"Lapsed" Into Sin!
Planned Sin aka Iniquity
Which Is A Real Problem
Because
One Can Turn Away From The Obvious!
Let's Start With
Be Careful Ye That Think Ye Stand ... Lest Ye Fall

King David Poured Out
His Whole Heart
In Praise And Adoration

And He Had Even Put His Life On The Line

- Goliath Of Gath -
As His Proof Of Love His Lord!

King David Reacquainted Himself With His God
In The Agony Of Repentance

Bottom Line ...
King David Truly Loved God
BUT ...
The Wandering Lust In His Eye
Motivated By The Puffed-Up Pride In His Life
Lubricated By The Biting Lust Of His Flesh
Blinded Him
To The Light Of Life
AND
He Blinked
AND
Lost
His Link To Redeeming Love!

Thankfully, Though ...
Upon Being Severely Chastised
AND
Being Made Aware Of His Sure Punishment
King David's Godly Sorrow For Sin
ANDConfession Of Error
AND
Repentance For Wrongdoing
- With Real Tears Of Contrition -
Caused The Cleansing His Eyes
AND
The Restoration Of His Sight
So That - Again -
He Could See The Light Of Life!
AND
He Held On
- Never Again To Let Go -
To His Soul's Savior
The Very Savior
That Christians Today
Are Interpreting
Reinterpreting
Reinventing
Remolding
Recasting
AND
Casting Out Of Christ's Christianity!

There Is One Living God!

Since We Need Mercy
That Obviously Means That There Is Justice!
Since There Is Justice
That Obviously Means There Is Sin (Crime)!
Sin Transgresses God's Law
BUT
The God Of Love
IS
Also The God Of Mercy
AND
Sorrowful Repentance
- Not Excuses
- Not Small Man-Made Plasters On Festering Wounds
Will Bring Us Reconciliation
To The Almighty
All-Knowing
Always Present
Can't-Be-Surprised

The Problem, Though ...
Modern Christianity
Does Not Hold With
Acknowledging Sin
Unto Confession
Unto Repentance
Unto Reconciliation
Unto Promised
AND
Sure Salvation
By Righteousness Aka Right Living
AND
Walking With God By Faith
AND
That Is Why
Conversion
Reconversion
Is An Issue For Today
AND
Why So Many Christians
Contentedly Say:

AND
Why So Many Christians
Contentedly Say:
Many Men!
Many Minds!
Let's Be Kind
And
Lift Up The Common Good
Because
Our God Who Made Us
Has Always
Our Mere Men Ways
Understood!
It's All Good!
May The Only True God
Save Us
From Our Sinful Selves!
Every Individual
Needs A Committed
AND
Personal Relationship
With
The Only Living Holy Saving Redeeming God
Who Can Remake Us
In His Own Holy Image
Despite What The Doctors Of The Church
Adhering To The Traditions Of Men
Now Say!!
