COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION: Cooperate With The Lord Christ!



Even Though Jesus Christ Paid 
The Full And Final Price For Our Souls' Salvation
There Is Something That Each Of Us Must Do
To Complete The Transaction! 

Beloved, 

An Unopened Gift 
Is 
Just A Present Present! 

An Opened But Unutilized Gift 
Is 
A Dust-Catcher 
Because 
It Makes You Work But Pays No Salary! 

An Opened And Utilized Gift That 
Is 
Despised, Disparaged, And Discounted 
Will Ultimately Be Discarded 
And
That Person Who Acts So Disrespectfully 
Towards Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts 
Will, On The Day Appointed, Be Destroyed! 

Dear Ones, 

Let's Back-Up To Go Forward! 

The Lord Always Gives Us A Part To Play 
In The Receipt Of Our Own Blessing: 
Ask ... To Receive
Obey ... And Be Blessed
Be Perfect ... As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect
Turn Ye ... At My Reproof! 

When We Ask The Lord To Lead Us
We Are Informing The Lord That 
We Are Willing To Follow Where He Leads! 

When The Lord Says 
"Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor ... And I Will Give You Rest ...!" 
It Is Because He Has What We Need 
And
Our Recognizing 
And
Accepting This 
Gives Us Wings, Energy, Desire To Reach Out 
And 
Touch The Living God 
Who Hears Our Cries
Heals Our Hurts 
And 
Blesses Us In And For Our Belief In Him! 

There Is No Profit In Useless Pride 
And 
No Benefit In Base Behavior! 

Please Wisely Accept The Gift Of Grace Gratefully:
Cooperate With Christ! 

Peace!

Wisdom And The Word From The Only Holy One!




When Desire And Contentment Are Not Aligned 
With The Will And Ways Of The Lord
The End Result Is The Game Of Footsy 
Played With And Against Us By The Known-Wily God-Fraud
Satan The Known-Damned! 

Beloved, 

Desire Works For And/Or Against Us! 
The Choice Is Our Own 
But
To Make Desire Work For Us
We Need To Make A Direct Call To The Holy One! 

Desire For Truth
To Know And Do Right
To Walk In The Life Of Light
And 
To Escape Sin's Blight
Comes From The Word Of The King Of Love
Our Shepherd Of Rest
Who, Alone, Can Help Us Known-Sin To Confess! 

Dear Ones, 

Contentment In Sin 
Is 
The Lie That Costs The Gullible
The Misinformed
The Rebels Without A Cause
To Throw Away Their Purchased Lives 
With Living Like A Lost Coin
A Lost Sheep
And 
Like A Prodigal Hell-Bent On Proudly Going 
Where He Was Neither Called To Nor Sent! 

A Lost Coin Can't Find Itself! 
A Lost Sheep Is Going Without Knowing
And 
The Proud Prodigal Goes Boldly Into 
The "Heard Of That Great Unknown" 
And
Will Not Come To His Senses 
Until Willingness To Eat A Pig-Swill Sandwich 
Sharply Calls Him To Reason
And 
Desire For Better Urges Him To Go Home! 

Walk In The Will Of God 
And 
Desire Will Always Be For Better
The Best That Comes From The Hand Of God 
Which Cuts From Us Sin's Fetters
Which Brings To Us Contentment-In-Christ
Which We Gain From Daily Reading His Love Letter! 

Did You Read Your Bible Today!?! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Oh, The Pain!


Sin Is A Sexy Siren
Singing A Scintillating Song
Sure To Send The Sinful Skyward
Satisfied With Skirting Around Salvation
Sure To Have Scheming Satan
Salivating That 
Another Soul Would Be His Before Long! 

Desire Is Deceiving
Drawing One Into The Dragon's Dark Domain
Where Deceit, Discord, And Destruction
Are The Deceived One's Reward
His Long-Desired Gain! 

Greed Is A Grip Guaranteed 
To Grind The Glutton
Into Gruel
So That The Gainsayer Satan
Can Joyfully Flush Him Away! 
Beware! Beware! 
Regret Is That Vision Most Cruel! 








"I Feel Your Pain!" 
"No, You Don't! 

"I've Been There!"
"Oh, Please! Get Real! 
Unless We Share The Same Body
You Have No Idea What I've Been Going Through 
So Don't You Dare Tell Me That My Pain Is Nothing
To Deal With It
And With It Get Through!" 

Beloved,

Could You Imagine Telling The Lord That 
His Pain For You Was Nothing 
Compared To What You're Feeling For Yourself!?! 

Can You Imagine Taking Morphine For Your Personally-Felt Pain 
While Minimizing What Our Savior Felt Cold Turkey 
When For Each One Of Us Personally
He Died The First 
And
The Second Death 
To Give Each One Of Us Personally And Individually
The Blessed Gift Of His Everlasting Life!?! 

Pain ... Like Life And Death
Has A Subject And An Object! 

Pain Points To A Problem In You
Which Is A Problem For You
Which Must Be Fixed For You 
Or
In Your Behalf! 

Pain Is A Symptom Of Sin 
Which Corrupted, Corrupts, Mortal Life! 

A Life Of And In Sin Results In Death! 
Jesus Christ Conquered Death To Give Us Life! 

A Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ
Shall See Everlasting Life 
Without Pain, Sin, And Death
So Please Take Our Blessed Jesus All Day, Every Day
And 
Sin Will Not Have Power Over You 
And
Neither Will The Second Death!

Physical Pain Is A Part Of Life! 
How Are You Feeling Today!?! 
Have You Been To Jesus!?! 

Peace!

Desire Decides Destination!






For What Are You Longing Aka What Is Your Desire!?! 
What Is Your Soul's Desire!?! 
Has It Been Denied You!?! 
Have You Denied It!?! 

Beloved, 

When We Were Children
We Played An Almost Game: 
When We Were Told "No!" 
We Raucously Responded: 
"Noah Built The Ark!" 

"No!" Is A Lesson That All Should Learn
Should Learn To Accept And Appreciate 
And
Should Learn To Practice Saying 
If 
One Is To Have Any Semblance Of A Peaceful Life! 

Accepting "No!" For The Answer To A Request 
Often Keeps Us Out Of The Land Of Regret: 
The Food Served There 
Is Not 
Exactly  Pleasing To The Eye Or The Taste-Buds
Since It Consists Of Such Things As Bitter Fruit
Humble Pie
Regurgitate
And 
Feel De Burn! 

Dear Ones, 

When Our Desire 
Is 
For The King Of Love
We Can Place Head, Heart
Hands, And Feet Into The "Game" Without Fear
Knowing That All Of Our Supposed Earthly Losses 
Will Pay Heavenly Dividends! 

Pining After Selfish And Wicked Desires 
Seals Us In Our Sin! 

Isn't It Time To Get Away From Serving "Greedy-Me" 
And 
Start Thinking About 
The Giving Of Ourselves To Bless Our Lord 
By Blessing Others!?! 

Desire Decides Destination! 

Jesus Christ, Immanuel, God With Us
Willingly Gave All Of Himself To Save All Of Us! 
Please Give Of Yourself To The Master, Our Dear Savior: 
You Shall Not Suffer Loss! 

Desire The Best Gifts! 

Peace!

THE GOLDEN RULE: The Requirement For The Righteous!








It Is Not Hard! 
If You're Living, Be Loving! 
If You're Caring, Be Kind! 
If You're Friendly, Be Faithful! 
If You're Giving, Be Forgiving! 
If You're True, Be Truthful! 
Don't Add Nor Subtract! 

Beloved, 

The Golden Rule Is Not A Rule For Fools: 
It's A Calling For Christians! 
It's A Requirement For The Righteous!
 
We, Of The Household Of Faith, Desire 
The Goodness Of The Lord To Attend Us 
As We Make The Pilgrim's Journey 
But 
This Desire Will Not Be Attained 
If 
We Walk Like Side-Winding Snakes! 

Straight Strait 
Is 
The Way That Is Narrow And Neat 
And 
All Who Will To See Jesus Christ In Peace 
Must
In The Journey To Life Eternal
Your Sinful-Self Roundly Defeat! 

A Two-Faced Man Will Never Go Forward Nor Walk Upward 
And 
A Double-Minded Man Will Never Stand Firmly In The Faith 
When Doubt Is Whistling Dixie 
Wearing A Tin-Foil Hat 
After Downing A Spiritous Libation Cut Neat! 

Clear Minds Think Straight 
So Be Wise
Be Wary
Be Faithful ... And Not Contrary
And 
Stubbornly Do To Others 
What You ... Bright-Eyed And Bushy-Tailed
Want To Have Deliberately Done Unto You! 

Love Others As You Love Yourself In The Lord! 
Look To And Live For Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

Heap Those Coals Of Fire!








It Is Said That Revenge Upon One's Enemies 
Is 
Best Served Cold 
Aka Unexpectedly 
And 
With Vicious Stopping-Power! 

To Almighty God's Chosen People
The Answer To This 
Is 
"Nuh Uh!" 
"Nope!" 

As Blessed And Highly Favored Children Of 
The Eternal Who Grants Grace And Inhabits Glory
We Are Called To Be Mind-Bogglingly Kind 
To Those Who To Us Are Not Even Close To Being So! 

Oh, The Beauty Of The Unexpected Kindness 
When Your Enemy Needs Help 
And 
You're The Only One Available To Help 
And 
You Actually, Willingly, Graciously
- For The Love Of God - 
Provide That Help With A Tender Look 
And 
A Gentle Touch! 

What Bliss Is Yours To Have And To Hold! 

Remember, Beloved, 

This Is The Way Of The Savior 
And 
If We Desire To See Him In Peace
This Must Be Our Way! 

We Were Once Enemies Of The Almighty 
And 
He, By Jesus Christ The Righteous
Granted Us The Unimaginable Kindness 
... His Life For Yours ... And Mine! 

There's No Repayment Possible: 
Choose, Instead, To Obey His Blessed Call 
To Be Set Apart For Holy Use 
... To Sanctification ... To Perfection! 

Dare To Smile With The Lord 
In The Face Of The Scorn And Abuse Of Your Enemies: 
Chase Away Evil 
With Your Hand Dripping With Goodness That Shines
With The Light Of Love! 

Peace!

Faith Ain't Stuff And Grace Ain't Nonsense!






People Don't Sleep 
Because 
Many Ravenously Desire
- And Some Have Got -
Silver, Gold, Houses, Lands 
And
A Boatload Of Stuff And Nonsense 
To Occupy Their Minds, Hands And Time: 
They Are All Rich In Sin And Trespasses! 

Beloved, 

When We Come To Realize That 
We Are Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind And Naked
And 
Recognize That We Can't Help Ourselves 
And
Need The Thoughtful, Loving, Kind
Providential Care Of Our Creator-God 
And
Cry Out To Him In Our Distress
It Is Then That The Lord God Almighty
Mighty To Save
And
Strong To Bless
Is 
Able To Do A Good Work In Our Lives
Intimately, Individually And Personally! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Allow Silver And Gold To Testify Against You
In The Great Day Of Accounts!

Do Not Permit Covetousness, Pride And Greed 
To Stop You From Taking All That Concerns Your Life
Your Physical, Spiritual
And 
Emotional Well-Being 
To Almighty God In Heartfelt Prayer
Day By Day 
And 
Moment By Moment!

No Surprise ...

A Drowning Man 
Will Clutch At A Straw To Save Himself 
But
We Who Go To Jesus Christ To Be Saved 
Will Find That We Are Holding On To 
The Eternal Rock Of Ages 
Who Is Firmly Holding Us Securely! 

May The God Of Grace Help Us This Day 
To Get Our Priorities In Order 
By Our Humbly Placing Jesus Christ First 
In Everything That We Think, Say And Do 
So That We Are No Longer Rich In Sins And Trespasses 
But 
Humble And Faithful Before His Holiness! 

Never, Ever, Forget That God's Great Grace 
Is 
Always Sufficient For Us
And
For You ... Personally! 
Peace Be Unto You! 


Our Gifts Of Faith
And
Free Grace
Cost Our Father In Heaven
Everything That He Held Dear:
His Only Begotten Son!!

Real Life Decision + PRAYER: Please Help Us To Choose The Good Part, Dear Father!




Psalm 62:12 Also to you, O Lord, belongs mercy: for you render to ...

What Is The Point To Having A "Future" 
Without Having Real Life!?! 

What Is The Point Of Having A Life Of Fun 
- That Satisfies Only Our Fleshly Desires - 
Which Comes To A Screeching Halt In The Day Of Our Death!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Think, For A Moment, In 3-D: 

Desire, Death And Door! 

Those Of Us Who Desire To Have Eternal Life With Our Lord Christ 
Know That Godly Desires Work Out For Us 
Lives Of Righteousness ... Right Living
So That When Our Death Comes
And 
We Go To Our Long Home
We Shall Truly Sleep 
Because 
We Shall Awaken When The Lord Christ
- The Door To The Father's House - 
Shall Call Us To His Side 
When He Shall Come To Earth The Second Time! 
We Live To Live ... Again! 

Sad To Say It
But
For Those Who Live For Known-Sinful Self
Their 3-D Has A Plus One: Damnation! 

This Is So 
Because 
Sinful, Disobedient, Self Lives For Sensory Stimulation 
Aka The Fleeting Sensation 
Which Grants No Human The Real Future That 
Spans The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity! 
Self Doesn't Seek The Soul's Savior! 

Please Answer ... 

What Is Your Soul's Desire!?! 

Is It A Debauched Dance With The Damned 
Or
A Royal Feast 
     With Faithful Family 
     Hosted By The Forever Friend 
And 
The Eternal Blessing Of Our Sin-Forgiving Father!?! 


PRAYER:

Father, 

In The Name Of Our Dear Lord Christ Jesus
By The Working Of The Sweet Spirit Of Truth
Who Leads Us Into All Truth
And
With The Good Influence Of
The Holy Angels Who Excel In Strength
Please Help Us To Choose The Good Part!
We Love You And We Need You! 
Have Mercy And Bless Us To Praise Jesus
And 
Glorify Your Holy Name! 
AMEN!!!

EXHORTATION: Be Wise!



Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort ...


When We Testify
We Give A Knowledgeable Account Of 
What We Have Seen, Heard, And Or Experienced! 
When We Exhort
We Seek To Have Our Hearers Understand, Accept 
And 
Act Upon What Is Being Heard! 

Beloved, 

We Have Good News To Tell 
And
We Also Have Good Counsel To Act Upon ... For Ourselves!

We Live In An Untoward Generation
Amongst A People Who Love And Live For Self
Who Denigrate God And Good And Elevate Evil
A Generation Which Sees The Fulfillment Of 
The Lust Of The Flesh 
And 
The Lust Of The Eye 
And 
The Acquisition Of The Pride Of Life 
As Their Only Reasons For Living: 
We Cannot ... As Christians
Walk In That Way Or Operate At That Level! 

Just In Case We Have Are Having
A Momentary "Convenient Memory Moment"
Let Me Remind Us All That
We Serve The King Of Glory ... Jesus Christ The Lord
And
As Willing, Obedient, Enduringly Faithful Servants 
We Must ... By Grace
Live Lives Which Are Above Reproach!

The Desire For The  
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!"
The Desire To See Our Lord In Peace
And
The Desire To Be Known As We Are Known
Should Be Seriously Calling Our Names! 
The Love For Our Lord Christ
Should Keep Us All On The Straight And Narrow!

Brethren,

We Are Not To Be Prideful, Hateful
Arrogant, Gainsaying, Doubting, Wicked 
Or Disbelievingly Unruly! 

Our God 
Is 
Real And Accessible 
And 
True And Kind ... The King! 

I Beseech Us All, Beloved
Please Let Us So Live That 
We Will Not Be Amongst Those Whom He Shall Judge 
And 
Condemn! 

Please Dare To Walk The Easy-Hard Road To Glory 
Even If You Walk There Alone! 
Praying Is Power So Pray! 
Peace!

ALTAR CALL: Righteous Desire vs. Wicked Expectation

Is Your All On The Altar!?!

Which Altar Might That Be!?!

The Altar Of Sacrifice, You Silly Billie!

I Don't See No Altar Of Sacrifice!
I See Pleasures Galore
And Every Body In The Know
Is Headed Toward The Altar Of Convenience
Of That You Can Be  Sure!

Hmmm... 
In The Long Run 
Convenience Is Not At All Convenient
Because It Yields No Long-Term Profit!

The Altar Of Sacrifice Is A Cure
For All Who Desire To Reside
On The Golden Shore!

Convenience And Sacrifice Collide ...!

... Just Like Desire And Expectation ...!

... And Good And Evil!

I Hear, And Truly Believe, That!


Think About It:



Daily Bible Verse - Proverbs 11:23 | Proverbs 11:23 The desi… | Flickr




There Will Only Be Two Groups Of Persons 
At The End Of All Things: 
For Jesus Against Satan Aka Those Righteous 
And
For Satan Against Jesus Aka The Wicked! 

Nobody In Either Of Those Groups Will Be There By Accident: 
Free-Will Personal Choice Makes The Decision! 

Those Who Chose Satan By Indulging Sin, Disobedience
And 
The Willful Way 
Shall Not Enjoy Satan's "Promised" Never-Ending Party 
But 
Shall See God's Wrath Poured Out 
Without The Mercy They Then Want 
But Which They Had Despised All Their Lives! 

Regret Will Be Bitter Indeed: 
Their "Party" Is Become A Pyre! 

Those Who Chose Jesus Christ 
Desired His Gift Of Goodness With Longing Hearts 
And
At His Coming
They Shall See Their Hopes ... Their Expectation
- Their Inheritance -
Realized! 
They Are Blessed Forever! 

Beloved,

Desire And Expectation 
And 
Receipt Of Desire 
Only Align In The Realm Of Truth: 
Almighty God's Promises To Us Are Sure And Secure! 

Our Faith Is Our Security Blanket
So Work Your Faith:
Chew On It
Stretch It Out
Wrap Up In It
And 
Carry It Everywhere ... Every Day! 
It Will Grow 
And 
You ... Enduring
Will Go ... Up 
To Enjoy The Lord's Glorious Goodness ... Eternally
After The Welcome Home Children Feast! 

Praise The Lord For Truth And Perfect Peace!

HIDDEN FROM MAN: Open To Almighty God!

Too Doubtful To Dare Have Faith!
Too Faithless To Will To Endure!
Too Worried To Have Trust In God
But
Oh, So Willing
To Embrace The Willful Ways Of
The Fraud Who Wants The Worship
Due To The Eternal God!

Too Proud To Be Humble!
Too Vain To Be Wise
And
Too Wayward And Willful To See 
How Wicked Are Satan's Base And Bold Lies!

Too Sharp-Tongued To Consider
That Man Must Account For His Words!
Too Angry To Consider That
Unchecked Emotions Sharpens Swords!

Too Wasteful To Even Wonder
What Want Is To Those Who Have None!
Too Callous-Minded To Wonder
If Contemplated Actions Are Whispers From
The Evil Mind Of That Devil, Satan!

Too Wild To Exercise Will-Power!
Too Weak-Willed To Deny Self!
Too Selfish To Think Of Others
But
Wantonly Demanding The Satisfaction Of Personal Desire
Even While Knowing That That Desire
Always Leads To Torment's Blazing Fire!

But ... 

There Is A But That Puts A Period To Known Sin
And
All Who Choose To Follow Self
And
Walk In The Shadows ... In The Darkness 
With Him Who Dishonored Almighty God
And
Denigrated And Demeaned
Tormented And Murdered
The Father's Only Begotten Son
And
Sowed The Seeds Of Discontent
Disobedience, Destruction And Death
Jealousy, Envy, Greed, Hate
Murden, Mendacity, Mediocrity
Hedonism, Idolatry
False Oaths, False Witness
Sorrow And Pain
Shall Never Know Jesus Christ's Salvation
Which, Always, Is Eternal Gain!

Rich ... In Trespasses ...

Think And Do ... Wrong!
Do Wrong And Be ... Damned
Damned To Eternal Separation
Permanent Darkness ... Nothingness
Never, Ever, Seeing The Eternal Goodness
The Eternal Light
The Light That Heals And Seals!

Rich ... In Jesus Christ The Lord ...

Think ... And Pray ... And Do ... Right!
Do Right And Be ... Blessed
Blessed To Live For Eternal Ages
Glorified, Immortalized
In Eternal Peace 
With The Holy One Who Is Our Peace
Who Gives Us His Peace
In This Present Evil Age
A Peace That Passes Human Understanding
So That We Do Not With Satan Rage
Disgracing The Holy Name
The Name Above All Names
That Does Not, Cannot, Will Not
Ever Cause The Believer ... The Faithful Saint
To Know Or Feel Ashamed!

Think About The Lord Christ ...




There's Sunlight, Daylight
Twilight, Moonlight 
And 
Electric Light And More
But 
There Is No Light More Necessary 
To The Life Of Man Than The Light Of Life
The Sun Of Righteousness
The Son Of The Living God
Jesus Christ The Lord
The Life Of Every Man! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous
- Into Whose Hands Is Given All Things -
Sees, Knows, And Feels All Things
And 
Is In Everything 
And 
There Is Nothing That We Hide From Man 
That Is Not Known To Him! 

You May Hide And Buy Land
But You Can't Hide And Reap It!

If What You're Doing Must Be Hidden From Man
Then It Is Time To Stop Doing It! 
Jesus Christ Is Our Judge 
And 
He Knows The Answers To All The Questions
That You Will Have To Answer
So You Can't Lie To Him! 

I Beseech You, Brethren,

Do The Good 
And The Right 
And Walk In The Son's Light 
To Be Saved And Blessed! 
Humble Yourself
And 
Live Abundantly ... Now
To Live Gloriously ... Later
And
Forever! 

If Someone Cannot Give You True Bread
Do Not Permit Them To Take
Your Known, Tried And Tested Biscuit
From Almighty God
Out Of Your Needy Mouth!


A Little Bit
Gratefully Received
 From The True And Living God
And
By Faith Eaten ... Utilized
In The True Light
*** With Contentment ***
Is
Pure Gold
When Compared To
The Mountains Of Pyrite
- Fool's Gold -
- The Dust Of Disobedience -
Used To Indulge Sin
Received From The Accursed Hand
Of
Satan The Damned
Who Cannot Create
And
Who Only Destroys!
