Powerful and Positive Negatives — What True Love is NOT

 

Date : 2019-02-13
Speaker : Professor John Reim
1 Corinthians 13:1-7
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Hymn: TLH 363, st. 1-3: To our Redeemer’s Glorious Name

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio

1. To our Redeemer’s glorious name 
Awake the sacred song. 
Oh, may His love, immortal flame, 
Tune every heart and tongue. 

2. His love, what human thought can reach, 
What mortal tongue portray? 
Imagination’s utmost stretch 
In wonder dies away. 

3. He left His radiant throne on high, 
Left realms of heavenly bliss, 
And came to earth to bleed and die,– 
Was ever love like this?

Powerful and Positive Negatives — The Lord Does NOT Count Our Sins Against Us.

 

Date : 2019-01-18
Speaker : Professor John Reim
Romans 4:5-8
(RSV) “And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness. 6 So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:

7 “Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not reckon his sin.”

Hymn: TLH 168, st. 1-3: The Royal Banners Forward Go

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio

1. The royal banners forward go; 
The cross shines forth in mystic glow 
Where He in flesh, our flesh who made, 
our sentence bore, our ransom paid; 

2. Where deep for us the spear was dyed, 
Life’s torrent rushing from His side. 
To wash us in that precious flood 
Where mingled water flowed and blood. 

3. Fulfilled is all that David told 
In true prophetic song of old; 
Amidst the nations, God, saith he, 
Hath reigned and triumphed from the tree.

Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

Hymn: TLH 385, st. 2,4: Now I Have the Firm Foundation

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio


2. It is that mercy never ending, 
Which human wisdom far transcends, 
Of Him who, loving arms extending, 
To wretched sinners condescends; 
Whose heart with pity still doth break 
Whether we seek Him or forsake. 

4. O depth of love, to me revealing 
The sea where my sins disappear! 
In Christ my wounds find perfect healing, 
There is no condemnation here; 
For Jesus’ blood through earth and skies 
Forever “Mercy! Mercy!” cries.

Speaker : Professor John Reim
Isaiah 49:14-16
(NIV)
14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me.”
15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.”

Hymn: TLH 534, st. 2,5: God of My Life, to Thee I Call

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio


2. Friend of the friendless and the faint, 
Where should I lodge my deep complaint? 
Where but with Thee, whose open door 
Invites the helpless and the poor? 

5. Poor though I be, despised, forgot, 
Yet God, my God, forgets me not; 
And he is safe and must succeed 
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

Powerful and Positive Negatives — NOTHING Can Separate Us From the Love of Christ

 

Date : 2018-09-25
Speaker : Professor John Reim
Romans 8:31-39
(NIV) What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Isaiah 55:10-11
10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Hymn: TLH 458, st. 1,6: Our Father, Thou in Heaven Above

Hymnary.org— Organ Audio


1. Our Father, Thou in heaven above, 
Who biddest us to dwell in love, 
As brethren of one family, 
To cry in every need to Thee, 
Teach us no thoughtless word to say, 
But from our inmost heart to pray. 

6. Forgive our sins, Lord, we implore, 
Remove from us their burden sore, 
As we their trespasses forgive 
Who by offenses us do grieve. 
Thus let us dwell in charity 
And serve our brother willingly.
