Reflection Before The Service
Why me, Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one of the blessings I've known?
Tell me, Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth love from you or the kindness you've shown?
Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
But now that I know that I've needed you so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in your hand
– Kris Kristofferson, “Why Me, Lord?” (track 5 on the
1994 album, American Recordingsby Johnny Cash)
As P.T. Forsyth says, “It is an item of faith that we are children of God; there is
plenty of evidence in us against it. ” The faith that surmounts this evidence and is able to warm itself at the fire of God’s love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of holiness. . .We are not saved by the love we exercise, but by the love we trust.”
– Richard Lovelace, Dynamics of Spiritual Life (p. 213)

The Revelation of Jesus Christ 17.4-5 and 19.11-16
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery,
"BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written,
"KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
