I am suffering more from the sin of ignorance. I am ignorant of so many things yet find only those who are worse off than me. Hang in there, I am persuaded that God is going to move once again in this age and we will all have our chance to accept or reject Him. Be forewarned because I believe He will move as He has in the past the first to reject Him will be the religious. Keep your ears open.
| Luke 18: 9 - 14 |
|
| 9 | He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others: |
| 10 | "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. |
| 11 | The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, `God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. |
| 12 | I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.' |
| 13 | But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, `God, be merciful to me a sinner!' |
| 14 | I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
