The Soul Hopes!

The Bread Of God Is Christ Jesus!
The Bread Of God Is Free!
The Bread Of God Is Available ... Now
- To All Mankind -
So Believe It
And
Receive It
If 
On The Dying World
On The Great Day
You Desire Not To Be Left Behind!

Hear The Truth ...

There Is No Point To Belief In Jesus Christ
If
There Is No Trust!
There Is No Point To Receiving The Blessings Of God
If
To Your Fellowman You Will Not Share
Even The Husks
The Fallen From Your Hands, Crumbs!
To The Plight
To The Salvation Of Others
Please Do Not Be Dumb!
To Their Need Do Not Be Numb!

We Must Impart Aka Share The Wealth
If
From The Destructive Hand Of Satan
We Desire Not To Be Overcome By Stealth!
Remember That The Word Of God
Is 
To The Bones Great Health!

What Is Shared Grows!

The Facts Stand ...

Man Cannot See The Father
Unless He Sees Jesus Christ His Son
And
It Is In Our Best Interests That
Unto Our Savior 
We, With Alacrity, Run! Run! Run!


You're Smart ...

But

Will You Be Wise Unto Salvation!?!
Will You Your Own Soul Save!?!
Do You Desire To Reap The Choicest Blessing, Brethren!?!
Then For Life And Against Sin
To Our Loving Master
You Need To Sincerely Cave!?!

You Must Surrender!
You Must Submit!
You Must Give Up Sin!
You Must To The Lord Give In!

It Ain't Easy ...

Life Can Be Hard!
Grace Is Available!

Faith Can Tremble!
Mercy Is Free!

Sense Goes On Vacation!
Wisdom Does Not!

Wanton Fear Is Forceful!
Godly Fear Is Not!

Hope Springs Eternal
For Anyone Who By Living Faith
The Heavenly Gifts Receive
And
Only Those With Obedient
Enduring-All-Things Faith
Shall Residence In The Bright Mansions Achieve!

Hold On ...

Relief Is On The Wing For The Faithful
The Few
The Brave
And
Only Those Who Are Self-Denying
Those With The New Man
Aka The New Heart
Shall The Condemned Earth Triumphantly Depart!

Give Someone A Lil' Piece ...

Share Your Blessing!
Share Your Faith!
Freely Ye Have Received From The Storehouse Of Heaven
So Give A Seeking Brother, Sister, Friend, Foe
A True Sweet-Treat
So That From The Pharisee Leaven
- The Leaven That Is Sin -
They Shall Not Suffer The Awful Defeat!

Help Them To Cast Off The Stench Of The Goat
To Rid Their Bellies Of Cherished Sin
That Does The Carnal Soul Bloat
Leading Them To Build Boats
That Cannot On The Lake Of Fire Float
And
Condemning Then ... As Satan
Who Can Sing Beautifully
But 
Cannot Now Utter A Single Heavenly Note!

Goats Don't Hope!
Sheep Don't But!
Sheep Live In The Safe Fold
And
Unrepentant, 
Unconverted, Goats
At The Appointed Time
Shall Desire To Feel Cold!
Their Denials Of The Christ
Will No Longer Be Bold!

Look Up ... And Live ...

Get Thee Hence Unto Jesus!
Be Bold!
Be Blessed!
Be Eternally Saved!
Make Heaven Your Soul's Sole Goal
And
You, Glorified
Shall Wear A Christ-Given Crown Of Purest Gold!

What Awaits The Children Of God
The Half Has Not Be Told!

Hope Thou In Jesus Christ The Lord!

Sin Stains: Salvation Builds Saints + PRAYER: I Confess My Well-Known Sins, Father!

Disappointment, Denial, Distress, Delay
Hope, Help, Folly, Fear
Salvation, Grace, Mercy
Peace, Rest
And
Importunate Prayer
Stood Around The Old Saint
Who Knew The Stain Of Sin
But
Having Given Self To The Savior
Was Walking Boldly In Him!

Hear Her ... In The Power Of Tested Faith, Speak:

My Eyes Saw Expressed Lies!
My Ears Felt The Burn Of Hate!
My Body Was Headed To Lost Man's Fate
And I, Having Lived For Self
By Self
Outside Of Self-Denial
Had To Face The Fact Truthfully That
- At Last -
I Was On Trial!

How To Go Forward!?!
Do I Dare Look Back!?!

I Remembered Righteous Lot's Wife
And Said To Myself:

"Don't Do That!"


I Remembered King Saul
King Solomon
King David
Apostle Paul
And I Thought Of Doubting Thomas
Who Was Rebuked By Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Thought Of High Priest Eli
High Priest Prophet Aaron
Judge Priest Prophet Old Samuel
And That Is When It Dawned On Me
Why Those Who Were Saved, Were Saved
And Those Who Were Lost Were Surely Bound For Hell!

For A Moment
I Indulged Rationalization:
I Was No Bigger Sinner Than Yon Brother Sister!

I Tried Justification:
What Did He Want From Me
Who Was A Mere Child Of The Dust!?!

I Next Tried Fatalism:
What Must Must, Must Must!

And, Then
- Resigned To Reality -
I Tried Confession
Repentance
Contrition:

PRAYER:

Father,
I Confess My Well-Known
Well-Loved Sins! 
I Give Them Unto You
For I Know To You
They Are Truly Heart-Breaking!


They Have Been Unto Me
Body Blows
Well-Able ... Unchecked
Surely To Destroy My Soul
And, So, I Surrender
I Repent
I'm From Sin Turning Away
And I Am Making A Covenant With You
To Walk In Your Holy Light
Committed To Your Eternal Cause
To Love You First
To Trust You To Heal Me Of All My Flaws
To Rely Upon You For The New Heart Of Flesh
To Talk With You About Everything
To Stay On The Path That For Me You Prepare
To Destroy All The False Gods That
From You Would Take Me Away
To Bless You With My Faithfulness
To Tell The World The Gospel Truth
And
To Live And Die By The "Thus Saith Lord!"
To Be With You Always In One Accord!


Father,
I Am A Sinner-Saved
A Child, Blessed
A Servant, Favored!
Help Me To A Spiritual Success
Looking With Wisdom Upon The Things Of My God
And Desperately Despising
The Things Of Satan, The Arch-Deceiver
That Bold Liar, Murderer
He Who Desires The Appointed Worship Of
The One Eternal Holy God!


I Am A Child: Lead Me!
I Am A Servant: Dispatch Me!
I Am A Student: Instruct Me!
You Are My God!
I Know That You Sacrificially Love Me
And, For This
It Is My Desire
To Covenant With You ... By Sacrifice!


And, Father
If It Is Your Desire Of My Life
- With You Leading The Way
And Holding My Hand -
I Am Willing To Be A Sacrifice For My Lord!


You Have Promised Me Eternal Life!
When I Die ... In Jesus Christ
I Will Get Up
And Rise Up To Him
When He Comes
To Forever Share His Glorious Life!


Father,
Please Help Me To Prepare
To Dare To Share ... Without Fear
The Truth That Unto Man Your Word Declares!
Help Me To Hold You Always In Godly Fear!


Brethren, The Christ-Like Life
Is No Cake-Walk
No Walk In The Park
No Clown Car Funny!

Desperation Wants To Dance In Your Head!
Defeat Wants To Take You To Bed!
Distrust Wants To Encourage You It's Cake To Eat
And
Gainsaying Wants You To Milk Its Teats
But
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!
Thank God For Christ Jesus Who
All Our Sorrows Know:

We Have The Comfort Of
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
The Advocate With The Father
From Whom No Created Being
Can Ever Cut Us Loose!

Whatever Your Sorrow
Your Pain
Your Shame
Your Need
Your Worry
Believe, Love, Trust
Honor, Worship
And
Enduringly Obey!

Let No Creature Shake Your Faith:

The Word Of Almighty God
Is Eternal
Is Perfect
Is True
Is Blessedly Good
For Me And For You! 


Start From A Position Of Power:

Almighty God 
Is
Faithful!
His Word Cannot Fail!
Praying In Faith Is Powerful!
Jesus Christ Is Coming To Earth Again!
Working Faith Can Move Your Life's Mountains

But

Doubt ... By A Lifetime's Labor
Will Never Get A Mountain 
To Walk Away Or Move Around!

Brethren, Beloved
My Charge To You Is This:

You Don't Have To Follow 
Where The World Blindly Leads!

In Faith, For Love, With Hope
Follow Jesus Christ
Who Is The Way
The Truth For The Age
The Light Of Life
The Life-Giver Of Man!

Please, I Beseech You
Accept The Offer Of Life Everlasting
By Accepting
And
Attaching Yourself
To The Lovingly Extended All-Powerful Hand!
You Will Rest Finally ... And Forever
In Beulah
- The Beautiful Land -
Where The Water Of The River Of Life 
Is 
Ever Sweet!

OXYMORON: Nominal Christianity






A Nominal Christian
Is One Who Says
Give Us Your Name
For
For Our Bread And Clothing
We Can Ourselves Pay!

A Nominal Christian
Is One Whose Walk With The Lord
Is Conditioned Upon The Lord
Giving That Christian
Earthly Peace
AND
Much Earthly Reward!

A Nominal Christian
Is Not One Who Will Say
Sacrifice 
AND
Humility
Are On The Blessed God's Way!

Nominal Christianity Is
The Laodicean Way
Saying To The Life Giver
We Don't Need You Today
For We Are Rich
AND
Increased With Goods
With More
Much More 
Coming Our Way!

BUT ...

Let Me Tell You
What The Great God
On The Sifting Day
- After Having Issued The Directive
For Them To Change Their Ways
For They Were Wretched
Poor
Miserable
Blind
AND
Naked
In The Eyes Of The Divine -
Says:


Depart From Me!
Into Outer Darkness Go!
You Are No Child Of Mine!
I Do Not You Know!

In That Dark Dark Day
There Will Be Wailing
AND
Gnashing Of Teeth
BUT
The God Of All Ages
Will Have No Mercy
For Those Who 
Crocodile Tears Weep!

God Will Pour Out His Wrath
Unmetered
Untempered
By Mercy And Grace
AND
The Nominal Christian
Will Know The Terrible Sorrow
Of Eternal Separation
From The Loving Good Sweet!


No True Christ Lover 
Can Be Called
A Nominal Christian
For That Plainly Says
That Wicked Satan Did
Jesus Christ Defeat!

Jesus Christ Is Lord!
Jesus Christ Is God!
Satan Is The Father-Liar
AND
The Consummate Fraud!

Satan Deals In Half-Truths!
Satan Deals In White Lies!
Satan Is The Robber
The Murderer
AND
He Desires To See Humans Die!

Live For The Holy Jesus!!
Live! 
Why Should You Die?
Jesus Christ Paid Your Sin-Price
So That You Can
To God The Father
Be Lovingly Reconciled!

Call On Jesus Christ Today!
Call On His Name In Fervent Prayer!
Pray Like There Is Only Today
AND
Invite The Holy Spirit
Into Your Heart To Stay!

Trust Jesus Christ!
Your Hold Upon Eternal Life
Really Depends 
On Your Faith And Belief
AND
Love And Trust
In Him!
