The book of life or the lake of fire

Revelation 20

v15

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

We should be diligent to preach the gospel to people, so that their names can be found written in the book of life, so that they can be saved from being thrown into the lake of fire.

preparing for marriage or gathering for battle

Revelation 19

v7

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Let's ask ourselves, what are we preparing for, today? Are you preparing, in righteousness, to be with Christ...or will you be found live the evil ones who were gathered to battle against Him?

v8

And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Come out from Babylon

Revelation 18

v4

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Revelation 18:4 is talking about the destruction of a wicked city that it calls, Babylon. This verse is a warning that we should not be involved in sinful things, or we will also be involved in the destruction and judgment for those sins.

We might be tempted to think that some sins are small, and that they are no big deal...but those supposedly-small sins lead to death. For the Lord's people, He calls us to come out from being involved in all of those destructive sins.

Psalm 30 - Key

v12

To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

...and not be silent... Praising the Lord in my heart is fine, at times; but, there needs to be times when I am bold to sing praises to the Lord, out loud.

Application

We have the rare privilege where anybody can request hymns of praise for us to sing, in our worship meetings; so, I'll take better advantage of that.
