VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: TRUST TRUTH: Be Willingly Obedient!




Serving The Lord 
Is 
All About Our Attitude! 

The Lord, Your God And King, Sent You On A Mission 
And
You Have Thoughts! 

You Behave Like Prophet Jonah 
And 
You Refuse To Go On The Mission 
Until A Whale Convinced You 
And
You Still Had Words For The Lord! 

You Behave Like Prophet Balaam 
And 
You Go On A Side Mission Against The Will Of God 
And
A Talking Ass Had To Give You The Heads-Up! 

You Willingly Go On The Mission 
Like General Moses And Apostle Paul 
And
All Is Well With Your Soul! 
Attitude Determines Outcome! 

Beloved, 

Is The Holy Spirit Running Your Life 
Or Are You The Controller!?! 

Is Jesus Christ Your Lord And God 
Or Are You A False God!?! 

Be Wise For Your Self ... 

Trust Truth! 
Follow Faith! 
Faithfully Trust Truth 
And
Trustingly Follow Truth Faithfully! 

Dear Ones, 

Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship: 
Who Are You Worshipping!?! 

Who Are You Obeying!?! 

Jesus Christ Saves The Willing
The Obedient
The Faithful
The Trusting
And 
The Truthful 
So Dare And Do The Required Calculations 
To Plainly Show Yourself 
Who Shall Enter The Heavenly Kingdom
The Eternal Home Of The Forever Blessed! 

Do You Need An Attitude Adjustment!?! 
Why!?! 

What Kindness Will Encourage You To Stop Straying From 
The Father's Safe Fold!?! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Choose To Go To Our Father 
And 
Humbly Ask For Your Known-Available Help! 

If You Don't Ask
You Will Never Know
What The Lord Can Do For You!

Peace!

Don't Work For PIG-Corp.!

 







We Are To Work Until Jesus Christ Comes! 
Everything That We Do Should Be Done To The Glory Of God! 

With This Said
And 
With The Elders Having Persistently Warned Us That 
The Devil Finds Work For Idle Hands
We Cannot, Therefore, Sit Around Engaged In Idleness
Eating Like Food Is Going Out Of Style
And 
Puffing Up Our Over-Stuffed Stomachs With Satanic Pride
And 
Feel Pleased With Our Non-Accomplishments! 
How Special! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 
Be Vigilant! 
Be Circumspect! 

Please Don't Go To Work For PIG-Corp.! 

Pride, Idleness, And Gluttony Are Nothing To Embrace
Brag About
Or Espouse!  

The Lord, In Mercy Upon Us Over Our Wretched Estate
Gave Unto Us The Blessed Gift Of Work! 

Please Do Not Let Us Play Word Games 
And 
Make The Living Word Of The Eternal God A Lie 
By Saying That Whatever We Find To Do
We Should Do It With All Of Our Might! 

Our Saving Work
Our Honest Labor
Is 
That Which The Lord Will Bless NQA 
Aka No Questions Asked! 

Rahab Started Her Career As A Harlot: 
She Restarted It As A Servant Of God 
And 
Ended It As The Ancestor Of Our Own King Jesus! 

Pharisee Saul Was A Murderer 
Who Became The Apostle Paul
A Prolific Writer, Preacher, Teacher
And 
Ultimate Martyr For Jesus! 

Christians Are Called Servants Of Christ: 
How Are You Serving Your Lord Today!?! 

We May Be Proud Of Our "Pleasant" Work 
But 
Will Our Savior, The King Of Glory
The Judge Of All Flesh
Be Pleased!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It! 

Peace!

Build A Beautiful Brain






Your Brain Isn't Actually A Muscle 
But 
It's Always Getting A Workout! 
We Train Our Brains!

Muscles Must Be Exercised 
If 
They Are To Strengthen And Grow 
And 
Remember What They Have Been Or Are Being Taught! 

Muscles Have Memory 
And
This Is Why We Are Able To Do Things 
Without Having To Forcefully "Think" About 
What We Are Going To Do! 
Trained Muscles Know! 

Beloved, 

With What Are You Exercising Your Mind!?! 
With What Bad Habit Are You Bulking Up Your Brain That 
Is Now Taking Over 
And
Disrupting Your Life!?! 
Is Your Brain-Training Showing!?!

The Apostle Paul Instructed Young Timothy 
To Study To Show Himself Approved By God
A Workman That Wouldn't Need To Be Ashamed! 

Is There A "Muscle" In Your Mind Juiced-Up On Steroids 
Aka Bad Medicine That 
Is 
Causing You To Think, Say, And Do Things 
Which Our Lord Christ Can Never Approve!?! 

We Have In The Lord Christ An High Priest Who 
Is 
Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Short-Comings And Sicknesses Which Drop Us To Our Knees
And 
He Says To Us All: 

Come Boldly ... As You Are
To The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy
And
Grace ... Favor ... Power 
To Help You
In Your Time Of Need! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Be Not Proud, Arrogant, Lawless
Or A Man-Pleaser ... Self-Deluded! 

Please Acknowledge That There Is A Problem
Call It By Its Given Name 
And
Get Thee Hence To Jesus Christ The King
And 
Humbly Give It To Him! 
Do Not Be Ashamed:
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Build A Beautiful Brain
A Marvellous Mind
With The Blessed Exercise Plan 
Easily Found In The True Words Of Almighty God 
Which Speak Love, Life, And Liberty! 

Peace!

What Do You See!?!

... And It Was All Because Of A Misspelt Word!

That's An Interesting Concept!

Filth 
  Fail
    Faith

It's Actually Quite Amazing!

The Filth Of Sin
Causes Us To Fail At Life
But, Then
With Jesus Christ's Words Of Truth ... Longingly Accepted
- Lovingly Enshrined In The Heart -
We End Up Utilizing His Daily Gift To Us
Called ... Faith
And
The Promised Gift Of Eternal Life ... By Endurance
Is 
Received!

FAILTH!
What A Word!

This Is Worthy Of Further Examination!

Indeed!

This Is What I Can See Coming Out Of That "Word:"

We Ail Because Of, And Because We, Sin!
We Halt Between Two Opinions Because Of The Sin Of Doubt! 
We Know That Fat Is Synonymous With Sin
But
Glory Be To The God Of All Grace
We Can Hail The King Of Glory
And
For Our Belief In The Living Words
And
Our Total Acceptance Of The Truth Aka Jesus Christ
We Are Accepted In The Beloved!

We Become The Children
The People Of Almighty God!

And Let's Not Overlook The Lift That We Receive
When We Set Aside Self And Sin
And
Accept That Jesus Christ Saves And Blesses Us
Because 
He Loves Us Sacrificially
And
Died To Save Us From The Cost Of Our Own Sin!

Indeed!
We Must Remove That Hat!

With Jesus
We Cannot Go The Alt Aka Alternative Way!
The Way Of Jesus Is The Strait, Straight, Way!
No Turning To The Left!
No Turning To The Right!
No Looking Back!
No Turning Back!
No Turning Aside ... To Fables!

Onward And Upward Into Truth!

Jesus Christ Saves And...!

... With Anyone Else, We Lose!

We Must Trust Him Who Died To Save Man
And
Discard All Doubting, Guessing, Gainsaying
And
Hold On To The Extended Hand
If 
We Will To Live 
In The Heavenly Land!

I Love The Lord
His Nail-Scarred Hand
His Riven Side
His Thorn-Pierced Brow
His Willingness To Suffer
And
For Me And My Kind To Bleed
And
For This Gift Of Love Alone
And
By His Holy Hand
I Am Determined That I Shall Daily Plant Productive Seed!

Remember Apostle Paul!

Indeed!

In The Kingdom Of Truth And Light
At The Lord's Banqueting Table, I Shall Feed!

Brothers, Sisters,
It Is Jesus Christ That We All Need!

We Must Set Aside The Ways Of The World
And
Its Surging Greed
And
For The Savior Of Man
We Must Honestly See 
And
Humbly Express Our Truest And Great Need!

If We Don't
By The Liar We Will Be Assailed!
The Good Ship Called Certain Hope Will Sail ...! 

...But If We Worship And Bow Down
Expressing Our Heartfelt Need
Our Salvation Will Be Achieved
And
Since It Has Been Dearly Purchased
With The Life Of The Prince Of Peace
The King Of Glory Will Be Hailed! 

This Is Terrific, Brethren!

Here's To Handing Satan ... Instead
A Ginormous Fail!!

Let Our Jesus Christ Be Praised!

AMEN!!!

Have You Considered ...?!

Have We Considered
Carefully
- Honestly -
That Jesus Christ Is
Creator
Savior
Shepherd
Redeemer
Anchor
Rock
Covert
Healer
Sealer
Revealer
Sustainer
Lord
King
Friend
Hope
Help
Way
Truth
Light
Door
Wonderful Counsellor
Mighty God
Everlasting Father
Prince Of Peace
Surety
And
Security?!

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Holds The World
In His Hand
Also Holds Your Hand In His Hand ... Gently?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Hears All The Prayers
Of Every Single Faithful Soul
Knows Your Name Personally
And 
Listens Personally To Your Prayers Avidly?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That As A True Believer
- Trusting Obedient enduring And Faithful -
Regenerated By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
That The Eternal God Has To Take Care Of You
And 
Cannot Let You Fail?! 

Have You Considered
Carefully
That If Letting You Die Suddenly
Or Permitting You To Languish In Illness
Will Save Your Soul
That That Is What Will Happen To You?! 

You Can't Prove That!
Where Are Your Two Or Three Witnesses?!

Can, Too!

Almighty God's Servant, Job: 




Apostle Paul:






King David:






John The Revelator:





Oh! Never Mind!

Whatever Happens To Us In This Flesh
Jesus Christ Is Our Certain Hope
Our Sure Help
Our Only True Way Of Escape
And
Our Perfect Solace
So We May Rest Easy And In Peace In His Love!

So, What You Are Saying Is
Look Up And Not In!

In A Nutshell, Yes!

Jesus Christ's Death Is Our Reconciliation
And
Jesus Christ's Life Is Our Salvation
So, Bless The Ever-Living God
Ye Peoples Of The Nations
And
Praise The God Of Creation! 









Dwell Not Upon What You Carnal Eyes See
Your Carnal Ears Hearing
And
Your Carnal Body Is Feeling And Experiencing
In The Here And The Now
But, Instead
Dwell Upon What The Living God Has Done
And
Is Doing For Your Purchased Soul
And
Is Making Ready
For
Your Eternal Blessing
In The Land Where We Shall Never Grow Old!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: SELF ... Daring Almighty God?!



... The Questions Are Simple:

Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?!
Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish
Even Egregiously Bad Decisions
Cost Me My Life?!
AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered
How Each Person's Free Will
Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice
AND
"No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour 
WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!

I Once Heard A Pastor Say
That Because He Is So Certain
Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation
That He Would Not Defend Himself
Against An Intruder
A Bandit
Even If It Cost Him His Life
Because
It Could Lead To
- AFTER 
His Demise -
That Bold And Ravening Sinner
Repenting Of Known Sin
AND
Coming To Jesus
AND
Being Saved For Eternity!

Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:

Greater Love Hath No Man
But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!


And I Would Say
That He Is Wrong?!

I Agree!
Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!

Jesus Christ's Life
Is The Only Life
That Was 
That Is 
The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!

Everybody Knows Right From Wrong!
God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart
So That They Are Without Excuse!

But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!

Indeed ...!

So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Now Is The Acceptable Time!
Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!

What Of The Martyrs?!

What About
If We Confess Our Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
To Forgive Us Our Sin
And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!

What About
If Any Man Hear My Voice
And Answer?!

What About Harden Not Your Heart?!

What Of 
Get Wisdom!
Get Understanding?!

What Of
Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of
THE WHOLE MATTERFear God
And Keep His Commandments
For The Living God IS Judge?!

What Of 
My Reward Is With Me
To Give Everyman According As
His Personal Work Shall Be?!

Harden Not Your Hearts!

Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!

Blood As Seed Works
While God's Mercy Is Still Working!
It Won't Work
When Man's Probation Is Finished!

This, Somehow 
- To Me -
Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!

... Just Like Death Bed Confessions
And
Death Bed Repentances!

Too, True!
Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!

Think About This:

You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately
AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die
... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!

That's Presumptuous!

We Need To Confess Our Known Sin
And Repent To God Every Day
In Jesus Christ's Name
For
No Man Knows The Day
Nor The Hour
WHEN
The Son Of Man Cometh
Is All That I'm Going To Say!

Be Careful
Ye That Think Ye Stand
Lest Ye Fall!

No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!
We Daily Sin
By Thought Word And Deed
AND
We Need To Remember The Word:




Every Man Has The Same Opportunity
AND
We Should Remember That
The Soul That Sins
It Shall Die
AND
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!

Any Final Thoughts ...

By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified!
By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!

I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea
Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!

Nowhere In Scripture
Will You Find A Saint Of God
Presuming Upon God's Mercy
In Such An Unseemly Manner!

We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ
And For The Sake Of The Gospel!

We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion
Have The Right
Nor The Power
To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed
And Be Hopeful Of Something
That In All Likelihood
May Never Happen!

No Criminal Ever Said
Or Will Ever Say: 

I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man
A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation
A Heaven-Bound Saint
And God ... 
The Living Eternal God Of All Grace
Who Pays All
BUT
Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian
To Be A Human Christ
AND
Who Knows The Thoughts
AND
Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart
Is Going To
- In Servile Cooperation 
For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice - 
Convert Me
And Save My Soul
From The Second Death
Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning
AND
Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace
AND
Have Purposefully Chosen
The Way Wherein Lies
Death!


You Ain't Lie!

Wouldn't It Be Easier
For The Christian
In Faith
For Faith
To Pray:

God Have Mercy!
Save Me!


And Then Say
To That Wilful Sinner:

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Stop!?


The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder
AND
By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts
Caused Many Christians To Perish!
 
Jesus Christ, Himself
Met The Then-Called Saul
- On His Way To Harm More Christians -
AND
Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting
Not The Christians
But Christ, Indeed
AND
Blinded Him
AND
Cast Down His Vain Imaginings
AND
Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness
For Three Days
- The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave -
To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!

He Repented
AND
Was Converted
AND
Physical Scales
- At The Appointed Time -
Fell From His Eyes
AND
He Became 
The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!

Paul Was Humbled
AND
He Humbled Himself!

Not Once Did He Say:

I Shall Let Them
- The Adversaries -
Kill Me
So That They
- By My Personal Sacrifice -
WILL
Be Saved!

Paul Did All To Preserve His Life! 

Paul Did Not Indulge
In Heaven-Daring Arrogance
Because He Had
"An In ... An Inside Track To God!"

That Faithful Apostle
At His Life's End
Said:






Paul Trusted The Lord
AND
The Word Of The Lord
AND
He Chose To LIVE
For His Jesus
AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin
Dying-Through-Sin
Men's Souls!

The Point Here Is ...

As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:

Which Is Easier?
To Say
Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee! 
OR
Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!


Which In This Case, Is
Dare To Die For The Sinner 
Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved
AND
You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost
Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed
OR
Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus
By Fervent Prayer
AND
Request The Angel Guard
While Also Requesting
That The Holy Spirit
Meet The Evil-Doer
Face To Face!

Brethren,
If You Say
You Trust Believe Worship Praise
Obey Honor
AND
Glorify Almighty God
In Your Person
Do It All Day
Every Day
In Every Way
In Every Situation!

There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven!
There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!

The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!
AND
The Key To The Door Is Living Faith! 

The Way IS Straight And Narrow
For We Must Live By Christ
- The Way The Truth And The Life -
AND
We Are Not To Do Anything
That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown
AND
That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS
Eternal Life!

Brethren,

I Caution You
AND
Myself
I Am Certainly Including:

Check Yourself
Before You Wreck Yourself!

Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God
For Our Lives!! 

Be Faithful ... Unto Death!
Don't Call Death Unto You!

What Is Our Watch-Word?!

Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Please Do All
To Grow In Daily Grace
Through Your Working Faith
For, Soon
- Very Soon -
We Shall See Jesus Christ
Face To Face!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : The Day Is Coming ...! + Prayer: Lord, I Am A Pilgrim




In The Journey
On The Doomed Ship
Bearing Jesus Christ's Apostle
Paul
Was A Roll Call
Of Mankind
That Speaks
To The Life Position
Of Humankind All!

In Life
There Be Sailors
Soldiers
AND
Passengers
AND
Prisoners, Too!
Tell Me, If You Can
Which One Are You?

Sailors - Just Like Ships
Ride The Waves Of Life's Sea
In High Crests
Through Deep Troughs
Tumbled And Tossed
Sometimes Becalmed
Sometimes Resident
For A Moment
Upon Some Foreign Shore
Where Strange Is Exciting
Where Fun times Are Fast
Where Wrong Move May Mean Incarceration
Until The Company Lawyer
Pays
For A Go Home Free Pass!

Some Men Are Soldiers
Battling Ever In Some War
Fighting The Elements
The Enemy Known Unknown
AND
The Enemy Comfortably Resident 
Inside Of All Men!
These Soldiers Are Committed
Trained
Loyal -  'Tis True
BUT
Lest You Forget
Even Among Loyal Soldiers
There Are Traitors Not A Few!

Then There Are Prisoners
Who May Have Been
Sailors
Or Soldiers
Soldiering Sailors
Or Sailoring Soldiers
Men And Women
Just Like Me And Like You
Who
True And Faithful To Their Calling
Suffer An Enemy Broadside!
Freedom Is Restricted!
Freedom Is Denied!
For Some
They Are Caught In Condemnation's 
Flowing Tide
Knowing
That E'er The Next Sunrise
The World Will Celebrate Their Demise!

And, Then ...

There Are The Passengers
On The Cruise Ship Of Life
Living In The Lap Of Luxury
Enjoying The Parties
Insulated
From Life's Strife!
They Eat Of The Earth's Bounty!
They Drink Of Sweet Nectars' Delights!
Their Burden Is Acquisition Of The Best
Entertainment
Apparel
Silver
AND
Gold
With No Thought Or Concern For
The Plight Of The Poor!

In This Broad Scenario
There Be No Absolutes
For
The Spirit Of God
Flows
Among Men
This Is The Truth!

All Start With Known Demerits
For All Have
The Sinner Mien
BUT
There Be Those
The Called
The Few
The Chosen
Who Have Answered The Call To Light
AND
Have Taken The Position
To Be To And Of
The Lord Christ
A Bright And Shining Light
Willing
Ready
Able For Truth To Valiantly Fight!

I Have Been
A Passenger
AND
A Sailor
AND
Now A Soldier
AND
A Prisoner Of God
BUT
I Know The Day Is Coming
If Life Be Spared
AND
Almighty God Allows
That I Shall Be Evil Man's Prisoner
Because Of
The Machinations Of The Furious Fiend
Satan
The Enemy Of The Living Eternal God!

I Seek To Be A Simple Soldier!
No Super Soldering For Me!
I Seek To Be Captive To Jesus
AND
To Walk Before Him
In All Purposeful Humility!

I Choose To Believe God Is Faithful
AND
That In The Fulness Of Time
I Will Rescued Be
AND
I Expect
Fully To Be Rewarded Of God
So
I Will Not Serve Him
With The Minimalist Mentality!

Jesus Christ Gave His All
AND
I Accept On My Life
His Call!
By God's Grace
I Am Off The Passenger Manifest
AND
See
In The Shortening Distance
Zion Hill's Beckoning Crest!

My Back
May Be Breaking
BUT
My Faith Is Not Shaking!
My Eyes May Be Blind
BUT
My Heart Is To Its Living God
Lovingly Inclined!

My Feet May Be Weary!
My Shoulders May Be Sore
BUT
My Head Is Safely Helmeted
And I Know ...

In Jesus' Name
God Will Receive Me
At The Pearl Gate Door!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,
I Am Pilgrim In This World Of Sin
And I
- By The Holy Spirit -
Choose No Longer Its Evil Ways
To Partake In!
Have Mercy, I Beseech Thee
And
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Lock Me In
So That I Will Not
On Satan's Deceptions Trip
And
To Hell Headlong
Fall In!

Guide, Lord
The Faithful Home
Safely Along The Narrow Way!
Help Us To Listen
And
Faithfully Do All That You Say!
Take Us Under The Shelter Of Your Wings
And
Help Us Not To Give Countenance To
The Worship Of Golden Calves
And
Other Putrid Things!

Bless Us
And Keep Us
And
Protect Us, I Pray
And
In The Day Of Dawning
Take Us All To Dwell With You
Forevermore
As Sure Citizens
In The Realm Called Glorious
And
Heavenly
The Land Of Delight
Where Peace Is Eternal
And
There Is No Night!
We Love You, Lord
And
Bless You For Your Blessings Upon Us!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Pray And Stand!
AMEN.
