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!

The Fabulous Impostor






What Would You Say About A Real Pig That 
Looks Like A Sheep 
And 
Acts Like A Dog!?!  

The Mangalitsa Pig Aka Sheep-Pig Is Such A Creature! 





Hmmm... A Pig Is A Scavenger! 
A Dog Is Man's Furry Companion! 
A Sheep Is A Clean Animal
A Source For Man's Clothing Material
And 
In Baby Form Aka As A Lamb
Was Used For Sacrifice 
To Represent Our Dear Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Beloved, 

Can You Imagine Having Such A Creature Showing Up At The Temple
Brought By Someone Who Thought That 
Outward Appearance Was More Important Than Character!?! 

Think Of Wolves In Sheep's Clothing!
Think Of Friends Who Are Enemies! 
Think Of Satan Masquerading As An Angel Of Light 
Bearing "Truth" 
Which Is Actually The Darkness Of Death! 

Beware Of Masqueraders! 

Never Forget That The True Child Of God 
Is
By Saving Grace
Daily Becoming More Like Jesus! 

We Do Not Run To Execute Evil Schemes! 
We Do Not Take Pleasure In Tearing Down The Character Of Others 
But
We Daily Practice What We Learn Of 
And 
Speak About Our Blessed Jesus! 

We Do Not Seek To Be All Things To All People
Nor Can We Be Converted From The Holy Way 
By Being Groomed With Gifts And Treats! 

Dear Ones, 

Seek To Know All That Is Available 
To Be Known About Our Humble, Good, Kind, Savior 
So That You Will Not Be Overcome 
By The Fabulous Impostor That Is Satan! 

A Pig Wearing Wool 
Is 
Still Unclean 
Even If It Plays Nice Like A Pet Dog! 

Jesus Christ, Faithful, Just, Giving, And Forgiving
Is 
The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever! 

Only Trust The Lord! 

Peace!

Counterfeit!!

The Palettes Were All Laid Out!
Painting Class Was Going To Be Good Today!
The "Drawings" Of Jesus
We Had Finished Yesterday
Were To Be Painted
According To Our Experience Of Him
So The Teacher Did Say!

I Was Excited!
I Was Going To Paint My Jesus Quite Fine:

White Robe Of Righteousness - Freely Available
To Me!
Blue Border For His Law
Which In Love I Now Follow Gladly!
Bronze Skin For He Is
The Everyman-Is-Welcome God
AND
I Wanted To Do 
The Scarlet Pomegranate Broidered Work
Indicative
Of His High Priestly Work
Interceding For Me!

I Was Ready!

But ...

Something Really Strange
Was Happening
Had Happened
To My Paints!

Every Color ...
White
Blue
Bronze
Red
When Mingled With Water
Stained The Picture
The Same Technicolor Hue!

What Meanest This? I Cried.

My God Is Real
Simple
Orderly
Gentle
Soft Spoken
Kind!

What Meanest
This Striding Peacock
This Technicolor Nightmare
This Colorization Of The Very Devil
This Tainted Spectacle
That In Me
Inspires Fear?!

Suddenly ...

I Heard The Laughter!

I Should Have Known!

The Devil Dogs
Were In Battle-Ready Array!

They Were Pointing
AND
Laughing At Me
Trying To Inspire
In Me
Ungodly Fear!

Hear Them ...

You Wouldn't Join Us
So We've Restained
The Colors
That Are Used To Orderly-Paint
Your By-The-Book God
For
He Offends Our Sensibilities
So He
- To Us -
Is Not - Authentically -
Who We Shall Call God!

Too Many Do's!
Too Numerous Don'ts!
Too Much Straight Talking
And
Not Enough Feel-Good Dope!

The Colors Of Our Rainbow
Make That God Appear
Really Cool
And Now The Jesters
Around The Town
No Longer
Are Called Fools!

Nothing Done In Consenting Flesh
Can Ever Be Again Called Abominable
Sin
And
Man Taking The Lofty Place
Of The Once-Glorious God
Now Lowly
Is Now The Best
The Most
Acceptable Thing
Around Town!

No More Long Talk
Nor More Too-Deep Thinking!
It's All About The Feels!

Yeah For The Feels!

I Felt Water On My Face
BUT
I Was Not In Anger Crying!

I Was Saddened
Hurting
For These Deluded Ones
Who Were The Good Lord
- By Right -
- Birth Right -
Denying!

Nothing Done
By Mere Men
Or Devils
Can Change Anything
Sealed
AND
Settled
In Holy Heaven!

God Reigns!
God Rules!
God IS!
I Wish They'd Buy A Clue
For
What God Is
What God Has Done
No Created Being
Can Ever Change
Or
Cause To Be Undone!

Brethren,

Colorizing A Black And White Picture Reel Does Not Make It A Technicolor Movie!

When You Do Not Know
The Real God
The Real Jesus
AND
The Real Holy Spirit
AND
Are Not Protected By The Real Holy Angels
Influencing You Towards Good
Fakery Is Fabulosity
Good Is A Grabbit
AND
God
Is Whatever, Whoever, Wherever, Why-Not, Whosoever Will
Paints It Him Her They
According To Want, Desire
Inclination
Ordered Specification
Trend, Trap
Or Felt Need!

Would You Know Your Holy Jesus
IF
You Met Him
At The Jesus Look-Alike Convention?

Would You Know Your Jesus
IF
He Is Placed Amongst The Goat Herd
IF
His Still Small Voice Is Not Like Them
Boisterously Heard?

Would You Know Your Jesus IF All He Does In The Moment Is Gently Call Your Name?

Will You Know, Own, King Jesus Even Though All The Learned And Illuminated Ones
Speak That Name With Accorded Shame?

Would You Trust A Known Forger To Exchange Your Two Very Real $50.00's 
For A Single $100.00 Bill?

If  You Would Not, Then Don't Trust "Another" With The Salvation Of Your Soul!

I Beseech You, Please Go To Jesus Christ - By Faith - Directly AND HeWill Get You Safely Home
With All The Others In The Remnant Flock's Fold!

Learn The True To Detect The False AND You Will Know Your Father In Heaven
Ain't No Red-Suited, Chubby Cheeked, Black-Booted, Cookie-Eating, Rotund, House-Breaking
Santa Claus!

The Old Saying Goes ...

If It Walks Like A Duck
Quacks Like A Duck
AND
Dumps Like A Duck
It Is A Duck

BUT


I Hasten To Add ...

When Your Duck
Refuses His Bath
AND
- As Does A Rooster -
Starts To Crow
You Know Your Duck Ain't Got No Waddle
AND
His Clothing Is Just For Show!

Personal Puzzler: PASTOR: Willing Skilled And Able




Willing, Skilled And Able
Are Pastors!

Ordination By The Big Church HQ
Is Not 
The Point!

They Preach
Attempt To Preach
Almost Succeed In Preaching
The Good News Of The Coming Kingdom!

Of Course ...

You Would Understand That With Names Such As Theirs
There Is Going To Be Drama
Problems
Maybe Even Some
FUN!?!

Pastor Willing Is Not Skilled!
Pastor Skilled Is Not Able
AND
Pastor Able Is Neither Willing 
NOR
Skilled!

I Do Not Profess To Know How It Is Possible
BUT
Things Get Complicated After That:

Pastor Willing
- Though Lacking In Skill -
Is Full of Faith
AND
He Truly Loves The Word
AND
The Word's Word!
He Loves Him Some Jesus
AND
He Is Ready
- Notice Or Not -
To Preach
AND
Teach 
That Holy Word!

Pastor Skilled Is Ahh Umm ... Skillful
An Able Raconteur
To The Point That His Storytelling
Turns snruT
The Word of God
Into Fables!
Hebrews 13:8 Is Often Muttered
When He Walks By
AND
Things Often Get Ugly
When He Is At The Sacred Desk
The Podium
On The Altar
AND
Well, Ahh
Just About Any Time He Opens Wide 
His Mouth!
Able Is Not A Descriptive
To Be Ascribed To Pastor Skilled!

As For Pastor Able ...

Good Old Pastor Able!
He Knows The Word Of God!
You Can Ask Him Anything!
Only Problem ...
Well, The Problems Were ...
Look ... It Is Like This:

Pastor Able Knows God's Word - No Argument
BUT
He Has Not Got One Iota of Skill 
When It Comes To Teaching
AND
Preaching The Word Of God
AND
Because He Lacks The Requisite Skills
He Has Become Somewhat 
Decidedly 
Well ... Unwilling 
To The Point Of Refusing
To Serve In The Lord's Ripe
- For Harvest -
Fields!

Something Has To Give!

Your Assignment
- Should You Choose To Accept It -
Is To Fix
FIX 
These Pastors
Using Their Various Strengths 
To Help Each Become 
Better Stewards 
For Their Master!

How Can We Get A Worthy Pastor
Out Of These Three?

By The Way ...

The Church Down The Street 
Has Put Out An Announcement
Asking For One Pastor Who 
Is Willing, Skilled AND Able!

Here's Your Opportunity
To Find A Pastor
To
"Fit The Bill!"

They Desire A Pastor Who:


  • Believes AND Preaches AND Teaches Victory Over Sin Is Possible In Christ
  • Reverences The Holy God
  • Is Zealous For The Preserved Word Of God
  • Honestly Preaches Of Hell AND Damnation
  • Intimately Knows The True AND Living God
  • Sets Not Himself On A Stratified Layer Above The Holy People
  • Lives Not On Rarified Air, and 
  • Preaches From The King James Bible - NO EXCEPTIONS!
The Straight Word IS Our Watch Word!


  • No Writers Of Popular Theology Need Apply
  • No Pastors With Groupies Need Apply
  • If You Need An Armed Body Guard - Do Not Apply
  • If You Need An Annual Holy Land Trip -  Do Not Apply
  • If You Need A Big Ride - Do Not Apply
  • If You Are A Ten Commandment Man With Commandment Two Removed AND Commandment 10 Is Split In Two - Do Not Apply


Our Church Is Not A 501 (C) 3 Not-For-Profit
BUT 
Is 1 John 5:7 Compliant!
Truth - In Love - Is Spoken Here!

If You Call Sin By Its Name - Apply!
If You Have A Personal Relationship With Jesus Christ - Apply!
If 1 John 1:9  Is True To You - Apply!
AND
Please
If You Have Been Forgiven Of Any Past Indiscretions
Do Not Hide Behind A Lie!
Come Clean
AND
Say What The Lord - In Mercy - Has Done For You
AND
Perhaps
You Can A Sinning-Soul Edify
AND
Point Towards God's Grace! - APPLY!
God Forgives AND So Do We!

**--**--**--**

The Ball Is In Your Court!
Get The Church An Able Skilled And Willing Pastor
Or
A Skilled Willing And Able Pastor
Or
A Skilled Able And Willing Pastor
Or 
A Willing Able And Skilled Pastor
Or
Just That For Which They Asked:

A Pastor
Who Is
WillingSkilled 
And
Able!

Almighty God - Magician Extraordinaire!?! + Prayer







I met a young lady today

She said she is a Christian - I looked up
Then she said something in answer to a question
That made me bristle and query what's up?

Okay, long story short
This is her testimony:
She is studying and working and all else
She said her college exam was murder
For she had nothing in her head!

She knew only two answers she said of the questions
So she went home and prayed and cried unto The Lord
For she believed that God would get her a passing grade
If she asked in faith, He would reward!

She said that when Exam Results were returned
She had received much more than a passing grade
And she knew that Her God was amazing
For The Passing Grade was from Him, and it was her Reward!

Stunned and shocked, appalled, repulsed, aggravated
Ashamed, frightened, dismayed
Are the emotions that ran through my being
For this "testimony" is what pleases The Fraud!

The God of Heaven is not a magician
To Him these beings are of abominable fame
And to hear a Christian confessing testifying
That God is doing magic tricks
Makes me hang my head is great shame!

I tried to explain to her that she was in error
That praying for a passing grade after the exam is not the way
You did not do The Requisite Study and that is like
Killing a man and praying God to make the decaying corpse live again!

"You obviously knew more than you believed you did!" I exclaimed.

"No! 
God did that! 
I will not put My God in a box! 
My God can do anything!" she grandly, boastingly replied.

I reeled in utter shock!

Here are The Facts:

1. She had maybe somewhat studied ... something

2. She looked at The Exam paper and, save for two answers, knew ... nothing

3. She knew She had failed The Exam

4. She went home and prayed and cried to Almighty God to Pass her Failed Exam Paper because She believed in Him, and knew that He would do anything She required of Him even when She knew She was undeserving and had not done The Necessary Preparation OR, at the very least, had done inadequate preparation

5. Almighty God - Magician Extraordinaire - is The Eraser of Wrong Answers, Passer of Failed Exams, Rewarder of The Undeserving, and The Wrong-doer


I DO NOT KNOW
NOR DO I OWN
NOR DO I WISH TO KNOW OR OWN
THIS IMPOSTOR GOD!!

This RUBBISH is what is being propagated as a result of "feeding" from The 'Another' Gospel!"  a/k/a 

The Gospel of The God Of All Wishes 
Who Also Does 
People's Dirty Dishes!

What this "Gospel" is really saying is that you can read your self-printed Bible and pray your disrespectful prayers, and Almighty God, The Formerly Jealous God, The Former God Who Does Not Change, will permit you to worship false gods, curse His Name, commit murder, commit adultery, lie, cheat, steal, up until the day He comes, and He will save you, unrepentant, into His Eternal Kingdom Of What Used To Be Light because you love Him, and believe that He can do anything you require Him to do because He loves you no matter if you dishonor Him by your active, malicious, presumptuous sin, and He will deliver you Saved ... into His Kingdom,  because, well, He is lonely, and will accept the dregs that you give Him, because He is "The Magician On Demand," who wishes your patronage, and if He doesn't give you what you want, you will not like Him and He will be all alone, and He doesn't want that, so, here, ask Him anything, for He will deliver for you for He loves you and He will do whatever you ask of Him ... just because! 

What a crock of horse manure!

The Holy Bible, The Gospel (Truth) (Good News) of Jesus Christ is a transcript of The Holy God's Character!




God FORGIVES Sin! 

God does not absolve us from The Punishment that is our just desert for wrong doing, nor from our "reward" for lack of preparation and judicious action!

God is with His People THROUGH their trials! 

God's Grace provides Mercy so that we may have help ... in time of need - not after the need has passed!

That Young Lady should have asked God to bring to her remembrance what she had studied and not relegated God to the position of a wicked magician!

This attitude is appalling, but not uncommon, and exposes a destructive lack of knowledge of who is really Almighty God.



The Final Word


2 Corinthians 11:2-4 King James Version (KJV)


2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.


3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.


4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

There is NO OTHER JESUS! 

There is NO OTHER GOSPEL!









Do not Abominate God's Holy Word!

Do not make God's Holy Word a Profanity!

Do not let Satan use us to Lead People Astray with falsehoods and embellished fictions!


God will work for His People when and as we do what is right and good!


And, please,

Do not let us credit Almighty God with nonsense, and call ourselves blessed and highly favored, because we got over!

The day of reckoning is coming, and whichever piper we have paid will play The Tune of Our Selection, for Good or Evil.

The Choice, as always, is personally ours to make.



Father, guide us into Your Truth

By Your Light -

The Light of Life

The Light of The World. 

Amen
