HAPPY SABBATH + Lead Us Gently, Dear Savior! + PRAYER: Help Us To Walk Wisely!










We Sing With Relish 

"Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us 
Much We Need Thy Tenderest Care ...!" 

Are The Words Real In Our Hearts 
Or 
Are They Just Ink Stains On Nice Paper!?! 

Singing For Singing's Sake
Does Nothing For The Traveller On His Journey Home:
We Are Pilgrims And Strangers In A Strange Land!

We Are To Confidently Sing What We Believe 
And 
We Should Gratefully Give Praise And Thanks That 
Our Dear Savior Marks The Path 
And 
Makes It Plain For Us To Faithfully Follow After Him 
Without Fear 
And 
With Loving Fervor! 

By Contrast
Satan The Damned Slitheringly Follows After Us
Aka Dogs Our Steps 
Wherever We Are Disobediently Going!
 
Goat-Herders Follow 
Aka Chase After Disobedient, Known Own-Way, Goats 
Who Of Themselves Decide 
Where Their Shepherd Will Faithfully Follow After Them! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
Is 
Our Shepherd Of Rest! 

Our Blessed Jesus ... Out-Front And Purposeful
Absolutely Knows Where He Is Leading His People
The Blessed Sheep Of His Verdant Pasture! 

Our Beloved Jesus
Is Not 
A Day's-Man Aka A Rent-A-Shepherd 
Who Bails On His Charges When Troubles Come! 
He Makes The Sure Way Safe 
And 
The Safe Way Sure! 
He Forgets Not His Own
Who Follow After Him By Choice!

No Paper Maps With Uncertain Marks Are Needed 
And 
The Every-Which-Way GPS System Of Fallen Man
Is 
Effectively Useless! 
The Only Way Is The Lord's Way To Surpassing Glory!

Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Loving Shepherd Who Also Created His Sheep
And
The Perfectly Positive Path For Our Feet
And 
The Perfect Place For Our Eternal Rest

And

We Can Never Go Astray
With Him Leading Us Gently On Our Way! 



PRAYER:

Lead Us, Heavenly Father
For
We Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!

We Need Your Perfect Peace
And
Restorative Rest 
Your Sure Direction
Your Ready Provision
Your Able Protection
And 
Your Saving Correction! 
We Need You Now, Today!

You, Dear Lord
Are The Living Light That
Leads All Of Us Willing
To Eternal Life 
So, Please
For Undying Love
For Love Which Will Not Let Us Go
Help Us To Walk Wisely
In The Perfect Way
Which Will Never Lead Us
To Commit Sin And Be Made Ashamed!

Please Lead Us, Kindly Light
For Earth's Day Is Darkening Fast
And
We Need To Safely Reach Home
The Abode Of The Forever Blessed
Where Love Ever Lasts!

Of Our Known Sins, Father
Natural, Cultivated, And Besetting 
With The Humility Of True Repentance
With Contrite Hearts
We Confess!

Father,
We See Our Need
Of
Your Sure Salvation
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We, Bankrupt, Plead!
Please Forgive Us
And
Bless Us
And
Come For Us Soon!
We Love You!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Blessed Or Curse, The Choice Is Yours Alone!









How Are You!?! 

"I'm Doing Well!" 

Really!?! 
Are You Doing What Is Good And Right!?! 

"Well, Um, Ah ... You Know ...!" 

Beloved, 

Doing What Is Good And Right 
Should Never Be The Fish-Bone That 
Sticks In Your Throat
The Rose-Thorn In Your Hand
Nor The Nail In Your Foot! 

Being Good 
And 
Doing Right 
Shouldn't Make You Sneeze, Wheeze 
And 
Desire To Vomit 
Because 
It Is So Alien To Your Character 
And 
Your Way Of Life
And
A Cause For Mockery 
And
An Offense To Your "Friends!" 

When We Walk With The Lord Christ
We Walk According To His Will 
And
On The Path That He Shows 
And
Is Guiding Us Safely Along 

And

If You Have Bosom Buddies, Associates
And
Near And Dear Ones 
Who Are Urging You By Snide Remark
Petty Behavior And ... Evil Deed 
To Depart The Living Way
Dare To Be Very Courageous 
And
Choose To Live For The Lord 
Who Gives You Life And Health
And
Protection 
And 
Provision Every Single Day! 

Evil And Evil-Doers Temporarily Rage And Rise 
But 
Being Thoroughly Cursed
They Will Eventually, Eternally, Perish! 

The Saints Of God And Christ 
Will Temporarily Suffer Physical And Financial Ruin 
For Their Steadfast Faithfulness 
But
Being Truly Blessed Beyond All Human Thought
They Will Spiritually Flourish 
And
Eternally Prosper! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

You Are Not Alone! 

Truth And Faith 
Give Good And Right The Eternal Win: 
Pray And Plod On! 

Peace!

Blessed!

I Looked Into The Mirror
And From My Self Turned Away
And Looked Unto Him Who Was Behind Beside
Looking With Loving Eyes My Way!

I Know Him!
It Is The Master!
His Heart Is Courting Mine!
Sometimes To Him I'm Amenable!
Sometimes - Resisting -
I Behave Badly
Giving Him
What To Me
Is A Hard Time!

Time Passes
And I Grow Tired
Of My Struggling Against Him
And His Love!

He Said To Me: 


"Dear One,
In Me You Will Ever Find Love!
I Cause The Sun To Shine
On The Good And The Evil, And
My Blessings Upon You Do Not Depend Upon Your Input!"

"I AM Love!
I Love And Care For You!
I AM Comfort - You Are Blessed!
I Laid Down My Life
So That - In Me - You Will Find Perfect Peace And Sweet Rest!"

"I AM Always Available To You!
I Can't Force You To Love Me
To Trust Me
To Walk In My Way
BUT
If You Give Me Your Hand
In Sweet Fellowship
You Will Have Against Sin, Death And Hell
Made Your Glorious Grandstand!"

"Walk With Me Holy
For I AM Holy!
Keep My Commandments!
Do Not Follow The Word And Stray Away!
Keep Your Salt Dry And Accessible
And Don't Let Your Lamp Of Oil Run Dry!"

"Bless Me With Your Prayers And Your Praises!
I Bless You In Myriad Uncountable Ways!
Hold On To Me - My Hand Is Rock Steady
And You Will Stand Firm By Faith
Until The Coming Glorious Day!"

"Call On Me!
Come What May
Call - I'm Already On The Way!"

I - In Faith, Love And Trust - Called!
Before I Finished Speaking
My Master IS Here
AND
My Heart Sings!

Believers are Blessed


 Believers are Blessed




We clothe ourselves with humility
We arm ourselves with prayer
We bow before God as supplicants
We cast on Him every care and seek rest


We seek His will for our lives
We treasure His every word
His stripes are those that heal us
His tears our eyes wash and refresh


He has prepared for us a table
He anoints with oil our heads
He fills our cups to overflowing
He has fashioned us white robes and glittering crowns


We do not want for anything
He is our all and all
He by still waters lead us
We have nothing to fear should we die


He heals us all with His stripes
He doth sin-sick souls restore
He in righteous paths daily lead us
He makes us by green pastures rest


Sin cannot take us away from Him
He paid sin's price for our paths
His mercy and goodness shall follow us
While our lives on this earth shall last


And when at last through the valley
Of death's shadow we seemingly descend on our own
We have nothing to fear in the darkness
For He never leaves us by ourselves, all alone


Soon the trumpet of the Archangel resounding
Shall wake the dead and the living alert
All we who have placed our faith in the Savior

And we shall live in His House for eternity

New Page Added entitled "My Testimony"


Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I hope that your day was blessed, and that all is indeed well with you, and your loved ones!

     I have added a new page entitled "My Testimony!" It is indeed my personal testimony, and it is written as poetry.

     "My Testimony!" is the story of my journey toward finding my way back home to the Family of Faith (not that I ever left), and it was written about eleven (11) months after I came close to losing my life in an accident.

      I have one very clear memory of that event when, as I was in a crosswalk, a vehicle picked me up and tossed me out of my shoes and sent me flying through the air: I remember being physically, and very slowly and gently, let down to the ground.

      Afterward, I was told that I should have been dead BUT The Lord obviously had very different plans for me.

     My health, life and living were changed drastically, but I am thankful to be alive.

     I believe with all my heart that I am, and have been, kept alive for a purpose, and I am willing, The Lord knows when He will be ready for me, and He will ensure that I am able to perform whatever task He has ordained for me.

     It is my prayer that some one soul may be blessed by this outpouring,

BJC

Happy Sabbath!

Greetings, Dear Ones, and Happy Sabbath to you and to yours!

     Another Sabbath Day has arrived where we come together to tabernacle with the Lord, to sing His praises and to rest in Him!

    Let us all give thanks to Our Almighty God for this time we can spend together, and for the myriad blessings He, in His Mercy, provided to us throughout the week just past.

    The offering today is a poem entitled The Raindrops and the Song of Praise is Be Strong in the Lord. You will also find A Prayer of Thanksgiving!

    I pray that you all will have a Blessed Sabbath day!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,


BJC

Be blessed,

BJC
