HAPPY SABBATH + God-Conscious: The Word Of The Lord Stands Forever!










One Of The Wonderful Things About 
Being Under The Benevolent Control Of The Holy God 
Is That 
We Have Options! 

We Have The Free-Will 
To Exercise Our Freedom To Choose 
To Utilize Any And All Options 
Then On The Loaded Table Of Life! 

What A Buffet! 

If You Are A Committed Christian
You Will, With Wisdom Say:


Lord God Almighty, 
I Love You 
And 
Choose To Let You Rule My Life 
According To Your Living Word
The Unerring Truth! 

Please Help Me 
Not To Indulge In The See-Food Diet 
And 
Give In To Guts Over Glory! 

Beloved, 

We Are Nearing Home! 

We Need To Get Back To Basics! 
We Need To Get Back To Being God-Conscious 
And 
Reject Being Self-Conscious 
Which Is Where Sin
Via Lucifer's Elevation Aka Consciousness Of His Self 
Entered The Universe
And 
Subsequently Despoiled Our Fore-Parents 
And 
Our Earthly Home! 

In One Text Of Scripture
We Are Cautioned
Warned
Encouraged
And 
Blessed 

And

We Need To Take Heed 
To The Preservation Of Our Own Souls 
Because 
All Else Will Pass Away Into Oblivion: 
The Word Of Our God Will Stand Forever! 

Self 
Is 
A Notorious Sinner!

Jesus Christ ... The Word Of God
Is 
Lord, God, And King Forever: 
Do Not Crucify Him Again 
By Bringing His Name To An Open Shame 
By Exploring Bad Options! 

The Word Of Almighty God Works 
And 
Is Always On Duty: 
Hookups Are Encouraged! 

The Lord's Truth 
Is 
Our Belt, Sword, And Shield: 
Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace!

OPTIONS: Temporary Satisfaction vs. Eternal Bliss!

 



We Have Options! 
We Have The Choice Between Truth And Error
Good And Evil
Careful And Careless 
And 
Temporary Satisfaction And Eternal Bliss! 

For A Committed Christian
The Idea Of Having 
"A Lil' A Dis Right 
And Summa Dat Wrong" 
Like Eating Off A Buffet Table 
Is 
An Illusion! 

Beloved, 

Consider That You Are A House Well Maintained 
Until One Fine Day 
When Some Howlie Broke One Of Your Windows! 

You're Angry 
Because 
You Have Someplace To Be 
And 
You Really Don't Feel Like 
Dealing With That Issue Right Now! 

You Go About Your Business 
Which Turned Out To Be Profitable 
And
In Euphoria
You Forget About The Broken Window! 

Somebody Else Didn't! 

That Minor Broken Window 
Transformed Into Your Major Problem 
When It Became The Gateway For Thieves 
Whose Wicked Activities Were Only Discovered 
When Your Haphazardly-Managed House-Alarm 
Was Eventually Triggered! 

For Being Willfully Careless
You Were Wiped Out When The Thieves Cleaned Up! 
You Have To Start Over ... If You're Able! 

Dear Ones, 

Build Back Better 
Is 
Euphemism For 
"I Dropped The Glass Ball!" 

Knowing Right And Doing Wrong 
Is 
Sin 
So Please Clean Up Your "Little" Sin 
Before Bad Habit Turns Into Planned Sin 
Which Turns You ... Unwise
Into A Reprobate
Unapproved By Almighty God! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self And ... Think 
And
Get Your Bible-Scale 
And 
Weigh Short-Term Ungodly  Ease 
Against Eternal Heavenly Bliss! 

You Know The Truth: Embrace It! 
You Know The Way: Walk In It! 
Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Consent + Cooperation









Consent And Cooperation 
Are Words Both Decidedly Delicious 
And 
Damnably Distasteful 
At One And The Same Time! 

If You Are A Committed Christian
Jesus Christ Will Save, Use, And Seal You 
Because 
Of Your Willing, Informed
And 
Free-Will Consent 
And 
Faith-First Cooperation! 

If You Are A Nominal 
Aka NATO Aka No Action Talk Only
Bread 'N Fish Christian
Satan Aka The Accuser Of The Brethren 
And
The Adversary Of Your Soul
Will Gladly Use, Abuse, And Accuse You 
With Your Willing Consent 
And 
Full Cooperation
With The Sworn Intention Of Destroying Your Life! 

If You Follow Satan
You Will Be Condemned, Damned 
And 
Eternally Destroyed By The Judge Of All Flesh
The Lord Christ! 

When You Follow The Lord Christ
You Will Be Temporarily Targeted
Tested, Tried, Tempted
Terrorized And Tortured 
By The Already Condemned, Damned
And 
Waiting To Be Finally, Eternally, Destroyed, Satan 
Who Presently Thrives On Deception, Lies 
And 
Murder! 

Choice 
Is
Consent And Cooperation! 

In The Great Day Of Small Things
Will Your Present Choice See You Rising Up To Glory 
Or 
Ruined And Routed To Hell!?! 

Please Search Your Own Soul 
And 
Seek To Save Yourself: 
Choose The Love 
And 
The Life Of The Lord Jesus Christ 
Who Always Protects 
And 
Provides The Choicest Blessings 
For His Consenting, Cooperating 
And 
Enduringly Trusting And Faithful People! 

Peace!

My Heart Wants What It Wants!?!






No Committed Christian
- Having Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
And 
Having Taken Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion -
Should Ever Allow The Words 
"My Heart Wants What It Wants!" 
To Pass Their Lips With Regard To The Lust 
For Some Unholy, Fleeting, Fleshly Desire! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Own Savior ... In The Living Word
Has Warned Us That 
The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked 
And 
Beyond All Knowing! 

Beloved, 

Without The Reviving 
And 
Reforming Regenerative Power Of 
The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Make The Living, Holy, Way Plain 
To Each One Of Us Individually ... And Personally
We Will Never See The Unclouded Day That 
Is 
Life In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Human Heart
- Minus Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory - 
Is 
A Licensed Liar And Deceiver 
Even Deceiving Its Own Host! 

Are You Living Your Life 
Following The Hum And Hush Of 
Your Heart's Lustful Desires!?! 
Stop It! 

The Lord Our God Daily Gives Unto Each One Of Us
A Measure Of Enduring Faith 
And 
Encourages Us To Reason With Him 
And
Not With Ourselves! 

Self Is A Sinner! 
A Lustful Heart Is In The Sinner
And
Only Christ Can Remove Self From Us
And 
Give To Us The New Heart That 
Truly Beats For The Living God: 
Ask For It With Your Gift Of Enduring Faith 
And 
Lovingly Receive The Unfettered Blessing! 

Peace!

Live With A Light Touch!











A Christian Desirous Of 
And 
Avidly Seeking After The Easy Life 
On Colorful, Brightly Lit 
And 
Always Entertaining Broadway
Is 
A Sweet Treat 
And 
A Cheap Play-Thing For That Damned Satan! 

As Committed Christians
We Have Been Told 
And 
Have Had This Truth Repeated For Us To Gain Wisdom 
- Foresight To Operate 
And 
Insight To Maneuver -
So That We Do Not Have To Suck On 
Hindsight's Tailpipe Of Regret 
As We Vainly, Bitterly Utter: 

"Woe Is Me! 
I Could Have! 
I Would Have! 
I Should Have
But 
I, Disobedient, Did Not!" 

Beloved, 

We Know For A Fact That Anything In This Life That 
Is 
Truly Worth Possessing 
Comes At A Great Cost
Be It Blood, Sweat, Tears, Friends
Family ... Or Funds! 

Brethren, 

The Life Of Christ Shows Us 
What It Cost Almighty God
Father, Son And Holy Ghost
- In The Personal Sacrifice Of The Only One Innocent - 
To Gift To Us New Life ... Eternal Life
A Future 
And 
An Expected End Of Peace 
And 
Joys Forever! 

Beloved, 

Accepting And Holding The Blessed Gift 
Is 
Going To Cost Us Everything That Is Earthy! 
Please Live With A Light Touch 
And 
An Even Lighter Hold On Earth's Goods! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Carnal Pleasure And Ease 
Will Never Satisfy Our Hungry Souls: 
Look Up To Jesus Christ Always
And
In All Ways
And
Be Eternally Blessed! 

Obedience
To The Immutable Truth
Pays
Eternal Dividends!

THE EXCHANGE AND THE ELEVATOR: Cherish Your Neck!

 



There's The Expression: 

"Ef De Head Bad
De Whole Body Bad!" 

If We Indulge In Stinking Thinking
It Stands To Reason That The Body
- Permanently Fixed To The Head -
Goes Where The Head Leads! 

In Between The Head And The Body
Is 
The Long, Short
Fat Or Thin Neck That We Shall Call 
The Exchange 
And 
The Elevator! 

If We Remove The Head From The Neck
The Body Dies! 

If We Remove The Body From The Neck
The Body Dies! 

Beloved, 

To The Committed Christian
Jesus Christ, The Creator
Is 
The Head Attached To The Body 
By The Neck Called Grace! 

To Jesus Christ
The Body Is Us ... His Church
Connected To Him By The Neck Called Faith! 

Grace Coming Down The Neck 
Is 
Expansive, Wide, Deep
To Cover All Of Us 
- Each One Personally - 
In Every Need! 

Faith Going Up To Jesus 
Is 
A Narrow Beam 
And 
Does Not Allow For Vain Philosophy
Wayward Thinking
Disobedience
Willful Sins
Unbelief
Disbelief
Doubt Or Gainsaying! 
Guard Your Heart: Save Your Faith! 

Brethren, Beloved

Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
In His Glory 
And 
It Is Only By His Grace 
Through The Exercise Of 
His Gift To Us Of His Faith ... To Get To Glory
That We Shall Get To Glory!

Cherish Your Neck! 
Greedily Grab And Hold Grace 
And 
Boldly Use Aka Exercise Faith! 

By Working Faith
Endure All Things In Order To Reach 
The Golden Shore!

PATHWAYS: Walking Wise Or Wild

You Can Sing Hymn A Ton
But Anywhere I Can Go
I Am Making The Journey! 
Any Place I Want To Go
I'm Making The Trek! 

No! You Can't! 

Yes, I Can! 

No! You Can't! 

Yes, I Can, And I Will ... I Do! 

Okay! You Win And Lose! 

Excuse Me!?! 

I Did Not Stutter! 
I Plainly Said:

"Okay! You Win And Lose!"

Why Did You Say That!?! 
All I'm Doing Is Having A Good Time
Enjoying My Life ... You Know, Mine
Aka Making Sure My Individual Needs 
Are Exalted, Fulfilled And Thoroughly Enjoyed 
No Matter The Cost! 
It's Alllll About Me! 
You Should Try It! 
It's Absolutely Delicious! 

Wow! And You Call Yourself A Committed Christian!?! 

Indeed I Do! 
I'm All For Jesus! 

Thank You For Clarifying 
Your Personal Vision Of Christ's Christianity
Because
Your Christianity Is Not Christ's! 

Bite Your Tongue ... And Then Explain That Remark! 





This, My Child, Explains You! 
You're Making Paths For Your Own Feet
"Doing What Thou Wilt!" 
Which Is Satan's Version Of
The Law Of Almighty God! 

Every Place That One Can Go
Is Not 
A Place That One Should Go
... Even If You Want To
And Can Go There! 

But Life Is Exciting And Fun
And Unpredictable 
And Exciting And Fun ...! 

... And You're Repeating Yourself! 
Are You Trying To Convince Me Or Yourself!?! 

I Like Fun And Excitement! 

Who Are You Following!?! 

Following!?! 
I Don't Follow People!
People Follow Me
And I'm Doing Me ... All Day, Every Day! 

You Are Following Self
And 
All Spirit-Led ... Holy Spirit-Led Christians 
Know That Self
Is 
A Rabid Sinner! 
You Should Be Following The Savior! 

I Am Not A Sinner! 

You Are A Liar! 

How Dare You!?! 

If You Actually Opened Your King James
You Would Surely Know Why I Dare! 

Oookay! 
Tell Me Why I'm A Liar, Then! 

All Mankind Are Sinners! 
We All Fall Short Of The Glory Of Almighty God! 
We Walk In Our Own Ways
And
Depart From The Lord's Path
Because Of
That Little Sinner Called Self
Which You Apparently ... Obviously 
Are Wittingly Harboring In Your Ample Bosom! 





Self Is A Prostitute
Just Like That Adulterous Woman
King Solomon Warned His Son Against
And
We Are Warned Against Self
Against Walking In Its Ways
Which Are Always Downhill! 

Look! 
I Shall Be Plain:
Take A Page Out Of King David's Prayers
And
You Shall Be Blessed And Saved!
You'll Have All The Fun And Excitement You Want Or Need
And Then Some
Because
A Day With The Lord Cannot, Will Not
Ever Be Boring
And
For The Bonus
Walking With The Lord Is ...! 

Bonus!?! 

Yes, As In Profit
As In Profitable! 

I Like Profit! 

That's Strange Since 
The One You're Blithely Walking With
Is
Decidedly Unprofitable! 

Tell Me NOW! 
Tell Me How! 
Tell Me At Whose Throne I Bow!?! 

Very Well! 
King David, The Sweet Psalmist, Said
To His Lord And His God
His Father In Heaven:





King David Knew From Experience 
Learned With Bitter Tears
That Walking According To Self And Feelings
Always Leads To ...! 

... Death! 

So You Read That Story!?! 

Yes! 
It Was Horribly Sad And Painful! 

In That Case
Let's Walk ... Forward:

There Are Only Two Ways
Two Paths In This Life 
Available For Man To Choose! 

The Paths Of Jesus Christ
Of The Almighty God 
Are Righteousness, Mercy, Truth
And
Peace
And 
All Who Walk Therein Are Safe 
From Walking In The Paths Of Satan, The Destroyer! 

The Paths Of Satan
The Known, Raging, Ravening, Destroyer
Are Darkness And Death 
And 
Destruction 
And 
Everything Contrary To The Holy Word Of 
The Eternal God Of Grace Who Gives Life 
And 
Sheds The Light Of Life That 
Leads To Sure And Secure Soul Salvation 
Dearly Purchased For All Mankind! 

We Who Believe ... I Include You
- Because You Say That You're A Believer -
Accept The Giver ... Jesus Christ The Lord
And 
The Gift: We Are Nearing Home! 

Now Is Not The Time For You To Be Going Your Own Way
Doing Your Own Thing
And
Straying
Like You Have No Anchor For Your Purchased Soul! 

We Must Keep Walking In The Paths Of the Living God
Doing Good
Blessing Others
Pleasing God 
And 
Blessing Ourselves! 

Surpassing Glory Awaits The Enduring, Faithful, Obedient
Who Trust The Ever-Living One
And
His Everlasting Word
And
Are Sincerely Wise Unto Their Own Soul's Salvation!

May I Suggest That
You Tell Self, Sorry, Nor Sorry
I Need My Savior
Not You
Not Satan
Not Sin! 
It's Time For Sacrifice
If You Will To Receive
The Savior's Seal Of Approval! 

Sister, I Say To You, Today:
Done Deal! 

May The Lord In Mercy
By His Sweet Spirit
All Truth ... Present Truth
Lovingly Reveal! 

I Like Seals! 
Everything Is Marked Official 
Is Real, And Is Mine! 

I Like How You Think! 
Let's Pray For The Promised Perfect Peace!

I Know That One:
Jesus Christ Is Our Peace
And He Gives Us His Perfect Peace
Which Is Not As The World Gives!

You Know What!?!

What!?!

I Really Believe That You Are Going To Be All Right 
That You're Going To Make It ...!

... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN!!!

Follower Of Christ!



Ephesians 5:1-3King James Version (KJV)

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

I Am Not A Jesus Fanatic!
I Am Not A Jesus Freak!
I Am A Follower Of Jesus
AND
That Is Something About Which
I Do Not Need To Tweet!

It Is No Special Action!
It Is No Special Occasion!
It Is No Prize Event!
It Is A Statement Of Just Fact
AND
About Which
- God Always Willing -
I Shall Not Relent!

Fans And Freaks
Get Leased 
AND
Unleashed!
Followers Of Christ
Faithful
Walk Steady And Sure
AND
That, My Brother Sister
Is Something Quite Notable
For
All Committed
Obedient
Trusting
Worshiping
Enduring Followers
Will Follow Christ Jesus
- Rights Granted -
Right Through Heaven's Gate Door!

Any More Questions?!

No, No!

Are You Sure?!

PERSONAL PUZZLER: Living The Committed Christian Life

The Open Question:

What Would You Say To A Church Pastor

Who Is Proudly Gay
Who Speaks Proudly
Of What The He-God
Has Done
AND
Inspirationally
Of What The She-God Is Doing?

The American Gay Population Is Less Than 4%

Of The Total Population!
What Would You Say To A Heterosexual 
Bible-Thumping Pastor
Who Says That The Christian Church Would Die
Without The Gay Church Members/Musicians Who 
Presumptuously Live 
Unrepentantly
In Known Sin Before Almighty God?

How Would You Respond To The Charismatic Pastor

- With Immensely Convincing Oratorical Skills -
Who Says That
Loving, Living And Serving 
Are The Only Three Things
That A Modern Christian Is Required To Do?

What Of ...

Confession, Repentance, Obedience
Walking And Working In Faith?

What Of ... 
The Acquisition Of The Lord's
Meek And Gentle Spirit
Against Which There Is No Law?

What Of ...

The Aspiration Of Striving 
For To Achieve God's Glory?

What Of ...

The Renunciation Of Sin?

What Of ...

Living With The Hope
That Comes Of Faith That Works
Because Of Our Love Of The Lord Christ?

What About ...

Our Asking The Lord
For The Indwelling Of His Holy Spirit?

What About ... Denying Self?


What About ... 


  • Temperate Living?
  • Not Walking Wise In Our Own Eyes?
  • Denying The Liar?
  • Watching And Praying?
  • Not Holding On To Temporal Things?
  • Living To Send Up Riches To Glory?
  • Asking The Lord To Cleanse Us Of All Unrighteousness?
  • Wearing The Whole Armor Of God?
  • Beatitude Living?
  • Blessing God?


And ...


What About Thanking The Holy God 
For Our Blessings
Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unanticipated
Unappreciated
Unasked For
AND
Blessings Promised To Come?

Can We "Christians" Really Get All Of Our Lives

Into The Three Broad Categories Of:

Living
Loving
Serving

Without Following The Prescriptives Of The Living Word?

Remember:


If Something Does Not Have A Name

It Is Usually Rendered Unimportant!
AND
Just Saying Live, Love And Serve
Gives Us All The Opportunity 
To Forget To Remember
To Ignore
To Less Count
To Elevate
To Denigrate
To Gravitate
To Set Aside
To Glorify!

When You Know All That Is Required

You have No Excuse For Forgetfulness
Nor Disobedience!

Can A Committed Christian

Really Leave The Living Of His Life
To Man's Happenstance?

What Purpose Does Jesus Christ Serve 

In Your Life?

What Do YOU Say To All These Things?


The Apostle Paul Said:


Without The Law, I Would Not Know Sin.



I Say:

Without Our Closely Following

The Requirements For True Christian Living
We Will Fall For Any Thing
AND
Every Thing!

We Have Been Given A Blueprint

A Blueprint For Living Christ's Life
AND
If We Will Follow It Closely
We Will Survive Earth's Strife!

We Are To:

Read The Bible 
AND Pray
Watch
Work In Faith
Humble Ourselves
Deny The Adversary Every Which Way
Lift Up The Lord
Remove The Beam From Our Own Eyes
Get God's Eye Salve
Get God's Gold
Get God's White Linen
AND
Put Oil In Our Lamps
AND
Accept Provided Grace
Accept The Given Faith
AND
Accept Free Offer Of Salvation
Strive To Be Redeemed
AND
Leaning On Christ ... Endure The Struggle
AND
Let The Holy Spirit Lead!

We Are Also Called Upon To:

Entertain Strangers
Love The Lord
Love Our Brother As We Love Ourselves
Walk The Straight And Narrow Way
Let Our Heart Be Fertile Ground
Let Good Angels Influence Us To Do Good
Stand On The Rock Of Ages
Stand On The Promises Of God
Reach Out To Jesus
Let Jesus Hold Our Hand

AND ...
We Are Encouraged To:

Get Victory Over Sin Through Jesus
Go On The Narrow Road With Straight Walking
Use Soft Answers To Turn Away Wrath
Not Be A Fool
Be Wise Unto Salvation
Don't Indulge A Double Mind
AND
Live For The Lord
For, In This, Is Great Reward!

The Great Question
That Needs The Simple Answer
From A Spirit-Lead Conscience
Is

Does Just Living
Loving
And
Serving
- A Doctrine Of Fallen Man -
Serve The Purpose
In Your Call To Jesus Christ
- The Savior God -
Who Died
To Save You?
