Ample Cause—Our Justification

Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

Based on Matthew 6:25-34

 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?”

“Then the word of the Lord came to me: “Thus says the Lord: Even so will I spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this loincloth, which is good for nothing. For as the loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, declares the Lord, that they might be for me a people, a name, a praise, and a glory, but they would not listen.”

Jeremiah 13:8-11

We obey the law of the land unless it violates God’s laws. We must then obey God above government. Even the wind and waves obeyed. Do not be a rebellious nation in revolt like Ezekiel’s ancestors.

Woe to unrepentant cities

Is it wrong to have sorrow? Is sorrow just mindless anxiety and fears? How God teaches me his ways and truth about sorrow.
