composed of two parts, hydrogen and one part oxygen. The slightest
deviation from the formula is forbidden.
There is no room for broadmindedness in music. The skilled director will
not permit his first violin to play even so much as one-half note off the
written note, chord, and key.
There is no room for broadmindedness in the mathematics classroom. Neither
geometry, calculus, nor trigonometry allows any variation from exact
accuracy, even for old time's sake. The solution of the problem is either
right or it is wrong (no tolerance there).
There is no room for broadmindedness on the athletic field. The game is to
be played according to the rules with no favors shown for 'charity's sake.'
There is no room for broadmindedness in the garage. The mechanic there says
the piston rings must fit the cylinder walls within one-thousandth part of
an inch. Even between friends there cannot be any variation if 'the motor
is to run smoothly.'
How then shall we expect that broadmindedness shall rule in the realm of
Christianity and morals?
He that forsakes the truth of God (JN 17:17 Thy word is Truth), forsakes the God of truth.

"God judgeth the righteous," he hath not given thee up to be condemned by the lips of persecutors. Thine enemies cannot sit on God's throne, nor blot thy name out of his book. Let them alone, then, for God will find time for his revenge.
"God is angry with the wicked every day." He not only detests sin, but is angry with those who continue to indulge in it. We have no insensible and stolid God to deal with; he can be angry, nay, he is angry to-day and every day with you, ye ungodly and impenitent sinners. The best day that ever dawns on a sinner brings a curse with it. Sinners may have many feast days, but no safe days. From the beginning of the year even to its ending, there is not an hour in which God's oven is not hot, and burning in readiness for the wicked, who shall be as stubble.
Verse 12. "If he turn not, he will whet his sword." What blows are those which will be dealt by that long uplifted arm! God's sword has been sharpening upon the revolving stone of our daily wickedness, and if we will not repent, it will speedily cut us in pieces. Turn or burn is the sinner's only alternative. "He hath bent his bow and made it ready."
Verse 11. "God is angry." The original _expression_ here is very forcible. The true idea of it appears to be, to froth or foam at the mouth with indignation. Richard Mant, D.D., 1824.
