HAPPY SABBATH +CHARITY: Love And Truth Intertwined!


Happy Sabbath – rest | Immanuel Temple




Talk Is Cheap When You Don't Have To Pay Taxes On Your Words
But
Cheap Talk Will Prove To Be Very Expensive
When ... Before The Judge Of All Flesh
We Must Give A Detailed Accounting For
All Our Useless Words! 

I May Say That I Love You! 
I May Give You A Charitable Donation
But
I Am Only Doing It To Get The Tax Deduction
The Press Coverage 
And
Man's Applause
Which ... Combined
Is
A Totally Wasted, Therefore Useless, Transaction
In The Holy God's All-Seeing 
All-Knowing, Ever-Present Holy Eyes
My "Love" Doesn't Bear Load 
And
It Doesn't Excrete Sweat:
It Doesn't Cost Me Anything!

Think On This Thing ... 

Charity Is Love
And
Love Speaks Truth! 
Love And Truth Are Intertwined
- Irretrievably Wrapped Up In Each Other - 
And 
Walk Amongst Men As One! 

Sadly, Many Of Us Act As Though 
Love And Truth Are To Be Prostituted For Pleasure
Sacrificed For Societal Elevation
And
Extended And Withdrawn 
As And How The Winds Of Change Do Blow!

Beloved, 

Love ... Heavenly, Abiding, Love
Is 
On The Job
Has One Job
And 
Performs That Job Always And Unfailingly!
Jesus Christ's Love For Us Produced Blood And Water:
He Gave His All For The Love Of Us All! 

The Word Works ... 

We Represent Heavenly Love
Salt
And 
Light On This Earth 
And 
We Are To Love Others Even As Jesus Loves Us:
Jesus Didn't ... Doesn't ... Give Us Any Short Rations! 

Let Us All In Christian Charity
- In Love And With Love For Our Lord Christ - 
Pray For The Holy Spirit's Outpouring 
And
Indwelling 
To Be On And In Us 
Empowering Us To Love All Our Brethren
Even The Unlovely
The Unlovable
The Unkind 
And 
The Ungrateful 
- As We Once Were - 
And 
Bless Us To Look Beyond Their Faults 
And 
Recognize Their Unvoiced Need 
And
Fill It ... As The Sweet Spirit Of Truth Impresses
Without The Theatrical Presentations
The Media Coverage
The Quid Pro Quo Aka Something For Something Show

We Are Christians
- Christ's Followers-  
With A Published Work To Do
So Let's Set Aside Self 
And 
Fervently Pray
And 
Do A Work Of Love ... Today! 
Let's Please The Lord Christ ... Today! 
Let's Love In Truth ... Today!

Charity Work Or Charity Show?!





Charity Fuheffect
AND
N. Jesus Name
Were
- Polar Opposites -
Doing The Same Work!

See A Need!
Fill A Need!
AND
Move On
Was Their Mission
AND
They Performed Admirably
BUT
With One Huuuge Difference!

The First Time It Happened
It Was Considered An Aberration!

The Second First Time The Difference Appeared
It Was Felt That It Was
A Call To Arms ... To Others
To Get Additional Help!

The Second Second Time It Happened
Which Was Really The Actual Third Time It Happened
Wha' Gine On-Dey
Open He Mout'
AND
Had Something To Say:

Cohr-rect Me ... Eef I Am Whrrong
BUHT
Is Not It Stipulated That
Works Of Charity
Be AUHN The Down Low?!
Eef So ... WHHY Then
Is Charity On Blast
On The Prime Time TV Show?!

Ahem! Ahem!

May I Offer You A Mint?!

No! No!
I Am Quite Fine!

Is There Something On Your Mind?!
Is There Something Which You Feel You Must Say?!

Sir,
No Disrespect Intended
BUT
Who Is Charity?!
Whom Did You "Hire!"
What Is Her Last Name?!
You Do Know That From The Bright Lights
She Will Not Retire?!

What Are You Getting At?!

Don't You Know?!

Know What?!

What, Pray Tell, Is Charity's Last Name?!

It Is Fuheffect!

Wrong! Wrong! Dead Wrong!

Light! Light! Give Me Light!

Charity's Last Name Is Not Fuheffect!
It Is For-Effect!

For Effect.
For Effect.
Charity FOR Effect!
Merciful Powers!
This Is Not Good!
We Are Are Not Pharisees!
We Do Not Do Works Of Charity
Just For Worldly Show!
This Does Not The Master Please!

Our Charity Is To Bless The Lord
By Blessing Those In Need!
We Do Not Ever Do This Work
Our Gluttonous Ego To Feed!

The Living God Is Our Paymaster!
He Sees All That We Do
He, Himself, Said:

Do Your Labor Of Love In Secret!
I Will Owe You
And
The Lord Who Sees All In Secret
Will Publicly Reward You!

Sir,
Charity For-Effect
Was Reprimanded Before
But
Bright Lights Camera Action
Are Things That Make That Heart Soar
For Approbation Of Man
Approval Of Like-Minded Men
Back Pats
And Good Words
Are What Make
Charity For-Effect's Head Bulge And Swell!

Well, It Will Also Make 'em See
Feel Hell!

Later That Day ...

Charity For-Effect
Was Summarily Terminated
AND
N. Jesus Name
Took Over Doing The Good Work!

All Is Peaceful Now ... For The Time Being!
The Work Is Progressing Apace
AND
In The Book Of God's Remembrance
Pages Are Filling
With Works Of Kindness
Charity
Blessing 
AND 
Comfort
For
N. Jesus Name
Honors The Holy God
For Whom He
- In Quietude -
Tirelessly Works!
There Are - For Him - Heavenly Perks!
