“To understand that 'I cannot do what I want to do' (Romans 7) is to comprehend that no one else can either, apart from the Life that Saves.” — Martha Kilpatrick (Disappointed)

began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall

Daniel 5:5,6

God appeared as “the Living God,” a title Darius gave Him. (Daniel 6:26) He presents Himself as a Person. That He is ‘living’ means He responds to us. He acts. He comes. He judges.

Our idols are safe. God is not safe. He is not containable, reducible or manageable. When He is done with our willful rejection of His Throne, He suddenly appears at our party. And the revelry of self indulgence, of other-worships is over.

Today's teaching and preaching is so watered down and tasteless, with the emphasis on the individual and not recognizing at all the holiness and awe in God and His Christ. This teaching is soooo correct and NEEDED. Thank you, Martha. Please, keep fighting the good fight, chas
