Words Forwarded by Pastor Croft  

Impartial Judge, Impartial Savior

For there is no partiality with God. Romans 2:11

It's hard to imagine an impartial world. We make partial choices continually in our life--spouse, friends, foods, vocations, clothing, and many others. To say we are partial to this or that is not wrong--except in one way: how we treat people. The Bible says that, with God, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." And we are to view people with the same impartiality as God.

The Bible also says that God will judge impartially in the last day. That is, God's standard of righteousness will be applied to every human being (2 Timothy 4:8; 1 Peter 2:23). We can either be judged in Christ on the basis of His righteousness or on the basis of our own. God can apply the same strict standard in judging because He has made the same universal offer of salvation to all: "Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17b). All will be judged, and all are offered an escape from judgment by being hidden in Christ.

Since none are righteous on their own (Romans 3:10-18), all should accept the gift of Christ's righteousness today.

To those whom God finds impenitent sinners He will be found an implacable Judge. Matthew Henry

*David Jeremiah

Scripture  Reading        

Psalm  113:  1-­‐9  

1  Praise  ye  the  LORD.  Praise,  O  ye  servants  of  the  LORD,  praise  the  name  of  the  LORD.    

2  Blessed  be  the  name  of  the  LORD  from  this  time  forth  and  for  evermore.  

3  From  the  rising  of  the  sun  unto  the  going  down  of  the  same  the  LORD'S  name  is  to  be  praised.  

4  The  LORD  is  high  above  all  nations,  and  his  glory  above  the  heavens.  

5  Who  is  like  unto  the  LORD  our  God,  who  dwelleth  on  high,    

 6  Who  humbleth  himself  to  behold  the  things  that  are  in  heaven,  and  in  the  earth!  

7  He  raiseth  up  the  poor  out  of  the  dust,  and  lifteth  the  needy  out  of  the  dunghill;  

8  That  he  may  set  him  with  princes,  even  with  the  princes  of  his  people.  

9  He  maketh  the  barren  woman  to  keep  house,  and  to  be  a  joyful  mother  of  children.  Praise  ye  the  LORD.

As  God’s  messenger,  I  give  each  of  you  this  warning:  Be  honest  in  your  estimate  of  yourselves,  measuring  your  value  by  how  much  faith  God  has  given  you.    Just  as  our  bodies  have  many  parts  and  each  part  has  a  special  function,  so  it  is  with  Christ’s  body.    We  are  all  parts  of  his  one  body,  and  each  of  us  has  different  work  to  do.    And  since  we  are  all  one  body  in  Christ,  we  belong  to  each  other,  and  each  of  us  needs  all  the  others.    God  has  given  each  of  us  the  ability  to  do  certain  things  well.    So  if  God  has  given  you  the  ability  to  prophesy,  speak  out  when  you  have  faith  that  God  is  speaking  through  you.    If  your  gift  is  that  of  serving  others,  serve  them  well.    If  you  are  a  teacher,  do  a  good  job  teaching.    If  your  gift  is  to  encourage  others,  do  it!    If  you  have  money,  share  it  generously.    If  God  has  given  you  leadership  ability,  take  the  responsibility  seriously.    And  if  you  have  a  gift  for  showing  kindness  to  others,  do  it  gladly.    Don’t  just  pretend  that  you  love  others,  really  love  them.    Hate  what  is  wrong.    Stand  on  the  side  of  the  good.    Love  each  other  with  genuine  affection,  and  take  delight  in  honoring  each  other.    Never  be  lazy  in  your  work,  but  serve  the  Lord  enthusiastically.      Romans  12:3-­‐11

A SURRENDER LIFE

Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours.

Put me to what You will,

rank me with whom You will.

Let me be employed by You

or laid aside for You,

exalted for You

or brought low by You.

Let me have all things,

let me have nothing,

I freely and heartily yield all things

to Your pleasure and disposal.

And now,

O glorious and blessed God,

Father,

Son,

and Holy Spirit,

You are mine

and I am Yours.

So be it.

Amen.
