• God has a twofold controversy with Moab concerning the people of Israel: first, “because they met you not with bread and water in the way when ye came forth out of Egypt,” and, second, “because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia to curse thee” (Deut. 23:4). We learn from this that sin can be negative as well as positive. He who neglects to do the will of God is as real a sinner as he who openly defies it. (“The Great Question” by W.W. Fereday)
