ANYTHING which is inconsistent to our Relationship with the Lord MUST be Rejected.
Our Lord was humiliated on earth; can we seek glory?
He was crucified as a robber; can we court the favor of this world?
He was slandered as possessed of a demon; can we look for praise from men that we are most clever and rational?
Such conditions reveal the inconsistency of our Relationship with the Lord.
They make us different from the Lord, even contrary to Him.
