Psalm

Psalm 11
5:4-7
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
5
They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.
6
They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.
7
They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. Slide3
Spurgeon
He
must be very blind who worships a blind god: we pity a blind man, it is strange to worship a blind image
.Slide4
Spurgeon
The
meanest insect has more power of locomotion than the greatest heathen god
.Slide5
Augustine
Even
the dead surpass a deity who neither lives nor has lived
.Slide6
Maclaren
Worship
is sure to breed likeness. A lustful, cruel god will make his devotees so. Men make gods after their own image, and, when made, the gods make men after theirs. The same principle which degrades the idolater lifts the Christian to the likeness of Christ
.Slide7
Psalm 11
5:8
Those
who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. Slide8
1 Corinthians 2:14
The
natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. Slide9
1 John
4:12
No
one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Slide10
VanGemeren
False
worship is not innocent but demoralizing, and ultimately the worshipers will perish together with their perishable idols

Psalm 11
5:9-11
9
O
Israel, trust in the
Lord
! He is their help and their shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the
Lord
! He is their help and their shield.
11
You who fear the
Lord
, trust in the
Lord
! He is their help and their shield.
Slide12
Spurgeon
It
is his nature to bless, it is his prerogative to bless, it is his glory to bless, it is his delight to bless; he has promised to bless, and therefore be sure of this, that he will bless and bless and bless without ceasing
.Slide13
Boice
God’s
blessing is for you, whoever you may be, if you will only stop trusting in yourself and your own devices and instead begin to trust God
.Slide14
Psalm 11
5:12-13
The
Lord
has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
13
he will bless those who fear the
Lord
, both the small and the great. Slide15
Psalm 11
5:14-15
May
the
Lord
give you increase, you and your children!
15
May you be blessed by the
Lord
, who made heaven and earth!
Slide16
Psalm 11
5:16-18
The
heavens are the
Lord
’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.
17
The dead do not praise the
Lord
, nor do any who go down into silence.
18
But we will bless the
Lord
from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the
Lord
!
Slide17
Spurgeon
We who are still living will take care that the praises of God shall not fail among the sons of men. Our afflictions and depressions of spirit shall not cause us to suspend our praises
.Slide18
Spurgeon
Though the dead cannot, and the wicked will not, and the careless do not praise God, yet we will shout ‘Hallelujah’ for ever and ever. Amen
.Slide19
E’er
since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy
flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And
shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die,
And
shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And
shall be till I die
.Slide20
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll
sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave,
Lies
silent in the grave;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave
.Slide21
Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free reward,
a
golden harp for me!
’Tis
strung and tuned for endless years,
and
formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father’s ears
no
other name but Thine
