Exodus 5:1-6:13; Psalms 35:1-36:12; Acts 2:1-21

Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women…and begin at my sanctuary. Ezekiel 9:6

It would be unrighteous of God to judge the world and allow sin in His own house (see Ezek. 8). We read in 1 Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God”. Paul warns us to not be highminded but to fear, for the point of no return is near when the faithless, worldly and carnal that swell the ranks of the church will not be spared, but cut off (Rom. 11:20-22). We should walk in godly fear and humble obedience. The Lord can and will judge His house. —Carl Knott

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. —Russell Kelso Carter
