Thoughts

When someone blindly copies others, though knowing the worth of what they copied, and do not think it through, she would quote it at the wrong time, in the wrong occasion, not being relevant, not connecting the dots, not getting the points brought up by others, to her own shame. The more she boasts of it, the more the shame it is.

One thing is becoming more and more obvious: That this is a crucial key to separate those true Christians from the confused christians, or at least, identifying the ones who with all methods showing how faithful to God they are, either with praise or testimonies, are actually despicable in the very acts they thought are right before God:

You either treat God as your Lord; or you treat God as your tools.

An example of the latter, from Facebook, from time to time, I see this Malaysian lady who married to USA, to a white man, had a son who allegedly did so well in the material world that she is praising God for. There's nothing else she praises God for, except the success of her son, her bitcoin profits, etc.

Do we praise God for God? Or do we praise God for what blessings He has bestowed upon us? As if we are only happy when He did something for us. Are we self centered? Or God centered? This sadly is not even a struggle for them, but a justification, because they are so disillusioned in themselves that they do not even see that as sinful. They believe this is all for God.

For these folks, they would need to consider one thing that Moses and Paul brought up: If for the glory of God, I should go to hell, I am willing.

I guarantee they cannot understand this. For their motive of praising God ultimately, is for themselves. Not for God. They would seek to twist those verses. They would say: Oh, yea, I say I go to hell for God, but actually God will not let me do that, so basically that is just a pretend, pretend to say I would suffer hell for God's sake, for how can God, being good to me, let me go through that? So by saying that, they have made Moses and Paul a joke for saying that. The spirit of God is not with these pretenders. In the end of the day, they would asked: LORD LORD! Haven't we praised your name before others?
