The glorious,

majestic hope

found in the

gospel is always

in full bloom.

We do not stand upon the flimsy

sand-filled rock of human approval.

But we, as God’s royal ambassadors

do stand upon the glorious rock

of  Jesus Christ, King of Kings

and Lord of Lords, the one

and only way to eternal life.

For truly Father, Son, and

Holy Spirit is our definitive JOY!

 

We do not stand upon the

rock of cultural popularism

so that we can reach the

world by worldly trends

that makes the church

look more like the world and

less like our precious Savior.

But we do stand upon the

inerrant, living, Holy words

of Jesus Christ, King of Kings

and Lord of Lords, the one

and only way to eternal life.

 

 

We do not stand upon the

standard of success that

the world defines as

the rock of prosperity.

No our prosperity is

found in Godly obedience.

Our prosperity is found

in loving others well.

Our prosperity is found

in delighting in our Triune God.

No our prosperity is found in

Heaven where moth nor rust

corrupts our eternal rewards.

Our prosperity is found in the fruit

of the Spirit. Our prosperity is found

in personally knowing Jesus Christ,

King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Knowing our precious Trinitarian God

is the definition of” royal riches” for the Christian.

For there is no better royal robe then the

gold, silver, gem-encrusted robes of salvation.

Our true treasure is found in Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

 

We do not stand upon the rock of  our

own perceptions. For only God can

judge another. We stand upon the

rock of Jesus Christ who offers

His love, His transformation, His

“new creature good news” for all

who will but repent and receive

Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

May our slanderous oftentimes

unfair judgements not get in the way

of sharing the precious gospel of

Jesus Christ with all who Jesus

brings to our sphere of influence!

 

We do not stand upon the

rock of comfort and ease.

For our job as a royal image

bearer is through the power of

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

to share our comfort, our riches,

our blessings with others so that

we can be true image bearers of

Jesus Christ.For even our precious

Savior had not a place to lay his head.

 

We do not stand upon the

rock of  perfection for

we are all sinners saved

by the glorious gospel of

Jesus Christ. Our righteousness,

our perfection is only found

in our Savior, Jesus Christ

not in anything we have done.

Jesus is our only perfection.

For, the Christian our joy

is found in following Jesus,

being with Jesus, being

conformed into the image

of  our Savior. And if we

are truly following Jesus

we will stand out from

the world. We will be

different. We will be

passionate Christ-pleasers

not men pleasers. And if

the Christian truly listens

with eyes and ears of

faith, this is when you

can hear the Heavenly

halleluiah’s in Heaven.

For in this dark world,

rarely will the true authentic

Christians hear the earthly

praise of dusty humanity.

For this is what the true

authentic Holy Christian strives

for, the Heavenly Halleluiah’s.

 

We do not stand upon the flimsy

sand filled rock of  human approval.

But we, as God’s royal ambassadors

do stand upon the glorious rock

of  Jesus Christ, King of Kings

and Lord of Lords, the one

and only way to eternal life.

For truly, Father, Son, &

Holy Spirit is our definitive JOY!

I believe that the

greatest Saints

are those that

the world has

not nor will

not acknowledge.

They are the hidden

gemstones that when

Jesus comes will be

first in the eternal

kingdom of our God.

For our God says

that the last shall

be first. May we

strive to be last.

May we seek to

be those servants

who seek to serve,

to love, and come

to the aid of all who

need a Christ-centered,

royal soldier of the Cross

as an authentic friend.

May we be the ones

who proclaim the

gospel news to those

who the world hates.

May we rehearse

in our minds this

very phrase the

last shall be first.

The last shall be first.

The last shall be first.

The last shall be first.

And when we find

ourselves last, may

we rejoice. For this

is the most blessed,

Holy position of all.

This is the position

that all of Heaven,

angelic hosts, and

those who have

gone before and

our majestic Triune

God rejoices in.

Soldiers of the Cross,

Warriors for the

eternal Kingdom,

we can always rejoice

when we find ourselves last.

For the last shall be first.

For the last shall be first

For the last shall be first.

This is the Christian soldiers

victorious,  battle song.
