NO TRAMP STAMP: Take The Name And Give Your All To And For Jesus Christ!


Ecclesiastes 11:4 He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that  regards the clouds shall not reap.



If You Will Turn Your Eyes Toward Jesus Christ In The Day Of Your Trial
Make It A Practice ... A Habit
- A Reason For Being -
To Turn Your Eyes Toward Our Blessed Lord 
Every Moment Of Every Day! 

Make The Informed Decision ...

Turn To Jesus Christ In Joy Or Sorrow
For Pleasure
In Pain
With Need
Through Despair
For Comfort
And 
Just To Share! 

Listen, Obey And Live!

The Lord Loves Us So Much That 
He Put His Two Hands To The Plow:
His Two Hands Were Stretched Out For Us On Calvary's Cross 
With His Two Feet Firmly Nailed Down To Earth! 

We Claim That We Love Him And Bless His Holy Name! 
We Declare That We Pray With Passion And Power
And 
Swear That We Are Too Blessed By His Holy Hand 
To Be Stressed By The World's Aka The Devil's Plans! 
That's All Well And Good 
But
If Truth Be Told
Our All-In-With-Jesus Effort 
- Which Would See Us Saved Eternally -
Equals Only 99% Commitment! 

Beloved, 

Let's Stop Being Chickens Laying Eggs For The Lord 
And 
Let's Become Pascal Lambs
The Clean ... The Perfect ... Sacrifice
Truly Suitable For The Altar Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

If You Are On Fire For Jesus 
And 
End Up In The Flames For His Name
Rest Assured That He Will Be With You

And

In The Great Day Of Celebration
You Will Wear The Gold Crown
And 
The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 
And
Permanently Bear His Name! 
Be Brave! 


The Name Of The Lord
Upon Your Person
Is Not 
A Tramp-Stamp
Nor An Underground Slave Brand!
It Is The Royal Seal
On
The Child Of The Living God! 

**--**--**--**--**

Let No One Steal Your Name
Nor Your Crown!

**--**--**--**--** 

Walk Humbly
Obediently
Expectantly
And
Enduringly
Before The Lord Of Life!

DECISIONS, DECISIONS: Send To The Lord The Word Of Commitment!

There's A High Price To Low Living!
I Should Know!

The Best Life Is To Live In Christ Jesus!
That's A Fact That I Truly Know!

Doing Wrong Brings From Doing Right, A Division!
To Come That Realization, I Know I Was Slow!

Brethren,
Having Lived Fairly Long
Having Done The Thing The Word Of Truth Calls Wrong
Having Felt The Pain Of The "I'm So Sorry!" Song
Let's All Now Take The Eternal Position 
To Live With Christ
In That Place Where Time Does Not Belong
And 
Give Our Found-Happiness Its Voice
By Sending Up A Word Of Commitment
To The King So That Forever And Ever
- When Time Shall See Its Just End -
We May For Eternity Truly, Truly, Rejoice!

Living Life Making Life And Death Decisions
Puts Us On The Eternal Path Collision
And
Being A Member Of The Famous Religion
Does Not Exempt One From The True Or False Question!
All Men Have To Come To The Matter's Conclusion
Because Riding The Fence Is Also A Decision!

Buying Peace!?! + PRAYER ... For Guidance!

... And I Went To The Village Shop
To Buy A Little Peace!

A Piece Of What!?!

A Piece Of Peace!

Mercy, Lord! Mercy!
You Can't Buy A Little
Far Less A Lot Of Peace
AND
Definitely Not
In The Village Shop!
What's Wrong With You?!

I NEED Peace!

Okay, Then!
You NEED Jesus!

I Already Got Jesus!
I Need PEACE!

Alright, Then!
You Need JESUS!

I Said I Have ...!

...If You Really HAD Jesus
You Would Really HAVE Peace!

Huh?!
I Go To Church Regularly!
I Pay Tithes And Offerings!
I Do Work On Four Committees!
I Run The Dorcas League!
I Teach Bible School!
I Sing In The Church Choir!
I'm In The Singing Band!
I Sponsor Three Orphans!
I Work Hard For Jesus!
I've GOT Me Some Jesus!

What You've Got
Is A Heart For Church Work
BUT
Have You Given Your Heart To Jesus?!

Have You Confessed Your Sin
AND

Repented 
AND
Turned Away From Sinning?!

Do You Say Your Prayers
Really Communing With The Lord?!
Do You Read And Study The Living Word

AND
Are You Walking In Faith With The Lord?

Ahhh... Uh mmm!

Thought So!

Jesus Said:

My Peace I Give Unto You!


You Can't Get It For Yourself!
Money Can't Buy It!
Intellect Can't Assume It!
AND
Man's Vaunted Wisdom Can't Avail Itself Of It!


Peace Is A Gift!
And, Furthermore
Within Peace
Is Forgiveness Of Sin
AND
Joy In Jesus
AND
Rest ... For The Soul!

There Is No Peace For The Wicked
AND
No Matter How Much You Go To Church
And Say
Lord! Lord!

There Is No Peace
No Joy In This Life
Without Forgiveness For Sin!

Peace Comes Of The Love Relationship
With Our Lord!

So, Pray Tell
How Come I'm Now Hearing This
... And From A Pedestrian ... Like You!?!


Nobody Ever Told Me
That Forgiveness Of Sin
Is Tied Up In Peace!
All I Ever Heard ... Hear 

Is Do Good Works!
Be Kind!
Be Helpful!
Share With The Poor ...!

Sweetie, All That Is Going To Get You
Is A Free Berth In The Lake Of Fire!

Are You Mad?!
I've Devoted My Life To The Church ...!

... But You Have Not Given Over
Committed 
Devoted
- Surrendered -
Your Life To The Lord Christ!

Just Doing Church Work
AND
Not Surrendering To God
- In Christ Jesus -
Is Like Going To Work For A Corporation
AND
Faithfully Working
Without Them Knowing That They Hired You!
There Ain't No Paycheck With Your Name On It!

How Straaange ... I Thought God Knew Everything!

Almighty God Does, Indeed
Know Everything
BUT ...
You Still Have To Finalize The Transaction
By Sending Him The Word Of Your Agreement!
You Have To Make The Verbal Commitment!
Word Is Bond!








If What You Are Saying Is True
- And I Don't Doubt You -
Then ... I Guess Not!

I Was Told 

AND
I Sincerely Believed
That Working For The Lord 
IS
Devotion To God
And That If I Work Faithfully For God
I Will Be Saved By Christ The Lord!
I Am Pleased To Work!

Sorry, My Dear!
Pleasure Ain't Peace!

Peace Is A Gift!
Salvation Is A Gift!
Forgiveness Is A Gift!
The Love Of God Is A Gift!
AND
All Are Compliments Of Jesus Christ
AND
Without These
No Matter How Sincerely You Believed
That Work Is Commitment To God
Without Change
You Will Be Sincerely Lost!
You Cannot Work For God
AND
Live And Play With The Devil!

Read Isaiah 26:3!
The Lord Will Keep You In Perfect Peace
If Your Mind Is Stayed
-Anchored -
On Him
AND
You Trust In Him!

And ...

Without Forgiveness Of Sin
You Are At War With God!
Sooo ... No Peace!

That Is So Unfair!
I Didn't Know That I Had To Confess Sin
AND

Repent Of Sin
To Get Forgiveness
AND
Salvation
AND
To Gain ... Peace!

You Know Now, Love!

Yes!
Now I Know!
I've Been So Very, Very, Miserable!
I Was Getting Desperate!

You Would Have To Have Been Desperate
To Go To The Village Shop
To Buy
"A Piece Of Peace!"

Yuh Think!!

PRAYER:

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord!
Give Unto Us
The Treasured Gift Of Your Peace!
Bless Us To Do Your Will
And
From Sin
Grant Us Needed Relief!

We Are Willing Workers, Father!
Please Guide Us Along The Way
And
Help Us To Speak Peace
Whatever It Is
- In Your Name -
That We Do And Say!

Remember The Brethren
Those Near And Those Far
And
Bless Them
According To Your Will
So That They Will Trust
The Word
Of
Our Savior's Interceding
As We Against
The Devil And Sin
Spar!

Forgive Us Our Trespasses
Against The Holy God
And
Bless Us
Lord, Bless
To Have Faith
For
Our Trusty Conveyance
Our Always-Fueled
And
Ever-Operational
Can't-Break-Down
Motor Car!

We Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus' Name, We Humbly Plead!

COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION : Go To The Ants!






Ski-Per-Di
Met
Ants
AND
It Is Love
No Matter The Sight!

Holding Them Together Is
One Little
Called Grain
AND
Their Commitment
To Moving The Little Grain
Makes Feats Of Impossible Engineering
All Over
To Be Exclaimed!

They Are A Wonder To Behold!
Their Works Cannot Be
Begged
Bought
Bartered
Nor Sold
BUT
They Can Be Destroyed
BUT
Not By Just Any Old Puff Of Wind
For
The Builders Are Always
In The Mode Called
Preparing!

Who Or What Is That
Skiperdi Thingy With The Ants?!
I've Not Have Heard That Name Before!

Ski-Per-Di
Is A Composite Word
Of The Genus Adjective!
Ski - Skillful
Per - Persistent
Di - Diligent

I Like That Play!
It Must Be Interesting Inside Your Mind!

Hmm .... Yes!
I Like Playing With Words!

Moving Along ...

Man Can Learn A Lot
From Ants
Among Whom
Won't Be Found
That Big Word 
CAN'T!

Can't Ain't An Ant
For He Is Wearing Purple Pants
And
Is Sporting An Apostrophe
Like A Bouffant
And
Is Always Acting Indignant!

Ants Are Industrious
With Nary A Boss
AND
They Never
- For Even A Moment -
Think
That Hope Is Lost
When Big Feet Stamp
When Big Rain Falls
When Wild Wind
Winding
Wailing
Writes
Of What Will Be Wasted
Lost In A Toss!

Ants Trust In God's Providence
AND
Ants Prepare
Gathering
Building
Storing
AND
All That
Without Hesitancy
Or Fear!

Ants Have Lessons
For Sluggards
Who Would Do Well To Observe
That Ants Get
When The Getting Is Good
And Yet ...
They Carry No Purse!

Consider The Ants' Ways
AND
Be Wise
AND
Let Not The Thought Of Labor
Make You Use Laziness For A Disguise!

Labor Is Not Dirt
That Can Fall Upon You
AND
You Kill
So ...
Pick A Position
AND
Lavishly Labor On
AND
You Will Shelter Your Head
AND
A Hungering Belly Soon Fill!

Let Not Your Size Determine Your Ability!
Be Wise Unto Salvation
AND
Jesus Christ
As Your Personal Welcoming King
- Not Your Judge -
You Will 
Undoubtedly 
Soon See!


Let No Man Tell You
That Honest Labor Is A Load
For
If You Look Closely
You Will See That
Vile Satan
Is Using That Man ... As A Goad!
