Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Present Day Life and Religion: A Series of Sermons on Cardinal Doctrines and Popular Sins "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" Gen. xviii: 25 "Men ought always to pray." Luke xviii: 1 These Two Scriptures bring us into the realm of ethics which has to do with the Tightness and of things. When a man is ethically sound, he is what he ought to be. Abraham with holy boldness applies the ethical test to God himself. He feels that it would be wrong to destroy the righteous with the wicked, and he is equally certain that it would be right to spare the many wicked for the sake of a few righteous. His horror at the thought of God´s doing wrong and his approval of his doing right make him ask the question, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" This gives us the divine side of prayer from an ethical point of view. Is it right for God to answer prayer? Does the "Judge of all the earth" do right when he gives audience to such petitioners as Abraham pleading for Sodom? The second text gives us the human side of prayer from an ethical point of view. It answers the question: Who is ethically right, the infidel who boasts that he never bows the knee, or the christian who prays? Is a prayerful life a moral life and, conversely, is the prayerless life immoral? In other words, can one who refuses to pray be ethically sound in his relations to God and man? Are ethical Associations that divorce morals from religion moral or immoral institutions? Jesus answers these questions: "Men Ought always to pray." Prayer belongs to the realm of oughtness. It is an ethical proceeding, so that the institution which inveighs against praying is unethical in character.
