Self-Utilized Backbone Required!




The Newest Growing Trend In Popular Culture 
Is 
To Place The Onus, The Duty, Upon Others 
To Be Your Personal Backbone 
To Stop You 
From Giving In To The Unbridled Lusts Of Your Flesh 
By Depriving Others Of Their Own Rights Of 
Self-Determination! 

Beloved, 

Being Temperate Aka Having Personal Self-Control
Knowing When Enough Is Sufficient 
And
Accepting "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
All Make For The Perfect Deterrent 
No Matter What "Difficulty" We May Face! 

Think About It ...

 Sin Abounds! 
The Moral Law 
And 
The Health Laws Are Available 
And 
We Are Encouraged To Make Good Use Of Them!
 
The Lord Jesus Could Have Removed Sin 
And
Temptation From Our Presence: He Didn't! 

Jesus Christ ... The Righteous Judge ... Simply Says

 
Exercise My Gift To You Of Daily Faith 
And
Use My Commandments For You 
As Your Sure Hedge Of Protection 
And
You Won't Choose To Sin! 

See! 
Self-Utilized Backbone Is Required! 


To Willfully Commit Sin Is Not An Accident!
Living By Sinning Is A Personal Choice!

**--**--**--**--**

Being Tempted Is Not A Sin!
Yielding To Temptation Is Sin!

Life Is Amazing! 
Self-Deception Is Mind-Boggling! 
Refusing To Take Responsibility 
For Your Own Self-Willed Actions 
Is 
The Mark Of A Lazy Mind In A Self-Absorbed Person! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Alone 
Stand Alone 
Before Christ Alone 
To Answer For Your Own Life 
In The One Judgment! 

One Life To Live Is Your Lot: 
Deal With It! 

Use Your Gift-From-God Tools!


Find Your Peace In The Lord!

DON'T YIELD: Temptation Is Common To Man!



1 Corinthians 10:13 Inspirational Image

Satan Can't Make Us Do Anything
So Please Remember These Four Words: 


  • Common Temptation
  • Faithful God
  • Ability To Endure, And 
  • Way Of Escape

We Are Encouraged By The Living Word 
To Believe The Living Word: Temptation Will Come 
But
Please Don't Sin By Accepting The Temptation As A Fait Accompli 
Because 
Our God ... Unfailingly Trustworthy
And
Willingly Trusted By Us
Will Provide A Way Out For Us! 
Innocent Blood Paid For Our Saving Grace!

We Hope In God: Hope Involves Patience
And
Patience Has A Perfect Work To Do In Us 
So That We Will Show No Lack In The Judgment! 

Pay Attention ... 

Yielding To Common, Pedestrian, Known Temptation 
Is 
Sin! 

Temptation Is A Parasite! 

Parasites Are Common 
And 
Prayer And The Living Word 
Are The Known And Obvious Cure! 

Beloved, 

We Will Be Tempted ... And Tried 
As Was Our Lord Jesus 
And
Just As He Did
We Must Emerge As Gold 
Fittingly Dressed To Go Home To Our Father's House! 

The Lord Has A Thousand Ways To Save Us 
But 
In The Hour Of Temptation
We Only Need One:
Please Let The Eternal Word Save You! 

Remember ... 

Strong Holy Angels Surround Us! 
The Holy Spirit Guides Us Who Are Willing To Be Guided 
And
"Lord, Save Me!" 
Is 
A Prayer: Don't Ever Forget It! 

Thank God For Jesus!
With Our Hand In His Hand, We Will Not Go Wrong! 

Indeed! 
He Is The Good, Kind, Faithful
Blessing, Giving 
And 
Forgiving God: 
We Are Covered In And By His Sacrificial Love! 
Blessed Be The Sovereign God!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: I'd Rather Be A Plant ...!







I'd Rather Be A Plant
In The Garden Of God
Than To Be A Dried Flower
In The Great Temples Of Man Flawed!
I Rather Be Pruned
By The Hand Of The Living God Of Love
Than To Be Polished
By The Hand Of The Devil In Brilliant White Gloves!

Pity Us, Father
Who Run To Earthly Prosperity!
Pity Us, Father
Who Believe That
Running Wild Is Freedom
From Jesus Christ's Loving Captivity!
Have Mercy On Us
Who To The Wilderness Run
Seeking The Lightness
Of Christ's Holy Face So Divine For A Moment Of Fun!

Lord, Pity Us
Who Will Not Your Preserved Word Read
Preferring Copyrighted Bibles
That Cater To Man's Every Lust-Confirming Felt Need!
Help Us, Dear Lord
To Set Aside Self
And
Seek After Almighty God
Who Offers Us Eternal Life
As A Heavenly Reward!

Lord, Help Us To Keep Our Eyes Free
Of Motes And Beams!
Keep Our Hands Out Of Sin
And
Render Them Upright And Clean!
Please Keep Us Living Right
So That Our Feet Don't Run To Mischief Today
And
Keep Our Hearts Willing
To Do Whatever You Say!

Please Keep Our Ears Open
Ever Able To Hear The Spirit's Call!
Keep Our Minds Sheltered
So That We Won't For
The Rhetoric Of Satan Dressed As Man Fall
And
Please Help Us To Hold Up
The Shield Of Christ's Faith
So That The Fiery Darts Of The Devil
Won't Find On Our Weak Bodies
An Available Dwelling Place!

Lord, Please Help Us
In You
Without Worldly Fear To Stand
For We Desire 
By Your Grace
To Be Borne Away To Glory Land
Surrounded
By The Happy Angel Band!

Oh, Lord, Let All Be Well ... With Our Souls
In Jesus' Holy Name
For We Do Love You!
Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers!
AMEN.

Intellectual Dishonesty Destroys The Unwary Christian



Why Do We Uplift Christ's Christianity
AND
Downgrade Christ's Laws?

Is It Because Our Vaunted 
Gazetted Intellect
Knows That Christ's Known Desires For Mankind
Contains What Educated Men Call Flaws?

I Beseech You,  Brother Sister
Pray Once 
Pray Twice
AND
Pray Once More Again
For
Modern Christianity's Proclivity
Toward An All-Inclusive Christianity
Which Condones
AND
Celebrates Sin
AND
The Dreaded Practice Of The Blind Guides Calling 
Active Known Sin "Good!"
Which Is By Almighty God Called "Evil!"
For This Very Practice
Will Assuredly Lead To The Prophesied 




This Very Act Will Exclude Them 
From The Glory-Day Celebration
But
Include Them In The Burning 
Executed By
The Eternal Judge!




An Educated Palate 
So-called 
Used For Judging Fine Food and Fine Wine
Is Not For Man's Judging
Or Re-imagining
The Holy Words Of
God Almighty - The Divine
Whose Eyes Have No Need For Glasses
Whose Ears Have No Need For Aids
AND
Whose "Well Done!"
Of Commendation
Is Not For Those Who Choose
To The Flesh
To Be An Overtime Wage-Earning Slave!

All Men Sin!
Yes,  I Sin,  Too
BUT
Like King David
I Know That I Am A Sinner ... Willing To Be Saved




I Know How To Pray
And Sing
And Confess Sin
And Repent
AND
ASK
For Forgiveness
From
The Living Loving Holy God, Too
For




I Don't Go To God
With The Attitude
That He "Does Not Get My Plight!"




I Go To God
Appealing
Pleading
For Help
To Win The Battle Which
Against Carnality
I Must
Daily Fight!

Please ... Go To God!

The Bible Says Plainly:




That Jesus Christ Did Not Have To Overcome!




Take A Second
A Minute
An Hour
A Day OR Two
Or A Lifetime
AND
THINK 
What THAT Means
To For Me AND To For You!

Holy Writ Says:





Think Also
What THAT Means
For Those Who Believe In
AND
Trust God,  Mighty To Save!

Almighty God IS Still God
The Same Yesterday
TODAY
AND
FOREVER!
There Is No Shadow Of Turning!
He IS The God Upright!


Won't You Trust In The Lord Jesus Christ?


When You Hurt He Cries!

What Price Sin?





We Commit Sin
AND
We Blame God
For Having Too Many Rules!

We Commit Sim
Because It Tastes Good
AND
Then We Blame God When We Get Cavities!

We Commit Sin
Enjoying The Sleigh Ride
AND
Then Blame God
When Sleigh-Here
And Sleigh-There Collide
AND
We Can No More Enjoy The Free Ride!

We Commit Sin
AND
When He Who Would Abide
Confronts Us
We Become Snide
AND 
Puffed Up With Pride
AND
Walk Away Hurt
Looking For A Rock Under Which We May Hide!

We Commit Sin
BUT
Sin Does Not Pay!
Sin's Costs
Are Wide And Deep
And Even Though There Has Been Repentance
Leave Scars
AND 
Consequences  ... steep!



Committing Sin Does Not Pay!
Pray For Deliverance!
Pray!
Pray!
PRAY!

AND

He That Is Called Comforter 
Will With You
Stay!

Pray For Your Comfort ...

TODAY!

Prayer: Give Me Grace


Lord, there is The Great Shaking Coming -
Please give my Heart some Relief
Help me to Stand Ever Victorious
 When Faced by Evil, Strife, and The Troubler-in-Chief!

Help me to Stand Firm in Your Precepts
Help me not to Hold on to Worldly Conceits and Receipts
Help me to Stand Fast in The Faith of Jesus
Not Afraid of that Wicked Soul Thief!

Give me The Promised Grace, Dear Lord, I Beseech You
Grant me Strength to Hold on to 
Your Peace, Dear Lord, I Pray
Bless me, Lord - Help me to be Victorious 
I am Your Child, and 
I would have it to be No Other Way!
I Love You, Lord.
AMEN.
