DOUBT IS SIN : Coup In Christendom

When Preachers And Teachers
Pastors
And
Those Of Their Ilk 
Forget What Is The Way Of The Cross
They Have No Problem
Teaching That Other Gospel
To Those With Itching Ears
And
Shepherding Them Like Willful Goats
So That They
- Unrepentant Of Known Sin -
May Finally Be Consumed In The Lake That
Burns With Fire And Brimstone!

Facts ...

Apostle Peter Is A Stone!
Jesus Christ The Lord Is The Rock!
The Child That Follows After The Lord Christ
Will Have His Faith Tested
And
His Faith Will Be Tested
So That ... Ultimately ... He Will Have 
His Trust In The Lord Of Love And Life Strengthened!

Patiently Waiting On The Lord God Almighty Strengthens Man
Because
In The Lord Is Everlasting Strength!
Being Able To Say The Word 
Is Not 
Believing
And
Doing Almighty God's Will Doubtfully 
Is Not 
Proof Of Trusting!

Constant Willing Obedience 
Is 
A Daily Fruit Of Trust!
Sure Damnation 
Is 
The Final Fruit Of Unresolved, Repented-Of Doubt!
Doubt Is Sin
And
The Wages For Sin Is Death!

Repentance For Known Sin 
Causes Us In Our Daily Walk With Christ To Profit
And
Causes Satan His "Hold" On A Stolen Trophy To Lose!

Baptism Into Christ's Death
Is
Our Public Commitment To Walk With Him
Who For Our Sin Did Atone
And
Points The Way Forward
So That We May Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home!

Choices ...

The Doctrine Of Jesus Christ's Faith
Does Not Depend On Human Sight!
Jesus Christ Gives To Each Believing Human
The Measure Of Faith ... Daily
So That We Do Not Have To Walk Around Anchorless
And
Become A Living Disgrace
By Looking Back
Looking Around
- Never Looking Up To Him
From Whom Our Sure Help Comes  -
And Thereby
Earning The Judge's Frown!

The Fellowship Of The Faithful
Is
A Great Necessity
For By It We May Encourage One And Another
And
Be Comforted Though Tiresome The Trials May Be!

Like Minds Think Alike
And
Only Those Who Walk Together Agree
And
With The Congregation Of Christ's Faithful United
Strong Against The Wily Foe
By God's Grace 
And 
In Christ's Holy Faith
We Shall Truly Be!

Growth In Almighty God's Grace
Just Like Jesus Christ's Faith
Is
A Dire Necessity!
We May Come To The Lord As Known Sinners
But
As Practicing Sinners We Cannot Remain
Because
The Spirit Of Holy God Is In Us
And
Of A Truth
Blessed Change Must And Will Take Place!
Don't Look For Sensations And Feelings!

We Shall Be Saved From Sin
But
We Shall Never Be Saved In Sin
No Matter Who In Christendom Trumpets That Lying Call!

The Word Of Almighty God 
The Transcript Of His Holy Character
Is 
Unchanging
And
The Sacrifice For Sin ... Once For All Mankind
Has Already Been Made!
Victory Over Sin
Is
The Only Way ... In Our Lives
To Reverse The Curse Of The Fall!


Jesus Christ Paid It All!




Almighty God
- Offended At Sin Which Requires Death 
As The Just Punishment -
Sent His Beloved, Only Begotten, Son
To Pay The Price Of Our Individual, Personal, Sins 
To Bring Us Back Into His Loving Favor! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Let Us Not Neglect, Ignore, Refuse
Or Deny This Purchased Great Salvation
This Appeasement
This Reconciliation
This Infinite Payment For Our Sin 
Because
If We Do
We Shall Suffer ...  As Jesus Suffered 
Being Separated From His Father 
Which Is The Second Death Aka Eternal Separation! 

Salvation 
Is  
Free To All Who Choose To Take It: 
Let Not The Lord's Atoning Sacrifice For You 
Be In Vain! 
Reject The Naysayers
And
The Living In Sin Until Jesus Comes Players!
Take The Proffered Gift!
Hold On To The Extended Hand Of Love! 
Blessings Await The Believing 
Enduring, Obedient
Working, Watching, Waiting Faithful!

The Beauty Of The Lord ...!

He Had No Form Or Comeliness
That One Should Desire Him
But Within
Is 
The Beauty Of The Lord
And

We Are To Become Like Him!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance
But, God
God Looks Ever At The Heart
And This Should Make Our Task Clear
And

From His Ways
We Should Never Depart!

Beautiful Skin ...

Outward Beauty Is Skin Deep!
Against A Quiet And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law!
Outward Beauty
Having Flaws
Fades
But

Inner Beauty
Is 
The Perennial Joy To Behold
For
The Spirit Of The Lord Indwelling
Makes The Heart ... Gold!

The Beauty Of The Lord

Is
His Character:
His Love 
His Joy
His Peace
His Rest
His Grace
His Faith
His Mercy
His Giving 
His Forgiving 
His Blessing Spirit 

His Heart
His Holiness


Beautiful Savior ...

The Savior
Is
Not Beautiful 
To Those Who See No Profit
In The Gifts That He Bears! 

The Savior Is Not Seen As Beautiful
Because
Their Eyes Are Blinded
By Ephemera
And

Their Ears Blocked To Loving Entreaty
So That They Don't Believe
The Goodness That He Shares!

The Fact Of The Matter ...

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder!
Beauty Is By Utility!
If I Don't See A Purpose
That Adds To
Aka Blesses Me
Then Your Beauty
To Me
Is Sheer Futility!
You Serve No Purpose!

Such, Then
Is 
The Christ
To Those With The Spirit Of
The Scribes And The Pharisees
The Jewish Leaders
And
The Disciple Turned Traitor Judas
In The Time When Jesus Walked The Earth!

The Proud Were Looking For A Bright King
A Caped Conqueror!
A Loud Leader!
A Lavish Lord!

They Got, Instead
A Calm Commoner
A Helpful Healer
A Teaching Preacher
A Ready Feeder
A Spirit-Filled Crusader
A Change Agent
Who Did Their Hopes Dash
Because, Because, Because
He Wasn't Into Power
And

He Had No Bright Baubles
AndHe Wasn't Slinging The Ready
Aka The Cash!

They Were Spiritual Prostitutes!
Jesus Christ Rejected The Position Of Pimp!

Ergo ...

There Was No Meeting Of The Minds
And

There Was The Drawing Of The Battle Lines!

Swords Were Drawn!
Axes Were Ground!
And
Demons On A Mission
Amongst The Brethren
Were More Than A Few
And
The Lamb ... Silent
Was Slaughtered
In Time
And

On Cue!

However ...

Those Who Looked
Who Longed
For His Appearing
Saw His Sacrifice
And
Cried!

Those Who Looked Not For Him
But Another
Gnashed Their Teeth
And
Adroitly Lied!

Know This For Sure ...

At Time's Coming End 
There Will Be No Fence-Riders
No Hangers-Ons
No Drugged-Out Groupies
And

Only Those Who Love The Marred Face
Hands Feet
And

Spear-Imprinted Side
Will Be Rejoicing!
Everybody Else
Will Be Looking To Hide!


Jesus Christ
Loves His Little Children
And

He Perfumes
Every Heart-Felt Prayer
With
The Fragrance Of Innocent Blood
Spilt
And
Packaged
In
Redeeming Love!



Brethren ...

Almighty God
Looks Not At Our Outward Appearance
So
How About Our
Taking A Verse From The Good Book!
How About Our
Taking A Bold Look At His Heart
And

Then Bidding Sin
Self
And

Satan
From Our Hearts
To Depart!?!

Is Jesus Christ
The Righteous One
** Beautiful **
In. Your. Eyes!?!

*******

Dear Jesus,
Just A Short Note To Say:

You Fill My Eyes!
I Love You!

Yours, Always
Your Child Well-Beloved

PRAYER: What I Desire Of Almighty God






I Desire Of You, Dear Father
Shoes With Soles
Suited To The Terrain
Found
On The Narrow Road!

Grant Me, Father
A Suit Of Clothing
Manufactured Of Your Holy Hand
Which Will
In The Fullness Of Time
Grant Me Entrance
Into The Holy Land!

Grant Me,  Lord
Eye-salve
Out Of Heaven's Stores
Providing Healing For Weary Eyes
Longing For True Sight To Be Restored!

Grant Me Funds,  Father
Finance For My Travels Through Life
And Along The Lonely Road
Coins Of Your Mintage
Tried And Tested Pure Gold!

Grant Me,  Lord
That New Heart
Promised In Your Word
For With The Spirit's Leading
I Will To My Old Heart
Be As The Dead!

And,  Lord
In All Of My Asking
And All Of Your Willing Giving
Give Me Hands That For You Work
And Wisdom
And Understanding
Grace
Instruction
Peace
Rest
Hope For The Grand Tomorrow
Grace For Weary Today
Love For My Jesus
Willingness To Obey
Joy In The Presence
Fidelity So That I Will Not From You Stray
Oh, And By The Way, Father
Keep Satan Out Of My Way
But
If He Is There As A Challenge For My Growth
Help Me,  Lord, To In Living Faith Say:

Satan
The Holy Book Says That 
You Are A Liar
And A Murderer, Too!
Get Thee Behind Me
Foul Fiend
My Lord, The Christ - Jesus 
Has Already For Me Conquered You!

Just As My Jesus Has About Himself To You Stated
You Have No Part In Me
And
There Is A Prepared Place In Holy Heaven For Me
And Sadly
Nary A One ForYou!

As For Me
I Hallow
Trust And Hope In My Jesus
And
I Heed The Spirit-Inspired Living Word!
I've Entry Into The Holy City You Gave Up
And I Choose To Walk With The Living Holy God
And Not Lying Deceitful
Unholy You!

Get Thee Hence, Satan!
My God Is Living - Not Dead!
Jesus Christ Is Alive
And
Because Of His Spilt Blood
I Am By The Father
Mercifully And Diligently
Daily Fed!

And, Father
Lest I Should Upon Occasion Forget
Please Remind Me, Dear Lord
That I Have Given My Self
And My Way
Deliberately
Over To You
So That You Will 
Continue To Lead Me
Ever On The Straight And Narrow Way!

I Love You Lord!
AMEN.
