“Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.”
Joshua 7:13 KJVThis is a word for true believers in Christ. God is not mocked nor is he blind. The whole body suffers when one sinner destroys much good. Because grace abounds, do we then continue in sin because the way is popular that leads to destruction? If a man lusts for a woman and another for a man, is it not that sin lies at the door when lust has conceived? He is a fool that says in his heart there is no God. Moreover he is a son of Belial if he confesses it with his mouth. Why tempt God blaspheming his holy name? Jesus! Jesus Christ! Let a curse become the mantle upon those who love cursing. Let those who foul the air with unclean lips be put in derision. And let the lying lips be cut off. Where is the righteous among the counselors of Sodom? He is taken away from the evil that is to come. The sword, the famine and pestilence. The strange work.
EKKLESIA 183
