HYMN OF THE DAY
My King
My God is my King named YAH:
Enthroned , Holy and Sov'reign.
His subjects He doth enthrall
With His Person and domain.
My King is victorious.
He has defeated His foes.
All His works are marvelous.
In His majesty He goes.
His people were bound by sin.
Before Him they were just worms.
His people are forgiven.
All He is, in them He forms.
My King is the Lord Jesus
Who loads us with benefits.
He protects and preserves us.
He does all from where He sits.
I love my King supremely,
Because my King first loved me.
He saved my soul completely.
I bow to His Majesty.
Tune: Depths of Mercy, # 233

NO KING, NO RULE, NO RIGHT, NO WRONG
“In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 21:25…
“This scripture clearly describes the day in which we live. These days there is no absolute Sovereign God being preached; no Judge; no Lord on the throne, no fear of God; so there is no right or wrong, no sin, no punishment for sin; so everyone is free to do anything they like. Blame it on the pulpit. Blame our sick society on the many false preachers who have told everyone for so long now, how much God loves them all, no matter who they are or what they are doing; no matter that they live like hell and hate God in Heaven…He loves you anyway (they say). So men and women believe these liars and live as they please, with no fear of God, and no fear of any consequences for sin. Oh the great and terrible surprise people are in for when they face the true and living God; the God of the Bible; the Holy and righteous Lord and King of the universe Who hates sin. May the same Lord unite our hearts to fear His Name, and call upon Him to have mercy on us all. - Paul Mahan

“You may impose all sorts of rules, regulations, requirements, rituals, and organizations on churches and individuals, but if the Lord does not have their hearts, it is all futile. However, a heart devoted to Christ is a heart in love; and true love needs none of these things. ‘I am His and He is mine’.” - Henry Mahan

“There are really only two religions in the world. One of Cain and the other of Abel. One of Ishmael and the other of Isaac. One of Esau and the other of Jacob. One of law and the other of promise. One of Mount Sinai and the other of Mount Calvary. One condemns, the other finds no fault. One leads to bondage, the other to freedom. One tendeth to death, the other to life. One of weakness, the other of power. One of merit, the other of mercy. One of the weakness of the letter, the other of the power of the Spirit.” - Author Unknown

I shall never forget one summer afternoon, when I was preaching in a village chapel about the joys of heaven, that an elderly lady sitting on my right kept looking to me with intense delight. Some people’s eyes greatly help the preacher. A telegraph goes on between us. She seemed to say to me, “Bless God for that. How I am enjoying it!” She kept drinking in the truth, and I poured out more and more precious things about the eternal kingdom and the sight of the Well beloved, till I saw what I thought was a strange light pass over her face. I went on, and those eyes were still fixed on me. She sat still as a marble figure, and I stopped and said, “Friends, I think that yon sister over there is dead.” They said that it was even so, and they bore her away She had gone. While I was telling of heaven, she had gone there; and I remember saying that I wished that it had been my case as well as hers. It was better not, perhaps, for many reasons; but oh, I did envy her! I am always looking for the day when I shall see her again. I shall know those eyes, I am sure I shall. I shall recollect that face, if in heaven she is anything like what she was here, or bears any marks of identification. I shall not forget that inward fellowship which existed between a soul that stood with wings outspread for glory, and the poor preacher who was trying to talk of that which he knew but little of compared with her. Well, well, it will soon be my turn. - C.H. Spurgeon
