God hath appointed a day, wherein he will judge the world, in righteousness, by Jesus Christ, to whom all power and judgment is given of the Father. In which day, not only the apostate angels shall be judged, but likewise all persons that have lived upon earth shall appear before the tribunal of Christ, to give an account of their thoughts, words, and deeds; and to receive according to what they have done in the body, whether good or evil. WCF 33.1

Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.” Acts 10:34-35

IN MEMORIAM | Rev. Ivan DeMaster Rev. John Shaw writes: "Rev. Ivan DeMaster, who passed into the presence of the Savior he loved on July 2... When I talked with the people in that church, they knew their pastor to be a humble man who genuinely loved the sheep. And his love for them was proved not merely in words, but especially in time with them where he listened more than he spoke. And for those reasons, when he preached, they hung on the words that came from his mouth. Ivan was a faithful Christian, husband, father, and pastor—he served four OP congregations for a total of forty-three years. He will be deeply missed by many in this life, but the church has been strengthened by his service, and we look forward to joining him one day in the presence of Jesus."
