RISE UP O CHURCH OF GOD!

Rise up, O church of God! 
Have done with lesser things!
Give heart, and soul, and mind, and strength 
To serve the King of kings!

Rise up, O church of God
From vain ambition turn!
Christ rose triumphant that your hearts
With nobler zeal might burn!

Rise up, O church of God!
His kingdom's task embrace!
Redress sin's cruel consequence!
Give justice larger place!

Commit your hearts to seek
the paths which Christ has trod,
and quickened by the Spirit's power
Rise up, O church of God!

Arise, your light is come!
The Spirit's call obey!
Show forth the glory of your God
Which shines on you today!
(William P. Merrrill)

Count all things loss

"What things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.  ...I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord ...that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death,if by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. ...I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus!!" -Phil.3:7-14

God's Message to Planet Earth...

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE! ~J0HN.3:16~
