Colossians 1:18 KJV
"...And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence..."Christ, by heav'nly hosts adored,
Gracious, mighty, sovereign Lord,
God of nations, King of kings,
Head of all created things,
By the Church with joy confessed,
God o'er all, for ever blessed,
Pleading at thy throne we stand,
Save thy people, bless our land.
On our fields of grass and grain
Send, O Lord, the kindly rain;
O'er our wide and goodly land
Crown the labors of each hand.
Let thy kind protection be
O'er our commerce on the sea.
Open, Lord, thy bounteous hand;
Bless our people, bless our land.
Let our rulers ever be
Men that love and honor thee;
Let the pow'rs by thee ordained
Be in righteousness maintained.
In the people's hearts increase
Love of piety and peace.
Thus united, may we stand
One wide, free, and happy land. (TH, 623).1.) Jesus is preeminent in all of the church.2.) Jesus is preeminent in the head of the church.3.)

Is crowned with glory now;
A royal diadem adorns

The highest place that heav'n affords
Is his, is his by right,
The King of kings and Lord of lords,
And heav'n's eternal Light:
The Joy of all who dwell above,
The Joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his Name to know.
To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is giv'n;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heav'n.
They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The myst'ry of his love.
The cross he bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to him;
His people's hope, his people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme. (TH, 215).
To preach, defend and teach the whole counsel of God according to God's written Word alone. John Calvin use to preach everyday despite health problems. It is an old reformation tradition. I hope to preach the divine Scriptures everyday for edification in a "humble" attempt to imitate Calvin's ambition through Luther's disputations by preaching because I am seeking a "great reformational awakening" of the sons and daughters of Adam in a ungodly time to the apostolic gospel.
