A description of America! This was written about Israel but has practical application for our country.
Jeremiah 2:19 "19"Your own wickedness will correct you, And your apostasies will reprove you; Know therefore and see that it is evil and bitter For you to forsake the LORD your God, And the dread of Me is not in you," declares the Lord GOD of hosts."
Jeremiah 2:30 "In vain I have struck your sons; They accepted no chastening. Your sword has devoured your prophets Like a destroying lion."

Anger at God is Dangerous
For those foolish people who say it is alright to be angry with God, as though He has flaws.
Isaiah 45:9
"9"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands'?"
Isaiah 45:9
"9"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands'?"
Proverbs 29:15-16
" 15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother. 16 When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall.…"
The Ruthless and Their End
Isaiah 29:20-21
"20 For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished,
Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off;
21 Who cause a person to be indicted by a word,
And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate,
And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments."

And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments."
His Righteousness
"Christ did not merely give us a push,a 'head start', and leave us to work at establishing our own righteousness, on the rest of our way to heaven. Christ picked us up and into His arms, to carry us all the way to heaven by the virtue of His most precious blood, shed on the cross for our sins. (Romans 3: 22 & 25).That is the meaning of the word, GRACE. (Romans 11: 6). (Romans 4: 4 - 6). (Ephesians 2: 8 & 9).(Galatians 2: 21). (Jude 24)."

Amen, Amen!!!!! I think this is a very misunderstood doctrine. Even those who say they are saved by grace seem to be proud about how good they are doing. The longer I live the less proud I feel about myself and the more excited about Christ I become. The burden of "measuring up" is gone and the joy of being held up by Christ remains.

Authentic Love vs Superficial Love
Those who are more concerned about "love", superficial happiness that they believe is love, are more concerned about being loved by man than they are about imparting wisdom to the believers and salvation to the non-believers.
John 14:15
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments."
Exodus 23:22
“But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries."
1 John 5:3
"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome."
John 14:31
"But I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here."
God never said to us that the world will love us because we do what they like. He said that the world will love Him because they see our love for the Father and our obedience to Him.
Think about it!

The Scoffers Will Do This
2 Peter 3:3-4
"3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
