• Gods judgment begins with those in covenant with
  Him!

  household of God and if it begins with us first,

• Our conceptions of God affect our worship and
  service to God.
• Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which
  cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which
  we may offer to God an acceptable service with
  reverence and awe for our God is a consuming
  fire. (Hebrews 1228-29)

• God seeks not only correct form but correct
  motivation in worship and service.
• Through Him then, let us continually offer up a
  sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of
  lips that give thanks to His name. And do not
  neglect doing good and sharing for with such
  sacrifices God is pleased. (Hebrews 1315-16)

• God promises to respond with His salvation!
• The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed,
  and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom
  to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (2
  Timothy 418)
