VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Careless Living Ain't Comfortable Nor Care-Free!














Before We Came To The Lord Jesus Christ
We All, Without Exception, Lived Thoughtless, Careless, Even Reckless Lives 
Because 
That Is What The Unregenerate Soul Does! 

Remember The Truth ... 

All Have Sinned 
And 
All Fall Short Of The Glory Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

What Do You Believe That You Could Give The Beautiful Savior
As Your Valid, Unimpeachable Reason 
For Your Hand In Causing Him To Have To Die 
To Save You From Eternal Separation From Almighty God!?! 

Do You Give Up!?! 

I Did 
Because 
There Is No Excuse For Our Sinning Against God's Holiness! 

Do Your Remember When Wanting To Do 
Turned Into I Did It 
And Then 
Turned To Why Did I Do That 
And On Into 

"Lord Jesus,
Please Help Me And Save Me!?!" 


Been There, Done That! 

Beloved, 

We, As Committed Christians
Can No Longer Walk With Or As The Unwise! 

Our Lives Must Be Lived As Those Wise Unto Salvation! 

Our First, Our Default, Position 
In Everything That Causes Us To Have To Make A Decision 
Is 

"Lord Jesus,
Help Me! 
I Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!" 

Because 
Being Thoughtful, Careful, Prayerful, Faithful
And 
Ever Showing Abiding Love For Our Blessed Jesus 
Is 
The Anchor For Our Souls! 

Hang On To Jesus Today 
No Matter What Your Lying Eyes
Your Stopped Up Ears
And 
Your Crawling Skin Say! 

Jesus Saves So Let Him Save You! 


Peace!

Folly Ain't Fun: Think On Jesus Christ Who Ever Thinks Of You!















Dead In Sin And Trespasses! 
Too Proud To Change!?! 
What A State Of Affairs! 

You Can't Help Yourself 
But 
You Are Making Sure To Keep The One Who Can Out Of Fix-Me Range! 

Did You Know That A Dove Is Called Silly 
Because 
It Sometimes Flies Without A Cause!?! 

Did You Know That Sinners Don't Know Where They Are Going 
But 
Proudly State That They Are Going There In Style!?! 

Consider That You, And Me Too, Were Once In Hard Bondage In Egypt 
Where Denying Knowledge Of The Holy God 
And 
The Practice Of Idol-Worship Were Considered Big Doings 
And 
The Lord God Almighty Brought You Out By The Power Of His Might 
And 
Called You His People 

And

When You Were Established, Strong And Fat And Happy
You Adopted The Vile Habits Of Your Neighbors 
Which Habits The Lord Condemned! 

When Certain Of Your Wicked And Idolatrous Neighbors 
Sought To Make War With You
Would You Ignore Your Own Known-Holy Loving Faithful God 
And 
Seek "Help" From Your Former Slave-Master, Egypt
Instead Of Swallowing Your Pride
Admitting Your Error
And 
Acknowledging Your Shame
Stop Your Useless Silly-Dove Flights Of Fancy Or Fantasy Flights 

And

With A Broken, Contrite Heart
Humble Yourself And Pray
Confessing And Repenting Of Your Known And Bold Sin!?! 

Beloved, 

Folly Ain't Fun! 

What Tastes Good In The Mouth 
And 
Pleasurably Slides Down The Throat 
Can Be Silk In And Brambles Out
Oil In And Jagged Rocks Out! 

How About Choosing To Give Your Sin And Your Satan To The Savior 
So That Your Only Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord 
May Secure You With His Salvation!?! 

Let Us Choose To Lose Our Useless Pride 
And 
In The Lord Of Life Confide And Abide! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Let Holy Spirit Rise In You!

 












When Our Blessed Jesus Was Soon To Depart This Earth
He Promised To Send Another Comforter, The Holy Spirit
Whose Person Is Represented By A Dove, Water, Oil, And Fire! 

Beloved, 

The Dove ... The Peace Dove
Points Us To Home! 

Water Is Life 
And 
Where Water Is
We Make Our Home! 

In Our Home
We Being The Salt Of The Earth Take Of 
The Lord's Good Wheat Harvest 
And 
Grind It Into Fine Flour 
To Which We Add Water Of Life 
And 
The Oil Of Gladness 
And 
Make Our Choice Bread 
To Satisfy Our Hunger And Bless Ourselves! 

A Secondary Oil Is Used 
To Power Our Stoves, Ovens, Furnaces 
To Bake Our Bread! 

But

With All Of This Preparation
Without The Fire Of God Which Comes Down From Heaven
We Will Never Have Heat To Bake Our Bread 
Or Warm Our Homes, Our Bodies 
And 
Power Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Think! 

Was It For Nothing That 
Our Lord Jesus Sent And Gave Unto Us His Holy Spirit
His Vicar - Never A Man 
To Be Our Only Comforter!?! 

The Holy Spirit Is Present In Every Facet Of Our Lives 
And 
Is With Each Of Us By Invitation! 

He Is Here For All Mankind 
But 
Lives Within Us, In Intimate Relation
At Our Personal Invitation! 

Would You Quench
Put Out Of Your Life
That Sweet Spirit  Who Is Our Safety, Security, And Salvation
By And Through Whom We Live And Breathe
And 
Have Our Very Being
The One Who Leads, Blesses, Corrects, Comforts
And 
Carries Us In Sickness And In Health
Through Trial And Tribulation
War And Peace
Sorrow And Joy!?! 

The Holy Spirit Is God Almighty: 
Where Is Your Faith
Where Is My Faith
Where Is Our Faith In Our God Today!?! 

Please Despise The Ways Of The Worldly-Wise 
And 
Quench Not The Holy Spirit Of God 
Who Gives Us Jesus' Peace! 
Let The Spirit Of The Lord Rise Up Within You! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Let Satan Gaslight You!

 











Beloved, 

We Should Know That In The Household Of Faith 
There Is No Such Thing As Participation In "Borderline" Sin! 

We Know That This Is So 
Because 
We Are Commanded To Abstain, To Shun
To Stay Away From Anything That Has The Appearance
The Look, The Image
The Stamp Of Evil, Of Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is An Old Saw Which Says: 


"Play With The Kitty
And
Know That You Will Get Scratched!" 


Kitty Or Catty, They Both Have Claws! 

By Now We Should Know That Satan, The Originator Of Sin
Is 
A Gaslighting Specialist 
Who Would Have Us Believe Other Than What We Know To Be 
The Saving Truth! 

Sin Destroys! 
Sin Is An Aphrodisiac 
Aka One Sin Is Never Enough! 

Borderline Sin Which Is Sin
Is Like
Knowing You Cannot Have Chocolate Cake 
And 
Choosing To Make And Bake One 
And 
Cutting It Up And Giving Away All The Slices 
And Then
Eating The Crumbs And Licking The Cake-Plate With Relish! 

Abstinence 
Is 
A Voluntary Act With Moral And Eternal Implications: 
It Pleases Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

We Are To Abstain From Sin 
And 
Everything That Even Remotely Looks Like Sin 
And Instead 
Joyfully Embrace Christ's Free-To-All Salvation! 

Let Us Not Fool Ourselves! 
Eating The Crumbs Of What Will Kill You 
Will Kill You Just As Dead! 

Be Warned ... 


Self-Satisfaction
Sacrifices
Salvation
On
The Altar Of Sin! 



Let Us Fervently Pray For The Holy Spirit's Help 
To Keep Ourselves Firm In Our Resolve 
To Abstain From Anything That Looks Like Evil, Like Sin, Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH: An Anchorless Ship Is Loose!










Since The Holy God, The Truth, Has Already Told Us That 
The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked
Then We Should Not Be Suprised That 
Practicing Wickedness Is A Thing! 

With This In View
What We, As Working, Committed, Christians Should Be Doing
Is 
Surprising The World By Not Being A Participant With It 
In Practicing Wickedness Which Is Lawlessness
Which Is Sin
Which Is The Transgressing Of The Laws Of 
The Eternal Holy God! 

Beloved, 

Understand This: 
Doing Wickedness Is No Load For Us 
Because 
It Is Part And Parcel Of Who We Are ... Because Of Sin! 

Choosing Not To Indulge In Sin, In Wickedness
Requires Real, Personal, Effort 
And
The Constant Help Of 
Our Blessed Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend 
Who Died The Most Cruel Death To Break Sin's Hold Upon Us! 

Dear Ones, 

An Anchorless Ship Goes With The Tide Every Which Way
And 
Is Loose 
And 
Is Lost! 

A Ship At Anchor Is In Port 
And
Is At Its Designated Berth! 

Jesus Christ The King
Is 
The Anchor For Our Souls! 
Are You With Him!?! 
Is He In You!?! 

Let's Do Our Homework 
So That We May Pass The Master's Class! 

Do Good 
And
Good Will Attend You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Keep Going Away To Jesus Christ The Lord!

 

An Alarm Clock Does Not Awaken Anybody: 
Almighty God Does!
Keep Yourself On Schedule: 
Set Your Alarm Clock! 

Going Away On Vacation 
Does Not Take Us Away From Our Problems! 
Keep Going Away ... To Jesus: 
He Refreshes And Regenerates! 

A Paycheck Does Not Purchase Or Provide 
Jesus' Peace Which Passes Human Understanding! 
Keep Praying In Faith And Walking In Strict Obedience 
To The Lord's Will To Be Able To Reap The Rewards Of 
The Enduring Faithful! 

Worrying Doesn't Lessen Burdens! 
Take Your Burdens To The Lord 
And
Leave Them There 
Because 
He Sacrificially Loves Us 
And
Is Our Burden-Bearer By His Own Choice! 

Cursing The Darkness 
Instead Of Turning On The Light 
When The Bill Is Known To Have Been Paid 
Doesn't Alter The Fact That 
Doubting The Lord Decimates 
And 
Trusting The Savior Elevates! 

Take A Good Look At Our King Jesus! 

Our Doubt Doesn't Change The Fact That 
Only Jesus Cares For Us! 

Our Daily Trusting In The Lord Helps Us 
To Daily, Moment-By-Moment, Trust In The Lord 
With Hope, For Help And Healing
And
For Provision And Protection! 

Dear Ones, 

I Beseech Us All
Please Adamantly Choose To Call On The Lord 
In The Holy Faith Which Cannot Fail 
As If Your Life Depends Upon It 
Because 
It Does! 

Walk With The Word In The Lord! 
Any Questions!?! 

Peace!

Park Your Faith On First Foremost And Forward!




There Is No Fear In Faith 
And
There Is No Faith In Doubt! 

Beloved, 

We Serve The Holy God
The God Who Sees, Hears, Feels, Cares
And 
Loves Us With The Love That Went To 
And 
Conquered Death 
And 
Is Still Alive And Loving Us
And 
Is Working All Now 
To Save Us Who Are Willing And Eager To Be Saved! 

When Our Eyes Open Each Day
We Are Already Equipped With Faith 
For That Day Alone
To Trust In The Lord Christ Alone
And 
To Live For Him Alone! 

We Do Not Have To Go On A Dangerous Expedition 
To Find Faith To Trust Our God! 

All We Have To Do 
Is 
Decide
Make The Call
And 
Start Walking! 

The Decision To Trust Our Lord Jesus 
Puts The "Amen!" After The Deed To Be Completed 
Before 
It Is Even Started! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Remember That Simple Faith
The Gift Of The Eternal God 
To Finite Man Made In His Image, And After His Likeness
Mooooves Mountains Great, Middling, Or Small
And
Levels The Annoying Molehills 
Sure To Pop Up In Our Daily Lives! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Reach For The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing 
And
By Your Gift Of Daily Faith Received
Dare To View The Promised Land! 

Almighty God Is Ever Near! 

Please Do Not Allow Anybody 
To Steal Your Joy In Our Christ Jesus: 
Park  Your Faith On First, Foremost And Forward! 

Peace!

You Can't Take Off Your HAT!?!




Brethren, Beloved, 

How Well Are You Wearing Your HAT!?! 

I Do Not Wear A Hat! 

If You Knew What Almighty God Knows
You Would Wear Your HAT Humbly And Thankfully
Giving God His Praise For What He Is Accomplishing In Your Life! 

I Don't Wear A Hat!

You're A Christian Aren't You!?! 

Yes, I Am! 

Then You're Wearing A HAT ... A Customized HAT! 

What Are You Talking About!?!

I Am Talking About HAT 
Aka Hardships, Adversities, And Temptations! 
Every Committed-To-Christ Christian Has That HAT! 

I Wish Someone Had Told Me This Earlier! 

Why!?! 

So That I Could Just Take It Off And Be Free! 

Oh, Dear!?! 

What Do You Mean By "Oh, Dear!?!" 

I Mean That You Can't Take Off Your HAT! 
Your HAT Is Necessary For Your Everlasting Salvation
Your Present Peace
Your Hope
And 
For The Anchor That Secures You To The Rock Of Our Salvation 
In These Times 
Living With This Untoward Generation! 

Oops! 
It's My Turn To Say: "Oh, Dear!" 

You're Welcome! 

Thank You Kindly! 

Please Remember That Your Custom-Made HAT 
Is 
Removed By Your Master-Maker
Healer-Sealer
Hope-Help
And 
Savior-Sanctifier
The One You Trust Who Is The Truth: 
Draw Near To Him! 

Peace!

New Life In Christ!




Sin Makes You Blind To The Truth! 
Being Blind To The Truth Puts You In A Bind 
And
Being In This Bind 
From Which You Cannot Extricate Yourself By Yourself
Sin Efficiently And Effectively Causes You To Be Marked 
As One To Be Placed In The Garbage Bin 
To Be Burned At The Behest Of Almighty God 
In The Appointed Hour! 

Beloved, 

The Song-Writer
In Agreeing With The Living Word Of The Eternal God, Says: 

"Sin Will Take You Farther Than You Want To Go!" 

Believe It! 

Sin, Like Fire
Does Not Have It In Its Make-Up 
To Just Be Contented With A Lil' Bit
Or A Goodly Portion! 

Sin, Like Fire, Wants All, Everything
And
Will Take It All, No Limits
Unless The Creator ... The Life-Giver
The Bread Of Life
The Water Of Life
The Sustainer Of Life
The Re-Creator Of Life
Puts A Decided Stop To Sin Aka The Raging Fire In Our Life 
With Our Permission ... At Our Request 
Through Our Acceptance Of His Free-To-All Salvation! 

Dear Ones, 

Ask For Help!
Accept The Assistance!
Allow The Holy Spirit To Work In Your Life
And 
Appreciate The Gift Of New Life In Jesus Christ 
- Whom We All Adore - 
In Order To Ascend To Glory To Live With Him Eternally! 

Deny Satan The Father Of Lies
And With Joy 
Accept Jesus Christ The Father Of Lights!

Peace!

The Truth Raises The Dead!



If Jesus Christ Is Our Known Forever-Friend 
And
Satan Is Our Unrelenting Enemy With An Expiration Date
Why, Then, Are We, Through Ungodly Practices
Treating Satan The Adversary As A Bosom Friend 
And 
Jesus Christ The Lord As Our Bitterest Enemy!?! 

If The Truth Of The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Hope, Help, And Salvation
And 
The Lies Of  Satan Are For Our Destruction And Damnation
Why, Then, Are We Treating Known-Truth Like Lies 
And 
Known-Lies As The Truth!?! 

Beloved, 

Beware, Be Aware, Be Wary When Those 
Who Are Called To Be Under-Shepherds Of 
The Heritage Of The Living, Holy, God 
Are Asking You To Accept Their Ruminations
Speculations, Suppositions, And Heresies 
As Fact Upon Which To Build 
"A Future Of Bliss" 
On The Earth Which Is Scheduled By The Lord Of Life
The Creator God ... The Judge Of All Flesh 
For An Everlasting Burning 
Aka A Burning Which Will Not Be Put Out By Any Hand
A Burning Which Must Extinguish Itself 
Because 
There Is Nothing Left Within It 
Upon Which The Fire Of God May Feed!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Truth Is Not Always Palatable, Tolerable
Easily Swallowed, Willingly Accepted
Or Gratefully Embraced 
But
It Will Always Be True, Right, Worthy ... Saving! 

Please Let Us Not Worry About Who Calls Us Straight-Laced 
Via Technicolor Words Oft Used By Sailors And The Like-Minded! 

The Truth Raises The Dead 
And
Lies Bury The Living! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

I Love You!




We Have No Corporate Sponsorship 
And 
No One Will Receive Truck-Loads Of Money 
From Selling Stuff To Make Weary People Feel Wonderful! 

We Have The Direct Command Of 
The Captain Of Our Salvation
Lord Jesus, The Good Shepherd
The Prince Of Peace
The King Of Love, Who Says: 


"Love One Another!" 


Beloved, 

I Love You! 

I Sincerely Say That To You 
Because 
He Who Commands Us to Love Each Other 
Demonstrated 
And 
Unfailingly Demonstrates His Love For Me Daily 
By His Blessed, Unremitting, Care 
And
For Gratitude ... And With Thankfulness 
I Give, Extend, Show His Love For Me To You! 

Love Serves! 

I Will Speak Kindly To You 
And 
Will Actively Listen To You! 

I Will Show You My Heart 
Which Is Daily Being Remodeled By Sovereign Grace! 

I Will Gently Extend My Hands To You 
Because 
I Am Seeing The Forever-Marred Hands Of Our Dear Savior 
Bringing Help And Administering Healing To Me! 

I Will Look At You With The Eyes Of Heavenly Love 
Because 
They Are Being Cleansed With Eye-Salve From The Great Physician! 

Today, Dear One, 
I Choose To Not Look At What We Are 
But At Who We Are Becoming Through The Abiding Presence Of 
The Holy Spirit, Our Comforter
The Great School-Master
Who Is Leading Us-Willing Into Truth! 

I Will Love You By Thought, Word, And Deed 
And
That Includes Kindly Telling You All Of The Truth
Even That Which You May Deem Inconvenient! 

Jesus Christ Is Love 
And 
Love Saves! 
Let Us Choose To Be Like Our Dear Jesus Today! 

I Love You! 

Peace!

The Guardian ... Our Guide ... Is Our God Alive!




When Your Greatest Enemy 
Is 
Both Deceiver And Destroyer
You Have Real Problems! 

When Your God 
Is 
Real And Alive
And 
He Is Both Savior And Sanctifier
And 
Is Known To Be The Shepherd Of Rest 
And 
Shield Of Defence
And 
Is The Only And True Redeemer Of Fallen Man 
And 
Can't Lose A Faithful Servant
Your Greatest Enemy Has Effectively Lost His Prey
And 
Now Has Himself An Enemy He Can't Shift
And 
A War That He Can't Win
At A Time That He Can't Determine
At The Cost Which He Must Pay
For A Prize That He Doesn't Want 
And
Which He Cannot Refuse! 

Beloved, 

Remember Why You Are Whose You Are 
And 
Use Your Gift Of Faith
Your Willing Obedience
And 
Your Voice In Song 
To Cheer You On The Way To Hill Zion! 

Please Remind Yourself That Jesus Christ 
Is 
Your Guardian And Your Guide 
To And Through Life 
And
Unwaveringly Trust Him To Take You Safely Home!

Please Do Not Be A Candle Under A Basket 
Nor A Candle In The Wind:
Boldly, Faithfully, Patiently, And Enduringly
Abide In The Lord 
And 
Be Forever Blessed! 

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!
