VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Christian Code-Switchers!?!













Who Would Have Thought That 
There Would Be Known Practicing Christians 
Who Indulge In Code-Switching!?! 

Huh!?! 

They Are Christians With Their Christian Friends And Associates 
And 
Rabid Sinners With Their Willfully Sinning Friends, You Know, To Fit In! 

Huh!?! 

Yup! 
You Heard It Right! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father
Why, Why, Why Would We Feel The Need To Be Switch-Hitters!?! 

Do We Not Remember The Statement Of Truth Which Says That 
A Friend Of The World Is The Enemy Of Almighty God!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Do You Know, Accept, Understand, And Act 
According To Your Calling In Christ Jesus!?! 

If You Are, Don't You Believe That Constancy And Consistency
Faithfulness
And 
Enduring All Things For Our Lord Christ 
Should See You Standing Firm And Deep In The Savior's Love 
No Matter In Whose Company You Should Find Yourself!?! 

Brethren, 

Please Know That There Is No Fence Riding
No Fence Riders
No A Lil' Bit O' This
And 
A Scrumptious Helping O' That 
In The Kingdom Of The Forever Blessed! 

With Jesus Christ The King
You're Either With Him Or Against Him! 

How Are You Standing In And With The Forever Blessed One!?! 

Are You Permitting Him To Hold Your Hand 
To Lead You Gently Safely Home!?! 

The Lord Jesus Is The Light That Leads To Everlasting Life! 
He's Everything To And For Us: 
Think On And Pray About It! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: It's All In Your Name!




Your Name Identifies You
Speaks To Your Reputation
And 
Announces Your Character! 

Does Your Name ... Right Now
Announce To Friends, Family, Foes
And 
The Fraternity Of The Faithless Fiend That 
You Are A Committed Member Of The Household Of Faith 
Or
Does It Say That 
You Have Itching Ears 
And That 
You Are One Who Follows Every Wind Of Doctrine 
And 
Is An Explorer Ever Seeking After Something New,
Spectacular ... And Sense-Tingling!?! 

Beloved, 

Your Name Means Everything To The Lord Jesus 
As Shown In The Letter To The Church At Sardis In Revelation 3:4  
Where He Says That There Were A Few Names 
Who Had Not Defiled Their Garments! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Names ... As Christ's Followers 
Should Distinctly Set Us Apart 
From Those Amongst Whom We Dwell 
Or With Whom We Associate! 

There Is The Great Day Coming 
When We Shall See Our Lord As He Is 
Because 
We Shall Be Like Him! 

We Are Called To Be Perfect 
Even As Our Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 

We Are To Be Developing The Character Of Christ Now 
By Letting The Holy Spirit Lead, Teach, Feed
Correct, Direct, Protect
And 
Use Us In Almighty God's Service! 

Please Deny The Liar Who Offers License 
And
Accept The Lord Who Gives Everlasting Life! 

Live Now As Though You Are Going To Be Living 
In Heavenly Light Later! 

Please Polish Your Name Here 
So That You Will Receive The New Name 
On The Peaceful Shore! 

Peace!

Nobody Owes Us A Gift Or A Gift Of Our Choosing!




We Have Surely Lost Our Way! 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus
Why Would We, As Committed Christians, Believe That 
A Free-Will Gift Of Almighty God 
Should Be Returned To The Sender Expressing Our Dissatisfaction 
Because 
It Is Not A Brand Name
It Is Not What We Wanted
And 
It Is Not To Our Taste Since Only Money Excites Us!?! 

Beloved, 

Yes, There Are Gifts That We May Specifically Ask The Lord For 
But
Think Carefully About All The Gifts, Benefits
And 
Blessings That We Have Received Of The Lord 
Without Our Prior Knowledge And Approval!?! 

Was Calvary A Part Of Your Desire Or Aesthetic!?! 

The Cross Was Not By Gucci 
And 
The Holy Spirit Is Not Prada! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Blindly Continue 
In The Despicable, Entitled, Attitude 
Now Being Publicly Expressed
It Is Certain That We Will Not Want Or Accept 
The Now Available Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

It Is Also Certain That We Will Also Roundly Reject 
The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
Because 
They Do Not Come Wrapped 
In A Warhol Or Michelangelo Hand-Drawn Wrapping Paper! 

No One Owes Us A Gift
And For Sure
Nobody Owes A Gift Of Our Own Choosing! 

The Gifts Of God Should Be To Us


"Thank You, Jesus!
Bless You, Lord, For Thinking On Me!" 


The Good And Perfect Gift From God To Us 
Is 
Good And Perfect, As Is, For Us ... Always! 

Let Us Not Behave Like Idolatrous Ingrates 
Treating The Lord's Bounty Like Hog Food! 

Let Us Gladly Accept The Best Of Heaven 
Like We Know That 
We Are The Blessed On Earth! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Reject Evil To Live In The Bright Presence!










We Should Be Very Afraid To Do Anything That 
Even Remotely Has The Aroma, Fragrance, Stench
Or Stink Of Wickedness ... Evil! 

Beloved, 

The Lord God Almighty Does Not Have A Lisp
A Stutter, A Stammer, A Tied Tongue
Nor Is Dumb 
So Let Us Not Play Fast And Loose 
With The Living Word Of Saving Truth 
Which Can Both Shame And Cut Us Apart 
And
Also Liberate And Elevate Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Is Not A Monster 
But 
Is Master Of All He Surveys
All That He Has Created
So We Should Hear And Heed What He Says 
Because 
He Means It
And Because 
He Loves Us
And Because 
His Holy Love Does Not Hurt Or Cause Sorrow 
And Because 
We Seek To Return His Undying Love 
By Showing Him Our Willing Obedience! 

Almighty God's Laws Are Few 
And 
Eternity Is Long! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life 
But 
Salvation Is Everlasting! 

The King Of Love Is Glorious 
But 
The Usurper, The Wannabe God
Is 
A Base And Bold Fraud! 

Please, I Beseech And Encourage Us All 
To Humble Ourselves Before The Lord 
So That We May Enjoy The Now Unimaginable Blessings 
Reserved For The Pilgrim Band Known Righteous! 

Reject Evil 
And 
Dare To Let The Lord Embrace You With Eternal Love 
To Live In His Bright Presence! 

Pray, Dear Ones! 
Pray ... And Stay Focused On 
The Goodness And Good News Of Our Lord Jesus! 

Peace!

Listen To The Lord Of Life!

 







Our Lord Christ Invites Us To Come To Him 
And 
Participate In A Reasoning Conversation! 

Satan, The Master Of Distraction
Tries To Insinuate Himself Between Us And Our Life-Giver And Savior 
By Saying That The Conversation Is A Con 
Because 
The Lord Jesus Is Trying To Make Converts To Himself 
By Bypassing Our Free-Will And Our Freedom To Choose How To Live 
And 
When And Where To Die! 

Are You Hearing
Truly Listening  ... And Understanding 
What Is Really Happening Here!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Is Our Creator-God 
And 
He Has No Need Or Desire To Make Us Do Anything: 
There Is No Force In Love! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan, The Adversary Of Our Souls
The Roaring Lion
The Piercing Serpent
Is 
The Scorched-Earth "Builder" 
Aka The Destroyer
The Bait And Switch Con Artist Who Is The Father Of Lies 
Who Will Say Anything 
To Get Anyone To Have A "Productive" Conversation With Him 
In The Hope That It Will Convert Someone 
To His Wicked, Evil, Destructive Way
And 
Take Them Away From The Lord Christ
Almighty God In The Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Reject Interactions With Glib-Tongued Found-Friend Strangers 
Who Can Show You Newer, Brighter, Shinier, Better 
Minus Truth, Light, Love, Grace, Peace, Goodness
And 
Access To The Heavenly Home 
And
Everlasting Life! 

Love The Lord Jesus Christ
And
Lose All Links To The Liar! 

Peace!

A Boatload Of Hogwash!




In The Old Days
Much Talk Was Heard About The Sweet-Skin Bucky
Who Just Also Happened To Be A Silver-Tongued Snake 
And 
A Lily-Livered Coward! 

How Is That For A Warning By Description Of 
A Gentleman-Caller To Roundly Refuse!?! 

Beloved, 

In Our Journey To Joy
To Hill Zion 
Where Pleasures Forevermore Do Not Cloy 
As In Make You Sick To Your Very Stomach
You Will Be Accosted By That Certain Glib Someone 
Whom You Have Never Met 
But Who, With Dulcet Tones, Will Tell You 
All There Is To Know About What You Surely Need
Where You Are Headed 
But Where You Should Boldly Go Instead
Whom It Is That You Have Unforgivably Offended
And 
Why You Should Turn Away From The Light 
That Allegedly Leads To Everlasting Life 
- Which You Can Never Attain - 
And, Instead 
"Follow De Leader, Leader, Leader
Follow De Leader!" 
And 
Just Let "It" All Hang Out 
Because 
Tomorrow Ye Die! 

Dear Ones, 

That Is A Boatload Of Hogwash 
Coming Out Of The Fire-Hose Powered By Satan The Damned 
Who Is Known To Appear As An Angel Of Light! 

Satan Tried To "Sell This Tee-Shirt" To Our Blessed Jesus 
And 
Was Roundly Rebuffed With The Perfect For All Problems 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Please Let Us Choose To Follow The Way, Ways
And 
Will Of Our Blessed Jesus 
And
Allow Satan ... That Silver-Tongued Snake
To Head To Hell By Himself! 

The Devil's Deceits Destroy! 
Jesus Christ Saves: 
Walk In His Holy Light! 

Peace!

Don't Rob Yourself Of Everlasting Life!




Do You Know The Difference Between 
An Open Invitation And An Open Ticket 
And
Understand Their Impress And Impact Upon John Q. Public 
And 
Committed To The Church Christians 
And 
Committed To Christ Christians!?! 

Beloved, 

There Is No Christian Church Without Jesus Christ 
Aka The Foundation! 

All Humans Have Been Given 
An Open Invitation To Come To Jesus Christ For Salvation! 

All Committed Christians Know That 
They Have An Open Invitation 
To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy 
And
Find Grace To Help In Their Time Of Need! 

All Committed To Christ Christians Know That 
No Human Has An Open Ticket To Get To Glory 
On Their Own Terms
On Their Own Schedule
At Their Own  Expense
And 
According To Their Own "Feelings!" 

Dear Ones, 

Tread Softly Before The Lord 
And
Do Not Permit Nit-Picking
Fault-Finding
And 
Double-Mindedness 
To Cost You Your Share Of The Blessed Hope 
Because 
Your Creator-Savior Lacks The Philosopher's Wet Noodle For A Spine 
And 
Is Not Impressed By Your Many Ward-Robe Changes 
Even As He Commands That 
Your "Yes!" Be "Yes!" And Your "No!" Be "No!" 
Because 
Anything Else Leads One Into Sin! 

The Lord Christ Has Made His Will And His Way Plain 
By His Inflexible Word 
So Don't Rob Yourself Of Everlasting Life 
Because 
You Went To School And The Living God Didn't! 

Heads-Up, Dear Ones! 
The Living God Is The School: 
Let's Buy The Free Clue 
And 
Get A Solid Grip On Saving Truth!

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!

HAPPY SABBATH + Please Do Not Be Like Own-Way Children!








Evadney, Do You Know That You Are Being Held!?!

I Sure Do! 
I Am Sheltered By ... And Held 
In The  Comforting Arms Of The Almighty God!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! 
Not That Held!

Come On Now! 
What Other Held Could There Possibly Be!?!

You Asked So Let Me Answer You!
You're A Sinner And You're Held By H.E.L.D.!

Held By Held!?!
Big WhooHoo!

Please Don't Say That! 
I'm Very Serious!

Okay, Okay! 
Tell Me Who Or What Is This "Held" That's Holding Me!?!

H.E.L.D. Has A Hold On You!
Hate, Envy, Lust, And Deceit 
Have Got You In Their Gross Grip 
And They Ain't Gonna Let You Go Free
Unless You Let Our King Jesus Break Their Grip!
It's Either That Or Suffer The Full And Final Effects Of Man's Fall! 







Restrictions, Requirements, Reproofs: 
Man Hates Rules! 

Who Is Better, Wiser, And Stronger Than 
The Lord Jesus Christ!?! 

Like Own-Way Children
We Often Act As Though We Are Better At Organizing Our Lives
Wiser To Make Decisions To Guide Our Lives
And 
Stronger Than The Enemy Desiring To Destroy Us 
And 
All That We Hold Dear 
Including Our Saving Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

There Is None Better, Wiser, Or Stronger Than 
The Lord God Almighty Who Made And Maintains
Saves And Sustains
Provides For And Protects Us All! 

Restrictions Protect! 
Reproofs Correct! 
Requirements Direct! 

And 

The God Of Grace And Glory 
Who Directs, Corrects, And Protects Us 
Is 
Able, Available, And Awaiting Our Answer 
To His Call To Everlasting Life! 

Our God The Almighty ... Strong To Save
Is 
Awake
Aware
Ahead Of The Curve
And 
All-Around Awesome! 

Brethren, Beloved

How About Deciding To Let Our Dear Savior 
Surprise And Amaze Us Today 
Since There Is Nothing That We May Think, Say, Or Do 
Which Will Surprise Or Amaze Him!?! 

Jesus Christ Desires To Save Me And You
So Dare To Grab Grace 
And 
Inevitably Hold Glory! 

Peace!

Be Wise To Rise To Glory!



What Have You Done For The Master!?! 

Are You Doubting What The Master Has Done
Is Doing Or Will Do For You!?! 

Are You Contemplating 
Why The Lord Needs You To Do Anything For Him 
When He Has Everything At His Disposal 
And 
Owns Everything Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown!?! 

Beloved, 

You, Personally, Are Precious, Special, To Our Dear Savior! 

No Person Living, Dead, Dying, Denying, Defying
Rigid, Rude, Recalcitrant, Or Ruthless 
Is 
Able To Change Almighty God's Love For 
And 
Desire To Have Us Accept The Gifts Given
And 
Perform Our Assignments To Gather With Him 
As We Tell The Good News Of Free-To-All Salvation
The Living God's Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, Faithfulness 
And 
Loving-Kindness 
Which Will Never Fail Us! 

You, Personally, Are The Apple Of Our Lord's Eye
The One For Whom He Poured Out His Innocent Blood 
So That You, Cleansed Thereby And Forgiven
And 
Willingly, Enduringly, Obediently Cooperating With Him
May Have His Everlasting Life! 

Please Allow The Naysayers To Swear
And 
The Gainsayers To Bray 
But
See To It, For Love Divine, That 
You Hold To Our God's Unchanging Hand 
Unphased By Opposition 
As You Love Yourself By Loving Your Savior 
By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Obey: Don't Stray! 
Pray: Don't Run Away! 
Be Wise: Rise To Stand Before The Throne Of God 
As The Obedient Child Of The King
The Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ
And 
The Trustworthy Servant Of The Eternal God! 

Peace!

Enjoy In The Lord!









This Same Jesus
The Lord Of Earth And Glory
The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
Our Refuge And Strength
The Hope Of Every Man
The Joy Of Living
The Reason That We Are Alive 
And 
Able To Either Accept Or Reject His Love
His Easy Leadership
And 
His Everlasting Life
Speaks The Same Words Of Truth To Us Today! 

Jesus Christ Still Says: 

"Come Unto Me And I Will Give You Rest! 
Follow Me And Be Blessed! 
Oh, Taste And See That The Lord Is Good! 
Honor Me And I Will Honor You! 
Seek Me And You Will Find Me 
When You Seek Me With All Of Your Heart! 
Come Let Us Reason Together! 
Be Thou Clean! 
Thy Faith Hath Thee Whole! 
Be Thou Perfect As You Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 
Ask, And It Shall Be Given! 
Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn Of Me!"

And

" Pray Without Ceasing!" 

This Same Jesus Also Says: 

"Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
To Obtain Mercy! 
Resist The Devil! 
Walk In The Light!"

And

"Call Unto Me And I Will Answer Thee 
And Show The Great And Mighty Things 
Which Thou Knowest Not! 
Hold Fast What Thou Hast That No Man May Take Thy Crown!" 

And

"I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life!" 

Beloved, 

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever 
For In The Lord Jehovah Is Everlasting Strength! 

I Encourage Us All Today To Believe The Word Of The Lord 
And
Be Eternally Blessed 
Because
Great Is His Faithfulness! 

Be Strong As You Find Your Joy In 
And
Enjoy The Lord! 

Peace!

IT IS WRITTEN: The Living Word Works!

 


You Are A Spectator In A Battle For Which You Are Not Prepared! 

You Cannot Win In A Spiritual War 
If You Don't Know Your Savior
     His Character
          What He Does
                How He Will Do It
And 
                      Your Status In Him! 

Beloved, 

Would You Go To Do Battle In A Flooded Field 
Wearing Dress Clothes
Using Ball-Room Manners
And 
Holding A Butter-Knife When Your Enemy 
Indulges Guerrilla Warfare 
And 
Isn't Afraid To Stick You With A Long Blade 
Like You're A Pig At The Back-Yard Butcher 
Who Knows Running Blood Is Ready Money!?! 

As Believers, We Are People Of The Book
Learners Of The Word
And 
Good And Faithful Stewards Standing On The Promises Of God
Living For Jesus
Led By The Holy Spirit
Influenced By Holy Angels
Ready To Hear And Obey
Despisers Of Doubt
And 
Embracers Of Enduring Faith! 

We Stand Firm On 

"God Said It! I Believe It 
And That Settles All Questions For Me!" 

How Can We Be Settled In 
And
Live On The Word Of God When We Don't Know What It Says!?! 

Jesus Christ Won In His Battle With Satan 
In The Wilderness Of Temptation 
By Wielding The Weapon Of The Word 
And 
Declaring 

"It Is Written ...!" 

He Could Do That 
Because 
He Intimately Knew The Word
And 
Understood And Accepted As Fact That 
The Living Word Works
The Living Word Wars
And 
That He Could Win His Warfare 
With The Wonderful Words Of Life! 

It Is My Prayer That 
We Will Each Come To A Saving Knowledge Of 
The Word Of God That Speaks 
Everlasting Life! 

May The Holy Spirit Touch You Mightily 
As You Lovingly Touch The Word Of Truth Today! 

Peace!

Truth Has No Expiration Date!








Okay! 
Let's Recap! 

Truth Has No Expiration Date! 

Salvation ... Which Includes Grace And Mercy
Has A Guaranteed-By Date! 

And

Evil Has A Use-By Date!

Please Think Deeply On These Things! 

Fret Not Thyself Over Evil-Doers 
Is 
The Take-It-To-The-Bank Command! 

Cast Your Burden On The Lord 
Is 
The Make-Haste-And-Do-It Command! 

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever 
Is 
The Always-Use Command! 

Pray Without Ceasing 
Is 
The Rest-Easy-In-Jesus Command! 

Beloved, 

Every Do And Don't-Do Command Of The Lord Jesus Christ 
Has The Weight Of Eternity Firmly Fixed To It 
And 
We, As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Christ
Should Never, Ever, Join With The Doubters
The Unbelievers
And 
Those Who Are Antagonized By The Plain Truth Of 
The Eternal Word Of The Omnipotent God 
To Place Saving Truth On The Same Ground
The Same Level
As The So-Called Great Works Of Literature! 

The Great Writers Wrote Their Conception Of The Truth! 

The Holy Word
Is 
The Good-News Gospel Truth Which Saves 
Aka Points One To Jesus Christ 
And 
Everlasting Life! 

Let's Get Our Priorities In Order 
And 
Do As We Are Instructed 
So That We Will Have The Peace That 
Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Aka The Truth
Never Changes: 
Learn And Live: 
Walk Wisely!

Peace!
