Judgment Seat bema
Phil 3 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to
have apprehended but one thing I do, forgetting
those things which are behind and reaching
forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I
press toward the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus.

Why all this strife and zeal about opinions?
Death and life go on their own way, carry on
their own work, and stay for no opinions...  What
a delusion it is therefore to grow gray-headed in
balancing ancient and modern opinions to waste
the precious uncertain fire of life in critical
zeal and verbal animosities

when nothing but the kindling of our working will
into a faith that overcometh the world, into a
steadfast hope, and ever-burning love and desire
of the divine life, can hinder us from falling
into eternal death. William Law, The Way to
Divine Knowledge (1752)
