VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Delulu!

 

Why Are You All Calling Her Delulu!?! 

Isn't Her Name Rosalie!?! 

Marion, My Dear, Her Name Is Indeed Rosalie 

But, Without Exception

We Know That Delulu Fits Her Much Better! 

We May Not Be Her Mother 

But We Have Given Her The Name That Matches Her Character! 

Isn't That Kinda Harsh, Mohrmahnie!?! 

It May Be Harsh, Mavis

But It Is About The Only Relief We Can Get From Her Behavior! 

She Knows What We Are Doing 

And She Does Not Care! 

What On Earth Do You Mean, Mohrmahnie!?! 

Why Would Anyone Accept A Name That Is Not Their Own!?!

Mavis, Our Dear Rosalie Has The Grand Idea That 

She Knows What Is Best For Everyone 

And Goes To Great Lengths To Tell Us, With Great Authority

What To Think, How To Act

Who To Speak To, What To Say

And Even What To Ask The Good Lord For In Our Prayers! 

I'm Sorry To Say It, Mohrmahnie

But Your Rosalie Sound Totally Delusional! 

Mavis, Muh Girl, You Arrive! 

Welcome! 

Lady M, Would You Like To Explain That Remark!?! 

Mavis, Don't Let Me Call You Molasses! 

Why Would You Do Such A Thing!?! 

I Would Call You Molasses 

Because You Real Slow On The Uptake!

You Were Sorry To Call Rosalie Delusional 

But Did Not Make The Connection To Delulu! 

Gracious Me! I Truly Didn't! 

Looking Back, She Is Delulu As You Put It 

Because The Lord Did Not Charge Her 

To Be Anybody's Brain, Body, Or Boss! 

We Each Will Stand Before The Judgment Bar Of 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Whether We Are Right, Wrong, Humble, Proud

Converted, Unconverted, Blessed Or Cursed 

To Answer For What We Have Done In Our Own Flesh! 

Is She Our Savior!?! 

Did She Die For Our Sin!?! 

Is She Our Advocate!?! 

Will She Leave Earth, Go To The Father's Throne

Intercede For Us And Return To Earth 

And Call Us To Meet HER In The Air 

To Go Home To Heaven For The 1,000 Years Of Peace!?! 

Come Now, Mavis! 

We Know She Won't Because She Can't 

Hence Her "Delulu" Appellation! 

Somebody Needs To Beard That Roaring Lionness! 

We Tried ... And Failed! 

She Says That The Lord Speaks To Her 

Giving Her Special Revelation For Us "Mere Mortals!"  

Lady M, All I Have To Say To Her, And All Like Her

Is To Stop Calling The Lord's Name 

Relevant To Their Lying Revelations Of Foolishness! 

The Lord Clearly Warned Us About That Madness 

And She Had Better Take Heed! 

Tell Me That Text, Ms. Mavis! 

Sure! 2 Peter 2:3 ... Destruction Is Coming! 

Everybody Clean Up, Clean Up! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Malicious Wickedness!?!

 

Let Me Say It Another Way: 

Dish-Out Does Give A Pay-Back! 

Sowers Reap More Than They Sow 

So Be Very, Very Careful Of What You Maliciously Do To Others 

Because Maliciousness Has Got Two "I" - Two Eyes: 

One For Me, The Target

And For Thee, The Archer! 

Its Origin Is Satanic 

So It Is Without Caring Or Conscience 

And Will Eat The Eater! 

Never Ever Forget That Maliousness Is A Curse 

And Wickedness Mek It Wors'! 

Planned And Produced Sin Is Iniquity 

And Is An Offense Against Almighty God 

And A Hurt To Man! 

Peter, Have You Ever Considered That 

People Who Take Pleasure In Their Ungodly Doings 

Ignoring The Pain And Anguish They Inflict Upon Others

And That Without Mercy

Are The First To Say "Why Me!?!" 

And Beg And Plead With The Living God

- Whom They Disparage And Despise - 

For The Very Mercy That 

They Deny Their Targets, Their Prey

Their Inoffensive Victims!?! 

Yes, Mackey, I Did

But I Don't Understand It Even Now! 

Peter, My Friend

It Blows My Mind Every Time I See It! 

Mackey, What I Don't Get Is 

Why They Would Think To Ask God For Mercy 

After They Have Hurt Someone 

And Not Ask For Mercy Before They Hurt That Person!?! 

Pearson, That Is The Million Dollar Question 

And It Is The Behavior Of The Fool 

Who Says That There Is No God! 

They Do Not Hold God In Their Thoughts

Say That He Cannot See Them

And Do Not Believe That 

There Is The Almighty God 

To Hear The Cries Of His People 

Who Are Praying For Justice And Relief! 

I Believe With All My Heart That 

Though, To Me, The Lord Tarries

His Justice Will Come 

And It Will Be At The Right Time 

For He Is Never Late! 

I Encourage Us All To Keep The Holy Faith 

Because Every Long Day Has A Five O'clock! 

When The Shutters Come Down On That Bank 

Whoever Is Inside The Building Has No Way Of Escape 

And Will Have To Face The Music 

When The Bank Opens Again! 

You Know What

I Will Stick With The Lord Because, As King David Said

The Lord Will Have Mercy: 

Man Won't! 

Thank You, Lord, For Grace And Mercy! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace Be Upon Us All! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Reality Always Bites!

Ohhh, I Can Just Feel It! 

Feel What, Mauby!?! 

The Intense Part Of The Sermon Lecture Talk, Maybe

About To Come From Bro. Lookatit! 

Mauby, You Know That That Is Not His Name

And You Shouldn't Make Mock-Sport Of The Teacher! 

Any Way, Maybe, Here It Comes! ... 

Look At It, Brethren

We All Have Only One Of Two Choices: 

The Liar Or The Lord, The Savior Or The Destroyer

Heaven Or Hell, Immortality Or Oblivion

Blessing Or Cursing, Love Or Hate

Light Or Darkness, Truth Or Error Aka Lies

Wisdom Or Folly, Peace Or War

Hope Or Despair, Life Or Death

And Sickness Or Health! 

Contrary To Popular Opinion, This Is Not Rocket Science! 

This Is Reality, Real Life 101! 

The Lord Does Not Have A Hidden Agenda: 

The Adversary Does! 

The Lord Provides Full Disclosure: 

The Adversary Indulges Smoke And Mirrors! 

The Lord Gives The Facts Regarding The Present And The Future: 

The Adversary Obscures The Truth Regarding The Present 

And Boldly Lies About The Future! 

The Lord Can Make You Do What He Wants But He Will Not: 

Satan Would Like To Force You To Do What He Wants But He Cannot! 

The Adversary Hates Who And What The Lord Loves: 

The Lord Loves Who And What The Adversary Hates! 

Let Us Seriously Look At It: 

We Have The Opportunity To Go To The Home 

Which The Adversary Can Never Return To 

And So He Has Made It His Reason For Being 

To Try To Stop Any And All Of Us 

From Going There With His Machinations: 

He Knows What We Will Be Getting 

Because He Knows What He Has Lost! 

Regret Is His Lot: 

Hope Is To Our Glory! 

When You Honestly Take A Look At It

The Choice, Good Or Ill, Is Ours Alone! 

The Word Is Our Guide: 

Really Look At It And Read It With Understanding! 

Brethren, 

I Sincerely Pray That We Will All Forget About The "Feels" 

And Choose To Choose Wisely!  

Peace Be Unto You! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Good Report!?!

 

Okay, That Is It For Roll Call! 

True, Honest, Just, Pure, And Lovely

I Am Truly Glad To See You Again! 

I See That Good Report Is Late Yet Again! 

Brother Choosy, Good Report Is Not Late! 

He Has Chosen Not To Show His Face! 

Really!?! 

And Why Is That, Lovely!?! 

Well, It Is Not My Story To Really Tell 

But Since You Pressed Me

Good Report Reported That 

He Has Not Found Anything Of Good Report To Report 

So His Report Is Not To Report His Report! 

Lovely Lady, Would You Care To Run That Pretzel By Me Again!?! 

Ohhh, Never Mind! 

I Have A Mind To Mind My Mind! 

Please Go And Ask Good Report To Come On In! 

Will Do, Brother Choosy! 

MOMENTS LATER ... 

Thank You, Good Report, For Gracing Us With Your Presence! 

Please Tell Us What Has You In Such A Tizzy!?! 

Brother Choosy, I Have Never Been So Discouraged In My Life! 

I Could Not Find A Single Thing That 

I Could Say Was Worth Thinking On Because 

It, Of Itself And In Its Present State

Was Nothing Good To Hear, See, Or Do! 

It Was As Though People Are Hell-Bent 

On Joyfully Gracing Hell With Their Presence! 

It Was The Young, The Old, The Grey And The Grizzly! 

Biting My Tongue Was All I Could Do Not To Cry 

Knowing That The Adversary Must Be In His Glee!

 

It Was Almost Like What We Read About 

The Cities Of The Plain In Lot's Day! 

Okay, Good Report, Calm Down! 

We Can Figure This Out! 

First, You Should All Know By Now That 

You Cannot Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow's Ear! 

Secondly, If A Thing Has No Redeeming Features

It Must Be Cast Out Of Our Minds 

So That We Are Not Cast Into Outer Darkness! 

Thirdly, If That Thing Has No Virtue

Much Like Point Second, Then We Cannot Lift It Up By Praise! 

Remember Always: Heavenly Treasure Before Worldly Pleasure! 

Dear Ones,

Look At Your Own Names And Assignments 

And Pay Close Attention To Me! 

You Are All Brethren, And You Are Linked In A Chain: 

If You Are True, You Are Honest! 

If You Are Honest, You Are Just! 

If You Are Just, You Are Pure

And If You Are Pure, You Will Be Lovely! 

Now, If The Five Of You Run True To Form 

- Pardon Me, True - 

Good Report Will Smile And Make A Good Report 

Stressing Heavily On Its Virtue

And Will Sing Its Praise

And We Will Be Completely Free To Think, To Meditate, On That Thing! 

Remember, My Children:

Our Lives Are What Our Thoughts Make Them 

So Jealously, Zealously, Guard Your Heart! 

Stick Together 

And Good Report Will Indeed Smile! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Cossie

 

You Real Up And Down, Cossie! 

I Know, Mavis! 

Isn't It Wonderful!?! 

Are You Mad, Cossie!?! 

Mavis Is Insulting You! 

Mavis Would Like To Believe That She Is Insulting Me 

But, Truth Be Told

She Just Paid Me A Wonderful Compliment, Cuddy! 

Oh, Brother! 

I Have Got To Hear This! 

It Is Like This, Cuddy! 

I Am A Christian And I Have Committed Myself 

To Walk Consistently In The Light That Leads To Life! 

To Do This, I Must Grow 

And To Grow, To Show Growth

To Show That I Am Growing Up 

Into The Stature That Is Jesus Christ The King

I Must Put Down Roots As In 

I Must Be Rooted And Grounded In The Word! 

I Must Know And Live, Practice, Preach, And Purvey That 

Which I Know, Understand, And Accept 

Is The Saving Truth

The Truth For Today Always Current! 

Wait A Minute, Cossie! 

Where You Get That Line From!?! 

Wait, Mastic! 

Don't You Read Your Bible At All!?! 

I Read My Bible And I Ain't Never Seen That Sentiment! 

Wow! 

Another Surface Reader! 

Another One Who Is Reading Without Understanding! 

I Know, Reggie! 

Do You Want To Tell Them Or Should I!?! 

I'll Take A Piece Of That Action! 

Brethren, 

Have You Not Read The Parable That Jesus Told 

About The Sower And The Seed!?! 

Of Course We Have! 

Nice Story! 

I Like The Part About The Harvest That Was 

30, 60, And 100-Fold Return! 

Cossie, It's The Usual, Isn't It!?! 

Yup! Look Only At The Reward And Not At The Regrets! 

Sigh ...! 

Okay, People! 

Listen To Me Carefully! 

Jesus Firmly Spoke About The Seed That 

Fell On Rocky Ground! 

There Was Little Soil 

And Even Though The Seed Sprouted

It Had No Depth Of Earth 

To Send Down Roots To Hold Nourishment 

And So It Could Not Grow Up 

To Bear Fruit To Be Harvested 

And So It Died! 

So, You See, Up And Down Christianity 

Is Good Theology! 

Dig Deep Into The Word 

And Grow Up In Sanctification 

Which Is The Work Of Lifetime 

As The Holy Spirit Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, Think Carefully! 

A Tree Without Roots ... Deep Roots

Cannot, Will Not, Endure A Storm In Its Life! 

Troubles Toss Rootless Trees! 

Christians Unschooled In The Word Of God 

Do Not Know How To Live 

Or Why A Christian Lives In The Manner That 

The Lord Specified! 

Oh, My, Reggie! 

I Feel Really Ashamed Of Myself 

Now That You've Explained The Story! 

Cossie, I Am Sorry For Attempting To Insult You! 

It's Okay, Mavis! 

Some Good Came Of It! 

Yes, Cossie! 

I'm Going To Read That Parable Again 

And I Am Going To Start My Journey Again 

And Be An Up And Down Christian ... The Good Way: 

Down In The Word 

And Up Toward Sanctification 

Which Leads To Glorification! 

Hear, Hear! 

Lord, Lead Me, Lead Us Gently Along! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Learning The Language Of The Saved!

Chubbles, You Won't Believe The Language That I Have Been Learning Lately! 

Do Tell ...! 

Girl, It Has Been Exciting And I Am Learning A Lot! 

But What Is ...!?! 

Chubbs, You Have Got To Learn This Language! 

It Sweet Fuh Days! 

But, Mavis, You Are ...! 

Will You Stop Interrupting My Flow!?! 

I Am Trying Real Hard To Tell You About This Need To Know Language 

In Which All Committed Christians Must Have Proficiency! 

I Would Love To Hear About It, Mavis! 

Say On! 

Well, Chubbs, I Was Talking To Carson 

And He Said That He Heard About It From His Cousin Aunt Husband 

Who Heard About It From The Pastor's Sister-Friend! 

Anyway, It Seems As Though All The Church Members 

Have Here Of Late Been Moaning, Groaning, And Complaining That 

If They Are So Blessed, How Come That Their Blessings Are So Few! 

Uh, Oh ...! 

You Said It Right! 

Anywho, Pastor Hisone Got Good And Tired Of 

The Members Behaving Like Agony-Aunts 

And He Read Them The Riot Act! 

Sufficed To Say, What The Pastor Said 

Lit A Fire Under Those People And It Is Spreading! 

What Is The Language, Mavis, The Language!?! 

Oh, Sorry! Pastor Hisone Told Those People That 

If They Learned To Speak Grateful And Stop Speaking Gimme

Maybe The Lord In Mercy Would Permit Them To Physically See 

More Of HIS BOUNTIES! 

Why Are You Shouting, Mavis!?! 

I'm Shouting Because I Was Blind! 

We Have Bibles, Don't We!?! 

Should A Pastor Have To Tell Us To Be Grateful!?! 

Doesn't The Word Say "Give Thanks!?!" 

You Can't Give Thanks With An Ungrateful Heart You Know! 

You Ain't Lie At All, Mavis

And I'm Guilty Of The Same Crime ... Ingratitude! 

Well, Let's Get Over Ourselves

And Be Grateful And Thankful Always

And Our Lord Jesus Will Bless Us 

And Give Us His Peace And Rest! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Touch-Starved!?!

 

Platonic Physical Contact!?! 

Yeah! It's A Thing! 

But Why!?! Isn't That What We All Do 

With Friends, Acquaintances And The Like, Chari!?! 

What I Want To Know Is 

Why There Is That Particular Modifier '"Platonic" Appended! 

Well, Let Me Tell You About It, Brown Girl! 

As I Understand It, This Desire For Platonic Physical Contact

Comes About A Result Of One Being Rendered "Touch Starved" 

After The Breakup Of An Intimate Relationship! 

Really, Colly!?! 

I Kid You Not, Bramble! 

So Whose Fault Is That!?! 

That's A Very Good Question, Youme! 

So Who Has The Answer!?! 

I'll Take A Stab At It 

But You May Not Like The Answer! 

Alright, Bamsee! 

Let's Hear What You've Got! 

We Are Christians, Right!?! 

Of Course We Are! 

And We Are, Or Should Be

In A Committed, Intimate, Relationship With Our Lord Jesus!?! 

Of Course We Are! 

That's The Foundation And The Backbone

The Head And Belly If You Will, Of Being A Christian! 

Nice Point, Phensic! 

Sooo, When You Are In This Committed And Intimate Relationship With The Lord

How Do You Have Or Preserve And Grow Your Relationship!?! 

Come On, Bamsee! That's An Easy Question! 

So What's The Easy Answer, Bramble!?! 

As If You Don't Know

We Reverently Say Our Prayers

Enthusiastically Sing Praises To His Holy Name

And Deliberately Read Or Listen To His Word

And Lovingly Think On And Speak About Him 

As We Remember His Goodness To Us 

And His Sacrifice For Us! 

That's A No-Brainer! 

So What Would Happen If, No, When We Neglect 

To Do All Of Those Things 

Noted In Your "No-Brainer" Answer, BRAMBLE! 

Bamsee, Like In Any Intimate Relationship

The Gentle, Gradual, Erosion Of The Intimate Points Of Contact 

Turns That Relationship Into Something Platonic 

But With A Nasty Twist Called "Friends With Benefits" 

That Is Decidedly One-Sided  ... 

Until  ... The Relationship  ...Ship Sails  

... To Parts Unknown!  

And  ...!?!  

In Hindsight, And With Regret, And Sorrow

Recognizing Our Sin Against Our Soul, Our Self

And The Savior Of Us All

We, Touch-Starved  ...!  

... Did You Have To Use That Horrible Phrase, Chari!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 

And, As I Started To Say

Instead Of Going Back To Jesus

We, Stubborn, And Resistant To Truth - Just Like King Saul - 

And The Calling Of The Holy Spirit

We Turn To Yearning For What Cannot Satisfy! 

We Turn To Seeking Out Platonic Physical Contact 

Aka Contact Without Commitment 

Aka A Berth, A Work-Station In The Devil's, The Deceiver's Workshop! 

Dear God, Help Us All! 

You've Turned This Whole Platonic Physical Contact Touch-Starved Thing 

Into An Indictment Against Us! 

Yes, Youme! 

I Told You That You Wouldn't Like The Answer! 

You Did And I Don't BUT Facts Are Facts 

And Reality Bites

The Pain Of Separation Hurts

And Truth Elevates! 

So, Are We Going To Do Right And Get Your Wrong Things Righted 

So That We May Live In The Light Of Him Who Is Our Peace!?! 

Do You Remember That Song, "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul, Let Me To Your Bosom Fly!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 

Let's Sing It! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
