\u2022 My greatest thought is my accountability to God. – Daniel Webster<\/p>\n
\u2022 Those are fools who depend on man\u2019s estimation, so as to reckon it enough to be approved by men, for then only will the work have praise and recompense\u2014when it has stood the test of that day. – John Calvin<\/p>\n

What Would He Say?<\/b><\/p>\n
If He should come today And find my hands so full Of future plans, however fair, In which my Saviour has no share, What would He say?<\/p>\n
If He should come today And find my love so cold, My faith so very weak and dim I had not even looked for Him. What would He say?<\/p>\n
If He should come today And find that I had not told One soul about my Heavenly Friend Whose blessings all my way attend, What would He say?<\/p>\n
If He should come today Would I be glad, quite glad? Remembering that He died for all And none through me had heard His call, What would He say? <\/p>\n

When I Stand at the Judgment Seat<\/b><\/p>\n
When I stand at the judgment seat of Christ And He shows me His plan for me; The plan of my life as it might have been Had He had His way, and I see How I blocked Him here and I checked Him there And I would not yield my will, Shall I see grief in my Savior\u2019s eyes; Grief though He loves me still?<\/p>\n
Oh, He\u2019d have me rich, and I stand there poor, Stripped of all but His grace, While my memory runs like a hunted thing Down the paths I can\u2019t retrace. Then my desolate heart will well-nigh break With tears that I cannot shed. I\u2019ll cover my face with my empty hands And bow my uncrowned head.<\/p>\n
No. Lord of the years that are left to me I yield them to Thy hand. Take me, make me, mold me To the pattern Thou hast planned.<\/p>\n
The Judgment seat \u201cis meant for us professing Christians, real and imperfect Christians; and it tells us that there are degrees in that future blessedness proportioned to present faithfulness.\u201d <\/p>\n
– Alexander Maclaren, 1826\u20131910.<\/p>\n

That Which is Hidden Will Be Revealed<\/b><\/p>\n
It is Christians only who are in view here. All that we have hidden shall be revealed. The things we have done in the body will come back to us, whether good or bad. Every pious thought, and every thought of sin; every secret prayer, and every secret curse; every unknown deed of charity, and every hidden deed of selfishness; we will see them all again, and though we have not remembered them for years, and perhaps have forgotten them altogether, we shall have to acknowledge that they are our own. <\/p>\n
Is not that a solemn thing to stand at the end of life? <\/p>\n
James Denney, 1856\u20131917<\/p>\n
Judgment Seat<\/b><\/p>\n
Bema (judgment seat) in secular usage had four meanings: <\/p>\n
1. One\u2019s stride, or manner of walking (which reveals character). <\/p>\n
2. A platform for a public official (cf. Acts 25:6, 10, 17). <\/p>\n
3. A \u201crewards platform\u201d in sporting contests. Because of this meaning, some claim the \u201cbema\u201d is only a place for rewards\u2014not judgment. But in secular legal contexts it also denotes <\/p>\n
4. The place where litigants stood for trial. Paul repeatedly stressed this meaning; Acts 25:10, Romans 14:12. <\/p>\n
