Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be
exalted in the earth!
![Page 7: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
E c c l e s i a s t e s 5 : 1 - 2
Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear
rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
![Page 8: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
E c c l e s i a s t e s 5 : 1 - 2
Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily
before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words
be few.

It is important to stop life for a while
and spend time with the ones you love.

Before you jump into prayer, pause for a
few moments and remember who you
are talking to.

Do you talk to God, or at God?

… Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all
His benefits:

Isn’t it a comfort to worship a God who
we cannot exaggerate!

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the
first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you
things which must take place after this."
![Page 16: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow
around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
![Page 17: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
R e v e l a t i o n 4
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw
twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of
gold on their heads.
![Page 18: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices.
Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne there was a sea
of glass, like crystal.
![Page 19: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
R e v e l a t i o n 4
And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in
back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was
like a flying eagle.
![Page 20: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
R e v e l a t i o n 4
The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and
within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to
come!"
![Page 21: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
R e v e l a t i o n 4
Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,
![Page 22: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
R e v e l a t i o n 4
the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
"You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created
all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and
lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he
covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
![Page 24: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!" And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was
filled with smoke.

So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And
I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the
King, The Lord of hosts."

Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am

Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He
not with Him also freely give us all things?
![Page 30: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
R o m a n s 8 : 3 1 - 3 9
Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is
even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
![Page 31: We sometimes forget why we love God - Crosby Community · for they do not know that they do evil. Ec c lesiastes 5:1 - 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, ... • We sometimes forget](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042418/5f34d1bd94276c2f9b1862a9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
R o m a n s 8 : 3 1 - 3 9
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

R o m a n s 8 : 3 1 - 3 9
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to
come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
