God is the creator, redeemer and sanctifier.
We have been created by Him.
We want to be redeemed by Him.
But do we want to be sanctified?
Are we willing to be sanctified?
We want to spend time for ourselves.
We want to do things that our lusts wants.
We do not want to count the costs of following Christ.
We want to live in comfort more than bear His cross.
We want to walk in our wilful and sinful ways.
Are we willing to be sanctified? If we are not sanctified, we are but hypocrities, lukewarm, false prophets, being spit out from Christ into the place of brimstone and burning lake.
Let us re-examine ourselves, our faith, our lives, our minds.
But if I say, I will not mention him or speak any more in his name, his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. Jer 20:9

True Wisdom
"This is the whole duty of man, to fear God and keep His commandments."
Ecclesiates 12
We often sought wisdom. We try to find in the world, in books, through seminars or through networking with people.
But we forget about God's revealed source of wisdom for us. More specifically, the books of proverbs and Eccelesiates.
Read it. There can be no greater gain of wisdom through these. And know that, wisdom, comes from God, is for us to fear God, is for us to love God, is for us to obey God.
