HAPPY SABBATH + The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays!





 






The Acquisition Of Knowledge Costs: 
The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays! 

Jesus Christ Saves:
We Know For Sure That He Saves! 

Of What Use Is Your Knowledge Of 
Jesus Christ's Free-To-You Salvation 
If 
You Don't, Can't, Won't Use It To Save Your Own Soul 
And 
Bless Others!?! 

With Knowledge Should Come Conviction! 
With Conviction Should Come Conversion! 
Conversion Leads To A Change Of Direction! 
The Changed Direction 
Should Lead To The Desired Destination Of 
The Forever-Blessed! 
The Forever-Blessed Shall Reside In Zion
The City Of The God Glorious! 

I Beseech Us All, Beloved, 
To Go For The Gold That 
Is 
Tried In The Fire Of Affliction 
Which Will Leave Us Pure, Undefiled, Blessed
And 
Sealed Against The Day Of Destruction
The Great Day Of Small Things
The Day Of Deliverance! 

Please Pray For Me As I Pray For You: 
The Effective Fervent Pray Of 
A Righteous Man, Woman And Child 
Availeth Aka Accomplishes Much! 

The Lord, Our God, Does Indeed See Us! 
May This Knowledge Help Us 
To See Him In The Beauty Of Holiness 
And 
Bless Us To Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Life 
So Expensively Purchased For Each Of Us Individually!

Peace!

AVOCATION: Praying! + PRAYER: Father, We Bless You For This Day!





I Paint!
I Solve Puzzles!
I Build Miniatures!
In Baking, I Delight!

What About You, Marvay!?!
What Is Your Hobby!?!

I Pray!

Come On!
Praying Is Not A Hobby!

Well, It Should Be!

Oh!?!
Why Do You Say That!?!

Let Me Ask You A Question!

Okay! Ask Away!

How Much Time Do You Daily Spend In Praying!?!
Answer Honestly!

Five Minutes!
Half An Hour!
Fifteen Minutes!
Sometimes I Forget!

Okay! Okay!
Now Tell Me How Much Time You Daily Spend
Indulging, Learning, Growing, Sharing
Advancing Your Hobby!

I Spend Hours On End!
I Spend Four To Five Hours A Day, Every Day!
When I'm Off Work, My Hobby Is All That I Do!I Spend Every Spare Hour I Can!

Alright!
Do You Feel Blessed To Have Your Hobby!

I Know I Am Blessed! It Helps Me Destress!
It Keeps Me Sane!
It's My Quiet Time!
It Gives Me Pleasure!

'Evening, Everybody!
Sorry To Be Late!
What's Our Topic This Evening!?!

'Evening Macy!
Hobbies And Praying!

Fair Enough!

What's Your Hobby, Macy!?!

Carpentry!
I Build Bird Houses!

Does Your Hobby Bring You Closer To Jesus!?!

It Sure Does!
As I Work, I Think On Jesus
And When I Do, I Enter Into Prayer!
I Like This Alone Time!
I Can Set Aside Self
And
In Jesus, I Rest!

How Long Do Spend Communicating With The Creator
The Source Of Our Strength!?!

I Can Spend Hours
And
I Do Not Feel The Time Pass!
I Am Happy In The Lord
And
Have No Time For The Fraud!

I Can Tell You, True
Praying Is My Real Hobby ...!

... Gracious!
Not You, Too!

Why Do You Say That!?!

Marvay, Here, Says Praying Should Be A Hobby!

I Will Agree With Him!
I Say That He's Right!
Praying Is A Blessing
A Gift From The Master
And
In Its Indulgence
We Should Take Special Delight!

Praying Lifts Us Up
To The Throne Room Of Heaven!
Praying Takes Us To That Most Holy Place
Where We Cannot In Flesh Hope To Enter
But
Where We, By Praying
Can Rid Ourselves Of Our Defilements
Our Disgrace
And
Make Petition For Favor
And
Tell The Lord Of Our Hopes And Our Joys!!

I Pray For Rain
And
I Pray For Power
To Lower My Self And Lift Up The Lord!

I Pray For Others
My Friends, My Brethren!
I Pray Constantly
For The People Of The Holy God!
I Pray For The Children
The Old, The Lost, The Lonely!
I Pray Even For My Enemies In My Way!

I Pray For The Leaders Of The Church
The Family And The Government!
I Pray For Peace
And
For The Coming Of The Lord
Soon On His Way!

I Pray For The Outpouring
And
For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit!
I Pray For My Complete Conversion
And
That Of All The Brethren!

I Pray That I Can Hold Fast
To The Hand Of The Holy Jesus
And
I Pray To Rise Up To Glory
When The Last Trumpet Shall Blast!

Oh, My! 

I Never Considered This Side Of Praying!
This Is, Indeed, Something That Is Good!

If Praying ... The Gift
Is Acknowledged As The True Blessing It Is
And
Becomes Known As" The Soul-Healing Hobby"
- The Strength Never Weak -
We Could Neuter Satan
So That His Arm Against Us Would Always List!

Here's A Thought ...

People Are Happiest Indulging Their Hobbies
Always Wanting Just Five Minutes More
So If We Numbered Praying As The Hobby Desirable
You Can Be Sure
People Will Readily Equip Themselves Readily
To Talk With The Holy God!

The Lord Already Told Us That!?!

Yes, Indeed, He Did!
He Gave Us A Model Prayer!
He Said Pray ... Without Ceasing!
He Encourages Us ... In All All Things
By Prayer And Supplication
With Thanksgiving
To Make Our Requests Known Unto God!

I Love It! Let's Pass This Thought All Along The Line!

Brethren,
I Am Indeed So Inclined!

PRAYER:

Father,
We Love You!
We Bless You For This Day!
We Thank You For All Our Blessings!
Please Accept Our Gift Of Prayer!

We Come To You Expectant!
We Come To You In Faith!
We Come To You Believing!
We Trust You And Your Holy Word We Share!

Have Mercy Upon Us Who Pray
And
Grant Us Our Few Petitions
For
We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of
The Holy Jesus
Our Maker, Our God
And
Soon Coming King!
AMEN.

Choosing Paltry Passing Profit Over Humble Praise And True Worship!?!

Too Self-Sufficient
And
Humble Teachable Spirit
Are Christians And Pastors
Who Live Their Appellations
As They Work For Jesus Christ The Lord!
They Share A Congregation!
 
Too Self-Sufficient 
Is The Charismatic Fast-Talking Junior Pastor
Whose Philosophy For Soul-Winning Is:

The Ends Justify The Means!


Humble Teachable Spirit 
Stands On The Living Word Of 
The Word Who Is Jesus Christ The Holy Lord!

One Of Them Is, Indeed, A Learner
Willing To Submit Himself To The Molding Of
The Great Teacher!

The Other Is A Great Hindrance
To The Furtherance Of The Gospel
Whilst At One And The Same Time
He Is The Great Favorite
- Some Call Him A Pet -
Of Faithful Souls Congregation!

Humble Teachable Spirit
Is As Unlike Too Self-Sufficient
As Chalk Is From Cheese!
Humble Teachable Spirit Has A Heart
Totally Submitted To Almighty God
And
Under No Circumstance
Does He Seek To Enlarge His Stature
By Lowering The Stature Of The Lord Christ!

By Great Contrast
Too Self-Sufficient
- Completely Satisfied With His Vast
And Cerebral Knowledge Of Christ's Christianity -
Seeks At Every Turn To Insinuate Himself
Between Men's Souls And Their Savior!

He Is A Whirling Dervish
Who Acts Like A Circus Clown
Speaks Like A United Nation's Diplomat
Reasons Like A Wall Street Banker-Broker
And Commiserates Like The Old-Time Family Physician!

He Thinks He Can Make Satan
- Like A Tame Dog -
Happily Lie Down!

He Is A Peacock 
Who Lives The Reverse-Robin Hood Life 
With Himself Being On The Receiving End Of 
The Congregation's Loving Largesse!

Humble Teachable Spirit
Often Offends
- Often Greatly Offends The Congregation -
Because
His Simple, Always Available To The Lord Attitude
Indicts Them For Their Wayward
Delighted-By-The-World Willfulness!
He Is The Burr Under Their Saddle
The Pebble In Their Shoe
The Blister On Their Toe
The Stye On Their Eye
The Questioner Who Causes The Lump 
To Form In Their Throats
The One Who Makes Them Question 
The Professed Reason For Their Hope!

In Short
He Makes Them Uncomfortable In Their Own Skin
While Too Self-Sufficient
- Who Feels He Is The Second-Coming - 
Causes Them To Believe He Is Sufficient 
To Gratify Their Carnal Lusts And Itching Ears!

The Setup Was A Recipe For Sure Disaster!

Did You Know That Disaster 
Is Always Preceded By 
The  Doubter's Raucous Laughter!?!

It Must Be Said ...

When A Man Sees Self
He Cannot See The Savior
And
If You Can't See The Savior
You Cannot See Your Sin!

A Self-Sufficient Pastor
Is
Easy Prey For The Raging Lion
And
Too Self-Sufficient
- The Worldly-Wise Hireling Shepherd -
Was Playing Par For The Course
When He Had With His Thought-Dead Conscience
A Muy Uncomfortable Discourse!

He Had Been Playing Fast And Loose
With Jesus Christ's Faith!

He Had Just Finished Fluffing His Bank Book
When Inquiry Was Made By His Spirit
And He
- Not Easily Spooked By, In His Thinking, A Phantasm -
Was Having None Of It!

Where Is Your Shame!?! 
What, Really, Is Your Life's Work!?! 
Weren't You Called To Serve The Savior!?!
Why Do You With The Devil Flirt!?!


You Can't Serve Almighty God And Mammon!
You Can't Belong To Heaven And To Hell!
You Can't Feed The People Self, Sin And Salvation
And
Believe That For You Things Will Go Well!


Spooked, He Shook Himself Roundly!
Afraid, He Sought Relief By Counting The Days To His Next Payday
But, ConscienceActivated By The Holy Spirit
Was Through Being A Patsy
A Companion In The Game Of Life
For Fleeting Profit!

His Conscience Was Shook
And
His Self
- Normally Winsomely Wayward -
Was Suddenly On Fire
And
Ever So Brightly Lit!

There Was No Rest For The Wicked!
His Home Was No Haven Of Rest
And
His Prepared Sermon Was Taunting Him
As Was The Music Playing
On His Heirloom Gramophone!

Stuff And Nonsense!
Stuff And Nonsense!
My Minds Is Playing Tricks On Me
Is What I Say! 

I am Lord Of My Own Life!
I Am Rich In Goods!
There Is Nothing Else That I Need!
The Bible Is The Tool Of My Trade
So When I Put It Down
I Can Do What I Want
And From This Guilty Conscience 
I Will Walk Away!

Bedroom Living Room
Bathroom Car
Inside Outside
Self And Guilty Conscience 
Did Viciously Spar!

Man Can Run
Man Can Even Hide From His Problems
But
Man Cannot From A Guilty Conscience Hide!

It Must Be Said ...

If A Man's Conscience
Can Still Disturb His Peace
It Is Because There Is Still Hope For Him
That From The Ways Of Sinning
By God's Grace
He Will Assuredly Leave!

Too Self-Sufficient's Conscience 
Had Not Yet Become Seared
With A Hot Iron!

Brethren,
Please, I Beseech
When Your Conscience Awakes You
To Matters Of Gravitas
Pay Attention
Give Thanks To The Living God
And
Get To Fixing What Ails Your Soul!

The Truth Must Be Spoken ...

The Spirit Of The Living God
Convinces Men Of Sin
Convinces Men Of Salvation
And
Convinces Men Of Judgment!

If You Do Not Stifle Your Conscience
The Spirit Of The Living God
- The Comforter -
Can Do A Good Work In And With You!

Too Self-Sufficient Was About To Have
A "When Thou Art Converted
Help The Brethren!"
Moment!

All I Can Tell You About That Moment
Is That The Next Time
Too Self-Sufficient Appeared Before 
The Faithful Souls Congregation
He Was A Changed Man:

He Had Shock Of White Hair At The Front Of His Head!
There Was Fire In His Eye!
There Was Thunder In His Voice!
There Was Real Purpose In His Walk!

He Is A Changed Man On A Grave Mission
And
As He Said
He Was Not Ever Again Going To Be Diverted!

Hear Him Speak:

Brethren Beloved,
I Owe You An Apology
And I Give It From My Heart
Newly Broken For My Jesus!
I Am Newly Out From Walking In The Dark!
I Had An Encounter With The Lord Of Life!

Brethren,
I Had To Make The Decision:
Walk With The Lord Of Life Solely
And In His Living Light
Or
Dance With The Devil Wholly
And Become A Gross Creature Of The Night!

I Used To Try To Do Both
And By So Doing
I Was Endangering Not Just My Soul
- My Bought And Paid For Soul -
But Your Precious Souls Also!

The Loving Forgiving
Just And Holy Faithful God Of Heaven
Was Not Well-Pleased With Me Because
My Careless Thoughtless Willful Wayward
Utterly Selfish Actions
Were Crucifying The Lord Christ Afresh!

The "I" In Christ Was My Eye!
Eye Had Seen Self And Satisfaction
Success And Security
Power And Prestige
Access And Ascension!

I Was A Pulpit Pimp
And A Temporal Prosperity Purveyor And Purchaser!
I Did Not See The True Pearl Of Great Price!

I Saw The Rich Religious-Pie
And I Whole-Heartedly Desired
More Than One Slice!

To My Great Shame
I Looked Lovingly At You
Spoke Kindly To You
And Cherished Your Association Because
You Made My Bank Balance Look Real Nice!

I Have Confessed My Known Sin
And I Have Given My Soul's Sincere Repentance 
To The Eternal God
And I Have Asked With Many Tears Of Contrition
For His Forgiveness And My Own Soul's Needed Cleansing
And I Sincerely Apologize To You
And Ask For Your Forgiveness
And A Second Chance
To Right My Wrongs
And To Do The Good That The Lord Called Me To Do!

I Have Seen The Light Of Life!
I Believe The Truth That Is The Gospel
And There Is A New And Heavy Burden In My Heart
For The Souls Of Lost Men
And, I 
- Renewed, Remade, Regenerated
Converted To The Lord Christ
And The Way Of Salvation -
Am Eager To Work
To Tell You About The Real God

The Great Controversy
And The Fight For Eternal Life
And Help To Get Us And Keep Us All
On The Strait And Narrow Path
That Will Lead Us All To The Realm Of The Blessed
Where There Is Eternal Peace
And Sweet Rest!

He Ended His Discourse By Humbly Saying:

Lord, I Am Available To You!
Brethren, I Am At Your Disposal!
May God's Great Grace
Be Ever Sufficient For Us All!
Thank You, Kindly, For Listening!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONVICTION: Conversion!?! + PRAYER: I Will To Reach Home, Lord!

The Soul Convicted Needs To Walk To Conversion
But
The Journey Is Not One Called Easy!
The Soul Unconverted Likes Things Easy
Because Then
He Could Do As He Was Well Pleased!
... Sorta!

The One Convicted Knows That Something In His Life Was Wrong!
The One Convicted Knows That With Conversion
He Would Against Sin
Be Bold And Strong
But
The Struggling Convicted Does Not Want To Cross The Bar
Because Then
He Would Have To Close Willing Willful Sin's Door
Which, For Him
Had Always Hung Kindly And Welcomingly Ajar!
... Supposedly!

Nobody Has To Walk Through Known Sin's Door!

I'll Go Further And Say That
Nobody Has To Eat Confusion Out Of Babel's Shiny Glass Jar!
Nobody Has To Stay In A Pickle
Drunk
At Do What Thou Wilt's Grill And Bar
Because, Then
The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ Will Be
For That Poor Soul
A Sacrifice ... Wasted!

Ah, The Fruits Of Salvation That He Could Have Tasted!

Truth Be Told ...

Conversion Is A Corner
Where
Decisions Must Be Made!
Conversion Is A Bed
Where
A New Birth Will Take Place!
Conversion, Friends
Is 
A New Life
With Disgrace Removed
From The Saved Child's Face!

As You Well Know ...

Giving Birth Ain't Easy!
Labor And Pain Are Involved!

Giving Birth Ain't Easy
And
It's Messy!
You Are Praying ... A Lot
And
Crying ... Real Hard
And
Sweating ... Copiously
Is
Always Involved!
Sometimes 
Even The Inappropriate Bad Word, Bad Word
For Some People
Is
Decidedly Involved!

Like It Or Not ...

You Can't Keep In The Baby
So You Might As Well Give Birth!

If You Accept That Jesus Christ Is Calling
You Might As Well Accept That There Is
The New Birth!
The Brand New Life!

Indeed! 
It Is A Necessity
For
The Issue Of The Rancidness And Rapacity Of Sin
And
The Efficacy Of The Delicacy That Is Salvation
Must
- Once And For All Time -
Be Resolved!

A Man Can't Eat Rancid!

I Don't Want To Be Unfair-Sin's Prey!

With That Said
Living In Conversion 
Would Obviously Be In Order, Right!?!

Sure Looks That Way!

But De Pain! De Pain!

The Growth In Grace!

Narrow Roads On Hard Shoes!

Gospel Of Truth Make Hard Shoes Loose!

Deprivation And Denial!

For Your Sins
Jesus Christ The Righteous Suffered
At An Unfair Trial!

Better Conversion
Than The Eternal God's Wrath In Golden Vials!

Repent, Brethren
And
Thereby
Negate Your Base Denials!
Be Baptised
And
Walk In The Newness Of Life
Even Though There Will Be Personal Trials!

From Conviction
To Conversion
What A Walk To Life That Is!

From Conviction
To Conversion
From Death To Life
- Eternal Life -
The Life With Christ
Is 
Worth The Struggle
For, Then
Your Heart With The Lord Christ's Heart
Will ... Forever
Snuggle!

I'll Be Forever Out From Under
Satan's Death-Grip Muzzle!

The Love Of Christ
Will Have Changed My Deceitful Heart
And I Will, By Grace
The Plan's Of Wily Devil
Well And Truly Scuttled!

Let's Not Be Stubble!

Who's Ready Rumble!?!

I'm In!

All The Way In!

Let's Pray In Jesus Christ's Name
For The Victory 
For Which He Has Already Paid!
The Victory For Us Already Won!

Let's Each Pray For Our Personal Sure Win!

I Second That!

Brethren, We Are In Agreement!
No More Visiting
The Doctor Of Spin!



PRAYER:

I Humble Myself
Under Your Mighty Hand, Lord
Because
It Is My Desire
To Attain Unto The Great Reward!
Save Me!

Please Help Me, I Beseech You
To Be Truly Converted
To The Lord Jesus Christ
And
To Depart The Ways Of Sin
To Get Out From Under
The Demonic Device!
Seal Me!

I Believe The Word, Father!
I Trust In The Truth!
I Will To Walk With My Jesus!
I Desire Eternal Youth!
Redeem Me!

I Thank You For The Love Given!
I Thank You For The Grace Bestowed!
I Thank You For The Mercies New
And
Beseech You
Help Me Moment By Moment
Daily!
Help Me To Spiritually Grow!
I Will Glorify Thee!

I Will To Reach Home
And
Live Forever At Peace With You
Is My Heart's Pitiful Plea!
Hear, Oh, Lord
And
Bless
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Pray!
Let The Spirit Of The Lord
Fall Upon Me!
AMEN.

CONGREGATION: Who Is In Control?!





Any Religion
That Permits Adherents To Indulge
In Selfish Or Sensual Gratification
Is As Pleasing To The Multitudes Today
As When The Israelites Were In The Desert
AND
There Are Many Pastors Working
Just Like Aaron Of Old
- Before He Was High Priest -
Weak-Willed
AND
Self-Serving
Who Pander To The Desires
Of The Unconverted
The Mixed-Multitude
Those Loud Ones
Bold
AND
Leads Them Blood Hot
Into Plain Sin Cold!

Loud Voices
Make No One Right
Just Because
They Are Willing
Someone Off The Face Of The Earth
To Wipe
AND
We Who Choose
To Stand In The Breaches
On The Word Of The Lord
Should Be Ready To Do Battle
IF 
We Will To Walk With God
In Accord!

Really?!
You Should Know Better
Than To Encourage
The People Of God
To Indulge In Physical Battle!

I Never Said Anything About Physical Battle!

But You Said:
" ... Ready To Do Battle!"
And That, My Friend
Means Fight!

Come Onnnnn!
Now YOU Should Know Better
For
The Weapons Of Our Warfare
Are Spiritual
Not Physical
AND
Those Who Rise Up
With Arms In Hand
Are Unconverted
Unchristian
Unusual!

Don't You Remember...
Not By Might
Nor By Power
BUT
By My Spirit
Says The Lord Of Hosts?!

And What About  ...




Those Who Go On The Great Commission
Should Be Men Of Integrity
Willing Able And Capable
To Issue The Stern Rebuke
Unmindful Of The Backlash
The Fallout
The Friend Spurn
AND
Trusting The Word Of God
Should Not
To The Left
Nor To The Right
Turn!

God's Justice Is Sure
Even Though It Is Often Not Swift
AND
Even In This
Man - By Choice -
Out Of The Dust Of Degradation
His Own Soul May Uplift
By Acknowledging The Sin
By Going To God In Contrition
To Repent
AND Thereby
The Sure Hand Of Justice
From Undiluted Vengeance
Through Mercy
From The Death Decree
Shall Relent!

God's Promises Are True!
God's Ways Are All Right!
AND
The End Of God's Return On Your Investment
Is
Eternally Out Of Sight!

Tasks To Be Performed
May Be Unpleasant
BUT
Lest Ye Forget
They May Be There To Test You
So
Think Always Of The Crucible
AND
Do Exactly
What The Good Lord
Gently Asks Of You!

I Bid You Think Of The Before-Conversion Aaron
Ever Willing To Please
BUT
Man-Pleaser That He Was
Caused The Death Of 3,000 Persons
Who Were Cut Down Like Trees
AND
Though In This Day
The Death Toll Is Not In An Apparent Instant
The Outcome Will Be The Same
So
Pastors
Preachers
Teachers Priests
Look To Yourselves
AND
Ask God
For A Converted Heart
I Beseech You
On Bended Knees!

Take The Exam
And
By And In Jesus' Faith
Pass The Test
And
In Jesus Christ's Peace
Be Blessed
And
Forever Rest!

HAPPY SABBATH + Reconverted Converted Christian!?!










There Is A Contentious Matter In Christendom
Regarding
Conversion
Reconversion
AND
Real Christian Christianity
Which
Causes Christians
To Behave Un-Christian
AND
Causes Non-Christians To Curse
Called-Christians' Un-Christlike Christianity!

Wow!
That's A Mouthful!
And ... True!

Look At Sin!
Sin Transgresses God's Law!
All Men Sin
Ergo
All Men Are Sinners!

Sinners Need Forgiveness!
Forgiveness Comes From God

AND
You Need Christ To Get To God!

Christ IS The Bridge
The Stairway
To Reach God!

How Do You Get To Jesus!?

Hear The Word!
Faith Comes By Hearing
The Word Of The Lord!
The Word Says We Need A Savior
AND
The Holy Spirit Calls Us!

Our Savior Is Jesus Christ!
We Must Believe That He Is Who He Says That He Is!
We Must Believe He Can Do
What He Says He Will Do!

You Gotta Acknowledge Your Sin
And Repent And Confess!

What Has That Got To Do
With Conversion And  Reconversion?!
How Does One Get From Being Converted
To Being In Need Of Reconversion?!

We Have A Couple Of Things Going On Here:

A Convert Who Was Never Truly Heart Converted
AND
A True Convert
Who Became Complacent
AND
"Lapsed" Into Sin!
Planned Sin aka Iniquity

Which Is A Real Problem
Because
One Can Turn Away From The Obvious!

Let's Start With
Be Careful Ye That Think Ye Stand ... Lest Ye Fall
AND
Work Out Your Own Salvation 
With Fear And Trembling!

Question:
Who Was A Shepherd
Warrior Psalmist King Sweet Singer Prophet
Man After God's Own Heart?


David, Son Of Jesse!

Question:
Who Became A Lying
Fornicating Adulterer
Murderer Who Indulged
The Poisoned Pen
To Kill A Mighty Man
Who Had Been
His Faithful Friend?!

King David, Son Of Jesse!

Did David Love God?
Was David - From His Youth -
A Valiant Warrior
Zealous For God's Name?


Yes!
King David Poured Out
His Whole Heart
In Praise And Adoration
Of His God
And He Had Even Put His Life On The Line

With That Giant
- Goliath Of Gath -
As His Proof Of Love His Lord!

So You Would Say That
David Believed In
Submitted Himself To
AND
Loved Trusted
Obeyed Worshipped
Praised Glorified
Preached 

AND
Taught Of God
So That Made Him A "Converted Christian!?" 

Yes, I Would!

So, Pray Tell ...

How You Would Explain
Shepherd David
Going From The Joyful Confidence Of Psalm 23
To The Sorrow Of Repentance Of King David In Psalm 51
To The Jubilation Of Restoration Found In Psalm 32?!


He ...!
Well ...!
I Don't Know!

Let Me Help You:

Shepherd David Met God
In Nature
In The Hills Of Judah!

He Humbly Sought After His God!

King David Met Satan
On The Rooftop Of A Palace In Jerusalem!
He Revelled In His Fleshy Powers And Prowess!

King David Reacquainted Himself With His God
In The Agony Of Repentance 
On His Face Before God 
- After The Death Of Two Innocents -
As A Consequence Of His Blighted Actions!


Bottom Line ...

King David Truly Loved God
BUT ... 

The Wandering Lust In His Eye
Motivated By The Puffed-Up Pride In His Life
Lubricated By The Biting Lust Of His Flesh
Blinded Him
To The Light Of Life
AND
He Blinked
AND
Lost
His Link To Redeeming Love!


Thankfully, Though ...

Upon Being Severely Chastised
AND
Being Made Aware Of His Sure Punishment
King David's Godly Sorrow For Sin

ANDConfession Of Error
AND
Repentance For Wrongdoing
- With Real Tears Of Contrition -
Caused The Cleansing His Eyes
AND
The Restoration Of His Sight
So That - Again -
He Could See The Light Of Life!
AND

He Held On
- Never Again To Let Go -
To His Soul's Savior
The Very Savior
That Christians Today
Are Interpreting
Reinterpreting
Reinventing
Remolding
Recasting

AND
Casting Out Of Christ's Christianity!

There Is One Living God!
One Redeeming Christ!
One Chiding, Comforting Holy Spirit!
One Way To The Everlasting Father
AND
One Constant Call To Sure Salvation
While

Mercy's Door Is Still Open For Business!

Since We Need Mercy
That Obviously Means That There Is Justice!
Since There Is Justice
That Obviously Means There Is Sin (Crime)!


Sin Transgresses God's Law
BUT
The God Of Love
IS
Also The God Of Mercy
AND
Sorrowful Repentance
- Not Excuses
- Not Small Man-Made Plasters On Festering Wounds
Will Bring Us Reconciliation
To The Almighty
All-Knowing
Always Present
Can't-Be-Surprised
King Of Glory!

The Problem, Though ...

Modern Christianity
Does Not Hold With
Acknowledging Sin 

Unto Confession
Unto Repentance
Unto Reconciliation
Unto Promised

AND
Sure Salvation
By Righteousness Aka Right Living
AND
Walking With God By Faith
AND
That Is Why
Conversion
Reconversion
Is An Issue For Today
AND
Why So Many Christians
Contentedly Say:


Many Men!
Many Minds!

Let's Be Kind
And
Lift Up The Common Good
Because
Our God Who Made Us
Has Always
Our Mere Men Ways
Understood!
It's All Good!

May The Only True God
Save Us

From Our Sinful Selves!
Every Individual 

Needs A Committed 
AND
Personal Relationship
With
The Only Living Holy Saving Redeeming God
Who Can Remake Us
In His Own Holy Image
Despite What The Doctors Of The Church
Adhering To The Traditions Of Men
Now Say!!



Are You Truly Converted To Jesus Christ?
