VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: How Are You Using Your Words!?!

 








Have You Noticed That Those Who Indulge In Bullying Behavior 
Use Their Words To Maliciously Hurt People ... Without Justification
And 
Then Excuse Their Unkind, Often Vile, Words By Saying That 
They Were "Just Being Honest!?!" 

I Wonder If They Know, Or Even Care, That 
This Is Satan's Way Of Operating 
Which He Uses To Try To Convince Us That 
Our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ 
Would Never Want Us In His Kingdom 
Because 
Of Our Obviously Besmirched, Known Defiled
Truly Degenerate Characters!?! 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Do A Deep Think
A Thorough Search Of Scripture ... And Self
And 
See If The Lord Would Or Has Ever Treated Us This Way
Or Would Want Us To Treat Others In Such A Wretched 
And 
UnChristlike Fashion! 

Let Us Remember, By The Eternal God's Great Grace, That 
Love, The Love Of Almighty God
Is 
The Lubricant 
And
The Currency Of The Caring Known Eternal Kingdom! 

Let Us Endeavor From This Moment, From This Very Day
To Choose To Speak The Truth 
With The Love Of God Leading! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Gain The Whole World!?!












If You Knew Without A Doubt That Pursuing And Achieving Worldly Success 
Would Cause You To Forget Almighty God And Goodness
Would You Go After Worldly Success!?! 

If You Knew That Depending On The Lord Christ For Every Need Of 
This Short And Eventful Life 
Would Surely See You Saved At The Last Trumpet's Call
Would You Choose To Live On The Love Of The Glorious God 
Or Would You Opt For The Liberty Of License 
And 
Do Whatever You Want To 
Because 
You Have Free-Will  ... And Freedom To Choose!?! 


Choices And Chances
Graces And Paces!


Beloved, 

How Will You Stand In The Presence Of The Judge Of All Flesh
- The King Of Every Human -
In The Appointed Hour!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Look To Jesus Christ And Live 
Is 
The Command Of Almighty God To Fallen, Finite Man!

Despising Everlasting Gifts To Enjoy Pea-Soup That 
Disappears At The Potty Bar 
Is 
Not A Decision To Be Taken Lightly ... Or At All! 

The Question Needs To Be Honestly Answered: 



"What Does It Profit A Man
To Gain The Whole World
And
Lose His Own Soul!?!" 



Have You Got The Answer!?! 

Please, Right Now, Today, Talk To The Lord Jesus
The Word Who Gives The Words Of Life: 
You Have Eternal Life To Gain! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Sharp Turn Around!









One-Eighty And Three-Sixty Were Running Through The Town! 
Repentance Took One-Eighty And
Three-Sixty Valiantly Tried To Get Repentance 
To Do A Hard Rebound!

Three-Sixty Loved Anything Circular!
He Loved Anything Fat And Round
But 
He Sincerely Hated That One-Eighty 
Who Had A Knack For Making All Sinners With Repentance
Do A Sharp Turn-Around! 

Three-Sixty Loved The Status Quo! 
He Loved No Need To Change! 
He Worked For Beelzebub, That Dragon
Who Loved To Keep Born Sinners In Locked And Heavy Chains! 

You May Well Ask Yourself The Question:
One-Eighty Or Three-Sixty, Who Cares!?! 
So Let Me Tell Me You What Love-Dove Peace Told Me 
And 
You May Decide If It Does Anything Explain! 

Sinners Are By Nature Born
But When They Seek And Find The Lord Christ 
They Cannot Willing-Sinners Remain! 

Encountering Christ Convicts Of Sin 
And Causes The Desire To Change! 
That Change Is Called Repentance, My Friend, 
Which Means That One Must Wheel And Come Again! 

Repentance Is A You-Turn Even On The Crooked Road Straight! 
A You-Turn Is A One-Eighty, You See
But 
Beelzebub Has People Convinced That 
Repentance Is A Full Three-Sixty! 

Lord, Have 'is Mercy! 
I U-sed To Think That The Three-Sixty Was The Deal 
But I Is Now Understand That 
That Three-Sixty Does Lef' Me In The Round-About Land 
Without The Off-Ramp! 

Bingo, Beloved! 

You Done Got De Thing! 

Doing That Three-Sixty 
Does Left We With De Bull-Cow Brass Nose Ring 
With Beelzebub, That Satan, That Deceiver, Bearing The Hook 
And Dragging We Helter Skelter 
As He Waiting Fuh We Goose To Get Cooked! 

You Speak Truth, My Friend! 

I Know The Real Friend 
Who Encourages Us To Embrace Real Repentance 
So That We May Rightfully Enter The House Of 
The Dear One Who Was Born To Be The Everlasting King! 

His Name Is Truth! 
His Way Is Peace! 
He Gives Wisdom And Understanding
And 
As Regards Our Shackles
It Is He Who Does Our Chains And Locks Release! 

I Like That One-Eighty Repentance! 

Three-Sixty Is Free To Go To Hell! 
I Will Trust The Truth That Matters 
And Depart From The Lies That Splatter! 

The Final Word ... Perfect Love Gives Free Grace 
But 
Strict Justice Terminates Available Mercy! 
Please Think Of These In Real-World Terms
And 
You Will Not Your Pick For Heaven 
Carelessly, Callously, Spurn! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Life Ain't Fair!?!

 











We Like To Say That Life Is Unfair! We Also Like To Say That 
Life Is What You Make It! 
We Also Seem To Forget That Jesus Christ The Creator-God 
Is 
The Way, The Truth, And The Life! 
No Jesus, No Life! 

Should Not We Therefore Realize That 
It Is The Life Lived Without Jesus Christ, The Life-Giver 
And
The Light Of The World
That Causes People To Behave Inappropriately 
And 
Thereby Cause Still Other People To Accuse Life Aka The Lord Jesus!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Committed To Christ Christians
Are Asked To Live In Peace With All People ... Where Possible! 

We May Choose To Let People Embitter Our Lives 
Or
We May Choose To Live For And In Jesus Christ ... Our Peac
Who Freely Gives Unto Us His Peace 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Beloved, 

Have You Not Realized That 
It Is Man's Unregenerate Heart 
Aka Man's Heart Unimproved By Grace That 
Causes Us The Problems Which We Say Cause Life To Be Unfair!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us From This Day Forward 
Choose To Be Part Of The Solution 
And 
Not The Cause Of The Problems In Other People's Lives 
And 
Our Own! 

When We Let The Light Of Almighty God's Truth 
Be The Center Of Our Lives
It Is Guaranteed That The Devil Aka Our Adversary 
And 
His Minions 
Will Have No Part In Us! 

Be Encouraged ...

Our Relief Is Jesus! 
Our Release Is From Jesus! 
Our Refuge Is Jesus! 

Dare To Rest In Christ Jesus 
And
Be Relieved: 
Eternal Life Is Peaceful! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Understanding Is The Gift Of Almighty God!

 










Beloved, 

Do You Know That There Is No Man Happy 
Without The Gift Of Almighty God!?! 

Throughout The Scriptures Of Truth
The Refrain Rings 
"Find Wisdom, Get Understanding! 
"Get Wisdom, Get Understanding!" 
And
"Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!" 
Shouldn't We Buy The Free Clue 
And 
Do As Our Heavenly Father Asks!?! 

To Wax Ridiculous
This Is Not About Being Under A Stand 
Nor Standing Under Some Lying Tenet Of The Damned Devil! 

Dear Ones, 

In Our Text At Study
We Find The Request 
"Grant Me Understanding According To Thy Word!" 
Because 
Worldly Understanding 
Is 
A Corrupted, Corrupting, Force And Influence 
Which Is Only Ever Counteracted 
By The Living, Holy, Eternal Word Of 
The All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory 
And
Is Inviting Us-Willing To Join Him There At The Time Appointed! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Remove Our Brains From Park 
By Allowing Wisdom
- The Gift Of God - 
To Engage Our Understanding 
So That We Are Not Deceived 
By Those Who Are The Adversaries Of Our Purchased Souls! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Be Callous-Minded, Careless, Nor Conceited! 

Please Be A Humble Child Of The Father 
And 
Accept That His Word
His Will
His Ways
And 
His Wisdom 
Are Good And Perfect Gifts That 
Elevate Our Understanding 
Which Is A Cure That Strengthens Our Core For Christ! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: If Not You, Who!?!

 

As Ambassadors For Christ
We Have A Message To Tell To The Nations! 

When Are We Going To Tell It!?! 
If Not Now, When!?! 

Who Is Going To Tell It!?! 
If Not You, Who
And
If Not Here, Where!?! 

Simple Questions! 
How Will You Answer!?! 

Think About It ...

Before You Can Deliver The Message
You Should Personally Know The Sender! 

Before You Can Be An Effective And Efficient Messenger
You Have To Grow In Grace And Faith! 

Before You Can Go On Your Journey
You Must Show And Be Sure That 
The Message That You Are Delivering 
Is 
Undiluted, Uncolored, And Unspun! 

Dear Ones, 

There Are Many Who Say That 
They Are Stewards, Servants, For The Sender
- Our Savior -
But 
In The Day Of Accounts 
Their Service Will Be Found To Have Been Corrupted 
And 
Their Reward Will Not Be The Choice One Desired! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Don't Be A Deceitful Bow! 
Be True And Forth-Right! 
Be Good Stewards
Be Faithful Servants
And 
Be Honest Students Of The Good Book 
Giving The Straight Testimony 
So That Your Work Reaps A Harvest For Our Lord The King
And 
You Are Blessed And Eternally Saved! 

Let's Go Out
Lead Out
And 
Speak Out With Love For Our Lord And Our God! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us!




Beloved, 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

The God Whom We Serve 
Is 
The Holy God Who Cannot Lie 
Or Stretch Truth 
Or Make Truth Turn Corners 
Because 
Such Dank Doings Are Not A Part Of His Character! 

He Is The God Of Grace! 

I Quite Like The Expression Which Accrues To Our Eternal Benefit: 
We Receive God's Riches At Christ's Expense! 
We Are Blessed! 
Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Fairy Tale Says: 
New Lamps For Old! 

Don't Believe The Hype: 
Stick With The Historical Faith Tried, True
Tested, Approved, And Proven! 

The Lamp That The Adversary Wants Us To Exchange 
Is 
The Lamp Of The Eternal Word Of Truth Of Almighty God 
Which Gives Us Living Light To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness! 

The Way Of Right Living Requires Unceasing Prayer: 
It Is Armor! 

The Prayer Of Faith 
In The God Who Says To Pray With Trust, Faith
Is 
Comfort 
Because 
It Is To The Living God 
Who Cares For You, Personally ...  Intimately ... Sacrificially! 

We Are To Seek Almighty God To Find Him! 
We Are To Let Our Requests Be Made Known 
To Him Who Can Fulfill Them! 

We Are To Knock At The Throne Of Grace 
With Intention And Endurance! 

If Your Request Is For Your Good 
And 
For Almighty God's Glory: 
Palms Up! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Will Blesses! 
Almighty God's Grace Cures 
And
Our Enduring Faith In Our Dear Savior Jesus 
Opens Wide Heaven's Stores! 

Vigorously Use Your Invitation 
And 
Access Received Through Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Do You Understand What You Say That You Know!?!




If You Say You Know Something
It Should Mean That You Understand It! 

If You Say That You Understand Something
It Should Mean That You Accept It For What It Is
Whether It Is The Truth Or A Lie! 

If You Accept Something For What It Is
- Truth Or Lie -
Then You Should Be Able To Act For Or Against It 
According To The Stated Will Of The Eternal God! 

Beloved, 

We Know That Jesus Christ Saves! 

We Understand That Jesus Saves Sinners 
From Sin, Self, Death, The Grave, And Hell! 

We Accept That We Are Sinners 
And 
It Is Us Each, Individually, That Jesus Christ Saves! 

We Act Upon Information And Belief 
And 
Personally Go To Jesus Christ For His Free-To-All Salvation 
And
Ask Him To Save Us 
And 
Keep Us Safe Under The Shelter Of His Wings! 

Dear Ones, 

Belief Requires Action! 
Faith Requires Trust! 
Grace Gives Mercy! 

And

Heavenly Glory Required And Requires Earthly Sacrifice! 

Everlasting Love Will Not Let Us Go! 

Know The Truth! 
Understand The Sacrifice! 
Accept The Love Like A Greatly Beloved Child Of God 
And
Act With Alacrity Like A Faithful, On-Duty, Servant Of God! 

Please Draw  Near To Jesus Christ The Lord 
For Life, Love, And Light! 

Peace!

Remember The Price Paid For Our Peace!




Brethren, 

Be Wise Enough To Care About Others
And 
Care Enough About Others To Care About Yourself 
And 
Your Relationship To And With The Holy God 
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Reliably Informed By The Scripture Of Truth That 
After Jesus Christ Died To Save Us
And 
Ascended To The Father
He Took Captivity Captive
And 
Gave Gifts Unto Men! 

Jesus Took Away Sin's Power To Bind Us Up In Its Thrall 
And 
Gave Us The Power
The Strength
The Gift ... That Unmerited Favor
To Call Upon Saving Grace 
To Obtain Free Mercy And Grace To Help Us 
In Our Time Of Need 
Which Is Every Moment Of Every Day Of Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Never Doubt Pride's Power To Cause Your Downfall 
And
Never Doubt Humility's Ability 
To Lift You Up To The King Of Glory! 

Humility Is A Gift Of God 
And So, Too
Is The Ability To Approach The Throne Of Grace 
To Pray In Faith For Help And Healing With Hope! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget The Price Paid 
For Us To Receive The Promise Of Peace With Almighty God 
And
Everlasting Life In The Paradise Of God! 

Trust The Word! 

Pray, Care ... And Press On! 

Peace!

Do You Smell That!?!

 









Do You Smell That!?! 

I Cannot Understand 
Why People Who Do  Little To Nothing For Anyone 
Boldly Expect A Lot To Be Done For Them 
By Others Whom They Hold With Scant Respect! 

Beloved, 

I Sincerely Pray That 
None Of Us Walks Around Polluting The Atmosphere 
With The Stench Of That Aromatic Called 
Air Of Entitlement 
And
If We Do
I Again Sincerely Pray That 
We Will Rid Ourselves Of It 
As We Would Get Rid Of The Stink Sprayed By A Skunk! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Jesus Has Provided Innumerable Gifts To Us 
With The Prime One Being The Gift Of Salvation! 

Let Us By Grace Recognize And Accept That 
The Gift Is Given 
But
We Must "Dirty" Our Hands To Open, Appreciate
And 
Lovingly, Daringly, Gratefully Utilize It! 

Again, I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
We Will Not Be So Drunk As To Believe That 
We May Accept The Savior's Unspeakable Gift
Live Like Pigs In Slop
And Then On Judgment Day 
"Accuse And Castigate" The Lord Christ 
For Not Letting Us Into Heaven 
When He Had The Moral Duty To Do For Us 
What He Had Given Us 
The Strength And Wherewithal To Do For Ourselves 
With His Blessing Of Grace And Mercy 
Which Gave Us Place, Position, Provision, And Protection! 

We Are Definitely Entitled To Destruction, Death, And Damnation 
So The Attitude Of Gratitude Adjustment 
Is 
Decidedly In Order! 

Don't Let The Devil Turn You Around!

Peace!

We Now Have The Opportunity To Do Love!




Amazing Grace For Us 
Comes From The Heart Of Abiding Love Toward Us! 

Beloved, 

Even Though Our Human Known Carnal Hearts 
Are Toward Committing Evil Continually
The King Of Love 
- Who Is Our Only Shepherd And Savior - 
Freely Decided To Give To Us The Way
The Opportunity To  Know, Experience
And 
Do Love Right! 

Not One Of Us In Our Right Minds
Having Been With The Lord Christ
Will Choose To Be Unlovely Aka Ugly
Unloving, Unkind, Or Uncaring! 

Jesus Christ Is The Perfect Example Of Love! 
He Is Love Personified 
And 
Will Not Reject Any Of Us Who Choose To Find A Home 
Under His Banner Of Love! 

To Know Jesus Is To Love Jesus 
And 
To Love Jesus Is To Love Our Brethren 
- As We Love Ourselves - 
By Blood, By Faith, By Affection
And 
By Reason Of The Fact That 
They Are Created By The God Who Sees, Feels, Hears
And 
Sees Every Single Thing That We Think, Say, And Do! 

Dear Ones, 

Without Our Blessed Lord's Amazing Grace And Abiding Love
We Would Not Exist! 

We Now Have The Opportunity To Do Love 
And 
To Stand Firm In The Unfailing Faith That 
Jesus Christ Daily Gives To Us To Be ... For Him! 

Please Do Not Permit The Damned One 
To Encourage You To Scorn Your Daily Blessings 
From The Eternal One God 
Who Gives Grace Aka Favor Aka Power! 

Please Let Love Abide With You 
And
Dare To Abundantly Share It With Others!  

Peace!

Blessings Flow: Almighty God Knows!

 

Sowers Reap! 
Givers Get! 

Beloved, 

There Is An Old Saying Ever New Which Says That 
If You Sell All That You Have
Then You Must Buy All That You Need! 

We Used To Call People Stingy For Having Abundance 
And 
Never Wanting To Share
But 
Now It's Called Looking Out For Number One! 

We Could All Learn A Lesson From Old Ms. Bee 
Who Had A Wonderful Mango Tree 
Which Bore Really Small But Extremely Sweet  Fruit! 

Every Mango Season 
Ms. Bee Would Give Out Free Bags Of Mangoes To The Neighbors 
And 
Everybody Knew That After That 
You Would Have To Buy What You Wanted: 
Ms. Bee Always Gave Extra When You Bought Mangoes! 

Ms. Bee Also Never Had A Problem 
Getting Anybody To Run Errands For Her! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Want A Friend
Be A Friend! 

If You Want To Know A Subject Better
Teach Aka Share What You Know! 

If You Want A Blessed Harvest Of Abundance
Be Very Careful Of The Seed That 
You Choose To Plant And Nurture
And 
Make Sure, By The Grace Of The Eternal God, That 
Your Plantings Are Such As Will Be Blessed Of The Lord 
And
Will Not Only Benefit You
But 
Will Also Bless And Benefit Others! 

Flowers Grow And Show! 
Character Grows And Shows! Blessings Flow: 
Almighty God Knows! 

Give And Gather! 

Peace!

With Confidence And In Humility, Depend On The Lord!









Beloved, 

Despite The Challenges We Daily Face
Let Us Approach Our Great God In Prayer 
With Humility, Confidence, And Dependence! 

In Humility 
Because 
You Are In The Holy Presence Of The Eternal And Sovereign God! 

In Confidence 
Because 
You Know That Your God Is Real 
And 
Is Well Able To Provide 
For He Is Our Creator And Our Re-Creator
And 
Our Redeemer-God
Our Deliverer
The Lord Of Life! 

In Dependence 
Because 
We Know That He Knows That We Need Him Who Made Us
And 
We Know That He Loves Us Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally
And 
Desires Our Salvation
Our Healing
Our Cleansing

And 

We Truly Believe That 
He Will Do All That He Has Promised To Do For Us 
By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
And 
Ascension To His Father's House As The Conquering King! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Guarantees Of 
Goodness And Grace And Glory In This Life 
Are In The Word Of Christ The King Who Gives Us Liberty! 

Let Us This Day Bow Before The Lord With Love
In Humility
Expressing Need, Gratitude, Giving Thanks, And Praise
Believing And Trusting Almighty God 
In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus
And 
Finish It All With A Glad 
"AMEN! - So Let It Be!" 

Our King Is Coming: 
Get Ready 
And
Stay Vigilant Against Deceitful Snakes
Roaring Lions
And 
Fearsome Dragons! 

Look To Jesus Christ 
The Living, Holy, Light Of Life That 
Leads To Eternal Life! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!










 








How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received
Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 
And 
Have Totally Forgotten
Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 
The Grace, Mercy, Love
And 
Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 
At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 
"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 
He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 
And 
Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless
And 
Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 
Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 
And 
Turned Back To The Master To Give Him
To Give Almighty God
Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah
After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed
Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 
Inquiring About His Blessings That 
It Was The True And Living Holy God 
Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation
He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation
The Sentence Came From God
- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 
That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 
Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 
And 
The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 
So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 
And 
In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 
Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!
