zero toleration of toleration

Ezekiel 20:30-32 (JDV)

Ezekiel 20:30 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Lord Yahveh says: Are you defiling yourselves the way your fathers did, and prostituting yourselves with their repulsive things?
Ezekiel 20:31 When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your children in the fire, you still continue to defile yourselves with all your idols today. So should I let you investigate me, house of Israel? As I live – this is the declaration of the Lord Yahveh – I will not let you investigate me!
Ezekiel 20:32 ” ‘When you say, “Let us be like the nations, like the clans of other countries, serving wood and stone,” what is on your breath will never happen.

zero toleration of toleration

There is one thing our Lord will not tolerate, and it seems to be the very thing many in this generation seek to do. Our Lord does not tolerate compromise by those who claim to belong to him.

We cannot even come close enough to investigate him if we insist on following the world in its pursuit of idols.

LORD, purge us of our hypocrisy and open the door once again to a right relationship with you.
