"To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
2 Samuel Chapter 22: Verse 26

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
1 Corinthians Chapter 15: Verse 24

"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that.
And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.Judging Others
Luke Chapter 6: Verses 27 - 36

I am with you and will save you,' declares the LORD. 'Though I completely destroy all the nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.'
Jeremiah Chapter 30: Verse 11

"It is not for kings, O Lemuel, not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer,
lest they drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish;
let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.
Proverbs Chapter 31: Verses 4 - 7

Today's Hymn: Battle Of Calvary, The

Great Apollyon, grim and awful, steeped in gore and stained in blood-

Death, with all his fearsome forces, has besieged the Son of God.

Satan, clothed with evil armor, darkly gleaming, proud and cold-

Merciless, he joins the battle, armed and clad with pow'r untold.

Bowed beneath demonic onslaughts, Jesus fights His awesome duel!

Pain devours its Holy Victim, searing, savage, raging, cruel!

Eager waits the Mouth of Sheol, huge, insatiable, and strong!

Maw agape, the Grave yearns after Holy Flesh-but not for long.

Writhing under Law's most fearsome curse, ruined, lost, polluted, wrecked;

Languishing in Satan's prison lie the souls of God's elect.

At the Cross-desire of Hell!-Christ gives up that final Breath:

Now, at last, the choicest Captive tastes the mortal sting of Death!

Darkness falls; the seething smoke of Hell cloaks the battlefield from view.

Down the head of God has fallen: Law and Wrath receive their due!

Satan smiles in seeming triumph, reaching out, his Prize to take.

Three brief days all Hell rejoices-then the stone begins to shake!

Now the night of wrong is ended; now the Grave has lost its Prize!

Now the Ris'n One breaks the back of Sin: There! Behold! See how Death dies!

Resurrection Light now scatters Satan's armies from the field.

Christ has drawn the fearful sting of Death: Sheol and Abaddon yield!

At His Glance the mighty prison built by Law and Sin falls down!

Countless in their thousand thousands, all His Ransomed praise His Crown!

Heav'n and Hell's astonished spirits in their joy and rage all stare

At the Victor of the Cross Who won His greatest Battle there.
