Jesus paid a debt I could not pay. RT

 

The Charlatan Sacrifice (Word to the Wise)

A Word to the Wise. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight (Proverbs 15:8, NKJV). There are many people who feign a religious disposition. They do so because they don’t want others to see them as they actually are; they desire to be seen as morally upright and sympathetic to godliness. They “go to church,” are quite charitable, and do other things to be seen of men. Those who have a façade religious disposition can fool many, but they can never fool the Lord. The principle of Numbers 32:23 will certainly apply. “… behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out” (ESV). But for those who love the Lord, and are obedient to His will, their prayers are heard and answered.
