13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? 15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and THE LORD hearkened, and heard it , and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 THEN shall ye return, and DISCERN BETWEEN THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

There is a day coming ... Why do the wicked always prosper? Why does the man/woman who dishonors God sleep peacefully at night and always have success & esteem in the world? Because like the oxen in the well-fed stall they are being fattened for the slaughter. Do not envy the wicked.
Good sermon, worth listening to. Encouraging.

The Tares in the Church He says that man has no ability to discern the difference between the wheat and the tares or between the true sheep and the goats, so therefore we are told by God to not tear up the tares but to leave them grow alongside the wheat until the Day of the Lord. Otherwise we would inevitably tear up the wheat with them.

Great Sermon! Most esteemed Sir,
It was a while since I last commented though for some sermons in a gap this reply comment is being made to measure so to say your sermon. I looked at the frontispiece of Ulster or Dublin and was clear about God's intent to live among men, Lev.26:12 and the God who told all the law to the Fahers, v.42. Now, I reasoned from your homepage, if God so willed to dwell, surely men had better have something to build to welcome God in their habitations. Your line from Malachi 3:16 and so forth, has me questioning why the plan to destroy is written in scripture as if all cities got to be Sodom or something, Isaiah 1:9. Isn't it why men are so clever they are repenting and trying to prevent this seizure of all their buildings and reminiscences of being so special to God that He desired a habitation with them that came about in the mind of David, 2 Samuel 7:1-2 and was done in the time of Solomon, Acts 7:46-47?
Thanks for your sermon on the day God makes up his jewels. I expect Him not to destroy as men fear. Right?
