VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Saving Grace!

I Don't Want To Be A Man Smart ... And Abused!
I Desire To Be A Man By Almighty God Blessed
AND
In His Service
Used!
Can't You SEE the Difference!

Sure, I Can!
I SEE That You're An Idiot!
Who Cares About Being "Abused"
When One Is Getting Rich, Rich, Rich!?!

Fellows, I Get The Impression That
You Two Are Speaking About Different Things!

Indeed, We Are!

I, Samuel Petty Cash Steele, Want To Be Rich ... Now!
I Work Hard ... Now!
I Live ... Now!
AND, FURTHERMORE
I Ain't Got No Tomorrow Put Down
Like Certain Unnamed People!

Hear, Hear!
I'm With You!

Well ... Since You're So Emphatic
I, Garrulous Field Saint Saved
Desire With My Whole Heart
To Be Rich IN Christ Jesus!

Momentary Temporal Riches
Will Be Lost, Stolen
AND
Will Eventually Burn!

I Can Totally Do Without That Heat
AND
I Will
Because Jesus Christ Is My Shield!

Preach, Brother! Preach!

Yada, Yada! Garrie Got An Upstairs Father!

You May Scoff All You Want!
The Truth Is The Truth!
I Learned It At My Mother's Knee
AND
It Has Stayed Me!

I Choose
I Chose
To Experience Jesus Christ For Myself
AND
I Know Of A Surety
That He Is No Xmas Elf!

Anyone Feel A Sermon Coming On?!

Yes, I Do And I'm Glad For It!

Say On, Saint!

My Mum Taught Me About Jesus
But, Then
I Ran Around With The Hip Crowd
AND, SOONI Was In Soul Trouble
For
Of My Press I Was Very Proud
Until ...!

... One Day!

Yup!
One Fateful Day!

We Know!
The Date With Destiny!
Your Mortality Showed That
Your Lived Life Was A Bold Lie!

You Telling Me!!

Been There! Done That!
Got The Experience
The Scars
The Tee Shirt
AND
The Story To Tell To The Nation!

Heyyyy!
What's With You Christians?!
Do You All Always Have A Story To Tell
About Your Jesus
About Your Life
Your Salvation
Your Hope
The Truth For The Ages
Your Blessings
Your Peace
Your "Glorious" Heavenly Home
Your Joy In Jesus!?!

All Together Now ...

YESSS!!!

Wow!!

How Do You People Survive
Swimming Against The Prevailing Tide?!
Don't You Want To Be Rich Now!

We Are Rich Now!
We Have An Inheritance ... To Look Forward To
A Mission To Accomplish
A Crucible To Get Through
A Hope
A Help
Mercy
Grace
Faith
AND
Salvation In The Beloved Son!

We Are Never Alone
AND
For The Record
This Earth Is Not Our Home!
It Is Our School!

Now, That's Rich!!

We Know!!!

No, You Don't!
I Was Being Sarcastic!!

We Know!!!

Lord, I Give Up On These People!

I Didn't Realize You Knew The Lord!?!

I Don't!

So Why Did You Call His Name?!

I Didn't! It's Just A Word!

No, It Isn't!

Jesus Christ, The Lord
IS
Our Maker
Our Savior
Our Redeemer
Our Friend! 

He Is The Almighty God
AND
It Is He Who Knows All Hearts
Be Ye Humble Saint Or Proud Sinner!

You Just Said All Hearts!

All Hearts!
Jesus Christ Knows
All The Thoughts
AND
All The Intents Of Man's Heart!

All?!

All!!!

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick?!

Why?!
What Did You?!
What Are You Doing?!
What Were You Planning To Do?!

You DON'T Want To Know!

You Can Tell Jesus!
He Sacrificially Cares You!

I Know THAT!!

So, What IS The Problem!?!

I Planned And Plotted
Schemed And Connived
Swindled And Back-Raised
AND
I Have A Boat-Load Of Money
AND
Toys And Pleasures Beyond All Reason
AND
I Am Miserable And Miserly
AND
My Soul Is About To Be Char-Baked
AND YET
Everything Truly Worth Buying
Even Begging For ...!

... IS FREE!!!

... And Free Just By Praying And Believing!

... And Loving And Trusting!

Let's Not Forget Faith And Obedience ...!

... The Deal-Breaker!

The Deal-Breaker That Always Plagued Me!

Steele, Without Faith
It Is Impossible To Obey
AND
Please The Living God!

I Know That, Too!
Full Circle I Have Come!

Jesus Christ Cares
And He Also Truly Saves, 'Tis True ..!

So
Isn't It About Time
That You Depart Rebellion
And To His Desires
With Finality
Now Cave?!

I Know That!
Problem Is
I Am Ashamed
For
To Sin
I Have Been The Willing, Perfect, Slave!

Shall We Tell Him?!

Yes, Let's!

All That The Lord Does
For Us And In Us
IS
Well Done!

OUR RESPONSE 
Should Be:

Yes, Lord! 

Thank You, Lord!

Amen!

I'm Telling The World!

Just So!?!

Just So!!!

You Know What?!

What?!

I Want In On That Deal!!

Thank You, Jesus!!!

Yes!
I Believe A Spot Just Opened
On My Formerly Busy Schedule
AND
I Have Time To Have A Lil' Talk With Jesus!

He Makes Wrong Things Right!

PRAYER:

Jesus, Savior

Pilot Me!

From Sin To Salvation

Please Direct Me!

I Have Been A Wastrel

Vile And Lost!

Please Forgive Me For Forgetting

The Great Price To You

That My Sin Cost!

....

I Believe He's Going To Make It!

Indeed, Brother!

Indeed!
