Problems Abase Debase Abound: Only Jesus Christ Saves!





Problems Abase Debase Abound!
From Sin To Salvation
Man, Fallen, Must Bound!
Satan Is The Liar!
Publish The Glad Sound:
Jesus Christ Is Lord And God
And
All Who Diligently Seek Him
By Him Shall Surely Be Found!

Guns, Knives, Swords
Poison Pen, Poison Pill
Human Trafficking
And
Unholy Sex 
Gives The Perverted, Corrupted Mind Myriad Thrills
And
It All Points
To The Unregenerate Heart
Which ... From The Law Of Love
Light ... Life
Many, Longing ... Seeking Self
Did, Indeed, Depart!

No Holy God:
No Love ... No Light ... No Life!
No Holy God: Look Out!
Intense Becomes The Mortal Strife!
No Holy God
And
Desperate Becomes The Need
To Destroy Self And Others
And 
Upon This Dark, Dread, Damnable, Desire
Satan Does Enjoyably Feed!

Light In The Darkness Points The Straight Way!
Darkness Covering Light
And
Men Needing Christ The Lord
Become
Uncontrollable Strays
With Black Hearts
Dark Thoughts
Seeing No Possible Escape
And
Choosing To Go With The Flow
Their Heads With Consuming Evil They Drape
And
On Hate And Destruction

They Energetically Vape!

Measure The Man!
Map The Seeking-Truth Mind!
Mind The Kind Master
And
Holy Heaven, You Shall Surely Find!

Do Not With Known Sin Consort! 
Do Not Choose On The Low Road To Recline! 
The Lord Of Life Is Calling Man To Repent:
Choose To Live
To Love
And
Wittingly Decide Your Life In Light Is To Be Spent
Because
Jesus Christ Willingly Forgives Confessed 
And 
Repented-Of Sin
And
Know And Accept That 
His Love For Us Can Never Be Consumed
Never Over-Spent! 

Enduringly, Obediently, Trust The Lord Christ
Day In ... Day Out
And 
You Will Raise The Vault Of Heaven
When With The Redeemed Of All The Ages
At The Welcome Home Banquet
In Victory You Shall Shout! 

Pass Along The Sure Word ...

Jesus Christ Always, Always, Saves! 
Believe Him At His Blood-Penned Word
And 
You Shall Be Eternally Blessed
Because
On The Accursed Cross On Mount Calvary
He Gave His Eternal Word! 

I Beseech You, Brethren 
Please Do Not Join The Doubting, Gainsaying
Disbelieving, Disobedient, Faithless, Goat Herd!

Those Who Shall Live Forever
Belong ... Not To A Lost Herd
But To The Obedient Sheep Flock
Which Resides In The Only Safe Fold!


The Lord Christ 
Is
The Only Good Shepherd
The Shepherd Of Rest!

CONVENIENCE vs NEED: Oh, To Be Rid Of Self!

Righteous Self-Denying Works 
Is 
Married To Christian Experience!
Their Marriage Is Not One Of Convenience!
It Is A Marriage Born Of Faith, Love 
Mercy, Grace 
And 
Heart-Felt Need!

Their Hearts' Desire 
Is 
To Enduringly Walk To
And
Rightfully Enter Bliss Through The Open Door!

They Are Promised A Home
- A Forever Home -
In The Eternal City
To Live Forever In The Presence Of Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
The Son Of God
The King Of Glory
The Hope Of Every Man!

You Should Be Made Aware ...

The Way To Their Wedding 
Had Not Been An Easy One!
Self Kept Interposing
Interrupting
Issuing Bilge Water And Bile
And
Attempting To Inspire Doubt
Regarding Deliverance From Sin, Self Himself
Satan, Sorrow
Death, Hell 
And 
The Never-Satisfied, Cold, Lonely, Grave!

Be Ye Warned ...

Self
The Bold, Base, Broad-Mouth, Rabid Sinner
Looks Like A Saint
Speaks As A Saint
But
Lives Undercover ... 
In The Shadows
And I
To All Intents And Purposes
A Leafy Green Fig Tree
No Good Fruit Expected!

If You Don't Understand
I'll Tell You Plainly:

Self Is A Barren Fig Tree!
He Is All Fronts And No Backs!
He Has Loads Of Foliage But No Fruit!
He Serves No Purpose To The Kingdom Of Light
And
He Is Cursed
Because
He Will Not ... Cannot
The Good King
- By His Shiftless Service -
Delight!

He Is Useless
Dried Up
And
He Will Burn Up
- Be Thoroughly Consumed -
To Become Ashes Under The Feet Of
Redeemed, Incorruptible
Immortalized
Glorified
Saints Of God And Christ

And

Believe It Or Not
Self Does Not Care!

Self Cares For Numero Uno
Selfish Selfie Self
And
He Loves It Like That!
He Has Placed The Lord Christ On The What-Not
You Are Useless But Look Good On Display
For All The World To Oooh And Ahhh Over Shelf!

Self's Prideful Position ...

He Professes Righteousness:
He Does Not Practice Or Possess It!

To Him And His Kind
The Will Of God Is What Self Wants:
The Lord Must Yield Sovereignty!

Feeding The Lord's Sheep Is Of No Concern To Him:
Sheep Are Foolish, Smelly
And
Need Too Much Shepherding!
He Has A Picture Mirror To View!

Self Knows Not The Saving Power Of Saving Grace:
His Remarks On This Are Unprintable!

As Regards Thorough Conversion Aka Changing
Self Is Very Clear That He Changed His Clothing
That. Day.
He's A Real Lost Cause!

The Facts Remain ...
  • Self Is Not Earnest!
  • Self Sees No Profit In Emulating Jesus Christ's Life!
  • To Self, Prayers Speak Of Praise Of Himself!
  • To Self, Surrendered-Will Is A Curse Word!
  • To Self, Faith Is A Fraud Perpetrated Against The Gullible!
  • Self Works For The Doubt-Meister - Satan - The Wannabe God Who Engineered The Murder Of Jesus Christ The Lord!
  • Self Will Never Enjoy The Glory Of Almighty God!
Brethren,

Only Jesus Christ Saves!
Only Jesus Christ Heals!
Only Jesus Christ Seals!
Only Jesus Christ Reveals
The Way Of Hope
The Road To Surpassing Glory
And
All Who Hold Self Aloft
Will Pay The Ultimate, Unremittingly Harsh Cost!
Please Do Not Be Amongst The Unrepentant
Selfish Lost!


Jesus Christ Already Paid Our Price!
Only Fools Choose To Pay
Unnecessary Costs!

Those In Service Of The King
Must Sacrifice Self
To Rid Their Beings Of Love For Sin!
Only Then
Will The Race For Eternal Life
Be Considered
One That They're Winning!!!!

Popular Christianity!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Help Us To Stand Firm In The Faith ...!

Popular Christianity ...!

... Bite Your Tongue!

Okay! Okay!
Christianity ... Today
- Not The Magazine -
Is Very Popular
And
Everybody And His Brother
Has Got A Piece
To The Point Where Christianity
Is 
Unrecognizable
As That Wherein Jesus Christ 
Is
King
And
Where The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Brings The Weary Soul Comfort

And
The Human Spirit, Relief!

We Have A Problem, I Fear!

We Have A Big Able Problem
And
True Believers Should Be Afraid
For
This Christianity
Is 
Full Of Feelings
Parties Dances Dinners
Inclusive Busy Work
And
Profit-Driven Contrivance
And
Totally Lacking In Primitive Godliness
The Likes Of Which
Will Make Satan's Persecution-Eye
Angrily Murderously
Vengefully
Energetically Twitch!

Christians Ain't Fulfilling The Great Commission!

They're Collection Commissions!

You Ain't Lying!

I Feel Like Crying
For The Living Word Says
All 
Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus
Shall
Suffer Persecution!

Outside Is Too, Too Quiet!

One Thing Is Certain!
Either The Word Of Truth Is A Lie
Or
Christians Called Are Sell-Outs
And
They Are Living Ungodly Lives
So ...!

... Satan Doesn't Need To Bother Them!

He's Got Them Under His Gross Thumb!

Let There Be A Revival ...!

... A Real Revival
Not The Dancehall Rubbish
That Has People Jumping And Waving
And
Twitching Like Somebody Hit Them With A Cattle Prod
Rolling On The Floor
Barking Like Dogs And Hyenas
And Making Total Tools Of Themselves...!

... I Hear You!

... Let There Be A Revival Of The Innocent-Blood Faith
Once Given To The Saints
And
The Inquisition Will Ratchet
And
Satan's Minions Will Attack It
And
Blood Will Start Flowing
Like Rivers In The Spring Thaw
And
Those Who Are Straddling The Fence
Will
- With Alacrity -
Settle Into Two Clear Camps:

Living Like Jesus By Self-Denial In The Truth
Or
Living Unlike Christ For Comfort 
And 
Convenience 
In The Lie!

Time To Sigh And Cry!
There Are Terrible Abominations In The Land
Where Even Small Children Curse The Name Of Jesus
And
The Life Giver Is Patently Denied!

2 Timothy 3!?!

You Telling Me!

Yes, Indeed!!

May The Living God Eternal
Faithful Just And True
Have Mercy Upon Us!


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, Blessed Father
Creator And Sustainer Of Mankind
Please Grant Unto Us
Your Grace
So That We May Stand Firmly
In The Faith Of Jesus
Against Our Adversary The Devil!

Father,
Help Us To Return
To The Primitive Faith
Which Saw Our Brethren Of Yesteryear
Standing Resolute Strong
Unmoveable
Unshakeable
Preferring Death
Rather Than Be False Towards
The Lord Christ!

Father,
We Are Your Children
We Are Students
In The School Of Jesus
And
We Are Your Servants!
Please Guide Our Pathway
So That Our Feet Slip Not
And
Bless Us Daily
With Ever Increasing Faith
So That We Arrive Safely
At Hill Zion
On The Day Of Your Appointing!

We Love You, Lord
And
We Bless You
Even As We Ask These Few Mercies
In The Matchless Name
Of
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Savior, Redeemer, Lord
Forever Friend
And
Soon Coming King!
We Believe The Word!
Please Reward Our Faith
As You Have - By Blood - Promised!
AMEN!

SECULAR SELF-LOVE + A Prayer Against It!




The Day Was No Different From Any Other!
In The Old People's Vernacular
I Awakened
Said My Prayers
And Brushed My Two Teeth!
After Bathroom Detail
I Had Me Some Dry Oats
And A Warm To Hot Libation
AND
Looked To Start The Day
Without
Getting Into A Nasty Fight
With. My. Self
The Old Peace-Thief!!

Too Late!

Here They Come
Polished As Can Be
Secular Self-Love
AND
Temptation ... To Sin -
Wow!
They Are Wearing
The White Gloves!

Oh, Brother!

I Know What That Means -
They're Going To Try To Finesse Me
AND
Try To Make Me Want
To My Heavenly Father
To ... Lie?!

Yup!
Here It Comes!
I Can Feel The Urge A-coming To Say:

I Love Me!
I Love Me The Best!
The World's My Oyster!
I Am No Ice-Chest!


Oh, Boy!
Today Was Getting Off To 
Another Lousy Start!

I Will Not Submit!
I Will Not Submit!

Lord, Help Me!

PRAYER:

Father,
I Need You!
Have Mercy On Me!
I Didn't Do It When I Woke Up
But
I Am Doing It Now!
I'm Freely
Willingly
Eagerly
Giving My Self To Thee!


Lord,
Save Me From My Self!
Save Me!
Save Me, Now!
My Heart Before I Humbly Bow!

Lord,
My Self Is Trying
Of Me To Take Control
And
I Want No Part Of It
So, I Am Asking You, Please
Of My Life Take Control
For
I Want Willful Self
Outside
Of My Heart's Door!


This Secular Self-Love Has For Me
Been A Total Bug-Bear
And
A Really Grand Lie
For It Pit's One Against One's Maker
Encouraging One
The Love Of God To Deny!


When Secular Self-Love
Loves My Sinful Self
I Cannot
Your Voice Hear
And
When That Happens
Temptation-To-Sin
Screams Loudly
Unashamedly
In My Poor Ear
Urging Me To Willfully Ignore You
And
To Depart From Holding You
In The Necessary Godly Fear!
This, Lord, I Can No Longer Bear!

I Hate It!

Father,
I Have Battle Scars
And
I Desire None New
So
In The Faith Of Jesus Christ
I Give Also
My Will
And
My Way Unto You!


I Am Glad To Do This, My Father
For
I Know That You Will Take Care
And
With You In Control Of My Life, Lord
I Will Not End Up
Worthless
Useless
Hard
And
To Your Blessed Kingdom
Damned-For-Eternity Discard!


Thanks, In Advance
For The Save, Lord!
I No Longer Wish To Be
To Sin
A Trussed-Up Slave
And
I Totally Accept The Salvation Purchased
When Your Beloved Son Died
So That Me And My Kind
May Be Saved!

In Jesus' Name
I Make My Humble Plea
For
I Desire
In Peace
To See Thee
On The Great And Glorious Day!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FALSE ACCUSATIONS : Overcoming

In The Face Of Accusation
It Is Normal
Even Expected
That The Human Heart Should Fear
BUT
A Christian
Accused Wrongly For Right-Doing
Should
- In Gladness -
Cheer!

Was Not Jesus The Christ
Falsely Accused?

Yes, He Was! So We Are In Good Company!

The Day Is Here
When Wrong Is Right
When Evil Is Good
When Darkness Is Light
When In The Streets
Truth
Is Cruelly Cast Down
AND
Evil Surmising's Patina
Is On Fleek!

Lord, Have Mercy On Your Children Meek!

Dear Child Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
Be Not Dismayed
At What Your Blind Eyes Doth See!
Your Body May Feel Real Pain
Your Heart May Hurt
But, Be Assured
Because
In The Eyes Of The Heavenly Father
You Are Smelling Daisies
Not Covered
Buried
In Sin's Light-Quenching Dirt!

So ...

Let Us Trust In Our Father's Provision!
Let Us Bask Beautifully In The Father's Care!
Let Us Rest Assured Of The Great Rejoicing
When 
With New Name In Hand
We Shall Celebrate In The Father's House!
In Anticipation, Let's All Say:

Hip! Hip! Hooray!

The Devil Is The Liar!
Evil Men Do His Dirty Work
BUT
Believing Ones Who
In God's Grace - By Mercy -
Do Firm Stand
Shall
In The Glad Day
With The Eternal Jesus Present
Glorify God
AND
To Heights Unknown Rise
Passing Over What We Now Call Skies!

Earth's Treats Are Sin-Battered Bitter
BUT
The Eternal God's Heavenly Treats
Are
Truly Beautifully
Salvation Sweet!

With God's Grace
Shining On Your Face
There Is Nothing
That The Devil Can Do
From God's Love
You To Displace!

Child Of God
Take Your Torments
Accept Your Lumps
AND
Bear Your Cross
In The Name Of Jesus
AND
With His Faith
You -  As An Overcomer -
Shall Bow Your Head
To Accept
Salvation's Gold Crown!

Charity Suffereth Long
AND
Is Kind!
Be Calm And Considerate
For
Your God Is Divine!
Misrepresentations Of The Faithful
Are His To Unravel
AND
False Accusers
- Always Guilty -
Will Feel
The Reverberation Of His
"You Are Guilty!"
Banging Gavel!

Rabid Sinners Gain All Now
To Lose All Later!
Obedient Saints Lose All Now
To Gain All Later!

Jesus Christ Saves
Fed-Up-With-Sin Sinners
Not
Self-Satisfied
Pretending-To-Be-Saints Saints!

When God Is Displeased!







Almighty God
Gave His Law Unto Man
Saying:


This Is My Law
Keep It In Thy Right Hand!

BUT ...

Man Was Presumptuous
Walking In His Own Way
Saying:

God Does Not See Me
I Will Run All About
And Every Which Way
I Shall Play!

God Was Displeased ...

First Came The Warnings:


You Are Not Walking In The Right Way!

Man Simply Ignored The Warnings
AND
Continued His Bad Play!

Second Came The Counsels:


You Are A Wayward Child
So I Shall Again Teach You My Ways!
Walk Faithfully In Them
And Don't Forget To Pray!

But ... Man 

Was Presumptuous
AND
Continued Walking 
In His Own Self-appointed Way!

God Was Displeased ...

And Next Came The Reproofs:


My Children, I Love You
And
You Need To Understand The Truth
That
Disobedience Has Consequences
And
I Will Not Permit You
To Run Around Unchecked
Wild And Loose!
Look To Yourselves
And Seek After Your Creator
And Change Your Ways
For 
The Time Is Soon Coming
When I Will No Longer You Reprove!

BUT ...

Stiff-necked
AND
Defiant
AND
Seeking Always To Satisfy Self
Man Became Hard-hearted
AND
Placed The Living God
On The Old Curiosity Shelf

AND ... God

In Compassion
In Love
AND
Blessed Fatherhood
Having Sent Forth Many
"Change Your Ways" Messages
In The Habit Of A Strict Disciplinarian
Stood Up

IN MERCY 

And Poured Out Real Judgments
Guaranteed To Bring The Hardest Heart
To Its Knees
Such That The Recalcitrants
Vocalized Their Great Hurts
Lamenting:


Father, This Pain Truly Hurts!
It Is More Than We Can Bear!
Forgive Us Our Trespasses!
Keep Us In Your Safe Church!
We Indulged In The Sin Of Presumption!
We Walked In Idolatrous Ways!
We Became God
And Left You As The Servant
And Our Lot Has Us Sitting
Quite Dazed!
Have Pity!
Forgive Us!
Bring Us Back Into The Fold!
We Are Your Willing Servants
And
Walking In Your Way
Is Now And Forever Our Goal!

AND ... GOD 

Forgave Them!

I Am Sure That You Know The Story!
Repentance Didn't Long Last
For
When You Mold God
Into Your Own Image
Judgment's Die
Is Known Cast!

God Forgives!
He Will Hear Us!
Call On Him 
AND
Get Your Personal Answer
Now!
Today!

So ...

Go On
AND
Give The Old Devil
The Heave Ho
AND
Watch God Bless You
As On His Business
You Diligently Go!



The Pleasing Of One's Self

Denies Us The Ability

To Please

The Holy God!
