“The LORD detests men of perverse heart but He delights in those whose ways are blameless.” [Proverbs 11:20]
Again let us ask: Are our leading laymen examples of holiness? Does business integrity and honesty run parallel with religious activity and Christian observance?
If God’s work is to make men and women holy and He has made ample provisions in the law of doing this very thing – why should it be thought impertinent and useless to express such personal and pointed questions such as these?
They deal directly with the work of God and with its progress and its perfection. These questions go to the very center of the disease. They hit the spot.
Dear God, You chose me to be holy and blameless in Your sight, even before Creation. Please help me, Lord, to live a life pleasing to You. Amen. [The Power of Prayer]
