HAPPY SABBATH: Sin Is ... As Satan Does ... Is Sin! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Draw Us Ever Near!





We Were To Complete The Statement
So I Wrote:

Living In Sin
Willfully Living In Sin
Is Like ...

Living In A House
Made Of Plastic
With No Operating Windows
No Outward Swinging Unbarred Doors
AND
Festooned With Billowy Rayon Drapes
Next To Your Constantly Burning
Raging
Wood Fire ... No Available Screen
That You Are Constantly Tending
Constantly Turning
Constantly Adding
Gasoline-Drenched Logs To
Even As You Vociferously Complain
About The Stench Of Burning Melting Plastic
AND

The Oppressive Heat
In An Unventilated Space
While Waxing Elegant About
How Pretty
How Commodious
How Cheap
Are The Accommodations
AND

How Amenably Accommodating
IS

The Onsite Property Manager
Cum Realtor-Landlord-Decorator-Builder-Architect-Designer-Banker
AND
Maintenance Man!

Maaaaan, That Setup Is Too Egregiously Stupid
To Be A Lie!

You Ain't Lying
'Cause To Be In That House Willingly
You've Got To Know
That You're A Walking Dead, Obviously!

Let's Get Real Here
With First Things First! 
Where's The Head!
What's In That Head ... Heart?!

Good Question!
Sin Is Unsavory
AND
Willful Sin Resides In The Heart
That Is Toward Christ Jesus
Dead!
Stone Cold Dead!

The Soul Is Not Being Fed
AND
The Flesh Is Being Led!

We Could Spend The Rest Of The Day
Picking Apart
All That Is Wrong With And In
And Around Those Lodgings
And We'd Never Reach The End
Because Of The Conflicts

AND
The Convolutions!

All I'm Going To Say
IS
Satan Is In The Middle!
Satan Wrote That Song!

I'm With You On That!
Plastic Doesn't Breathe
Barred Doors
Non-Working Windows ...!?!

... Forget That!
I Want To Know What Is The Air
That Is Keeping That Fire Burning?!

Who Says It Keeps Burning On Its Own?!
Didn't You Also Hear Told Of
Constantly Adding Gasolene Drenched Logs On It?!

Oxygen Is Coming From Some Place!

True! True!
AND
I Want To Know Why Anybody
In Their Right Mind
Would Trust
One Person
Who Will Never Be Faithful To Any Other ...!

... Save Himself?!

If We Follow The Money
You Know Who Is Calling The Shots!

If You Follow The Sinner
To His Sin
You'll Know Who Is In Control Of The Sinner
Who Is Causing Him To Go Wayward Walking!!

Let's Bottom Line It:

Willful Sin Is Selfishness!
Willful Waywardness Is Foolishness!
Daily Grace And Daily Faith
Are Gifts Of The Holy God
AND
Any Instigation To Sin
IS
From Satan, The Known Wily Fraud!

AMEN!!!

You Know
I Used To Be A Rabid Sinner
And If Sin Is As Described By Kerry
We Really Were Very, Very, Very, Foolish!

I Hear That!

I Concur!

Let's Thank God, Brethren
For Daily Grace And Faith!

Witness!!

I Need To Hear That Scenario ... Again!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Hear Our Prayer!
Protect Us, Lord!
We Love You!
Please Draw Us Ever Near!

Help Us, Lord
Not Be Immersed In Self
And
Bless Us To Ever Do Your Bidding
Even Though We Reside
In Sinful Flesh!

Help Us To Walk Aright
Be It Evening, Morning
Noon Or Night
And
Help Us For Our Brethren To Care
By Telling Them The Truth
That Sin
Has Not A Human Care
Nor Godly Fear!

Grant Grace
And Peace
And Rest
And
Bless Us To Make Our Pilgrimage
A Grace-Filled Success!
Order Our Steps
And
Please Mark Our Way
So That In The Great Day
We Shall Not From Your Glorious Coming
Try To Hide Away!

In Jesus Christ's Name
We Pray And Humbly Plead!
Lead Us, Lord!
Lead Us!
We Trust You In Need And Indeed!
AMEN.
