HAPPY SABBATH + Bad Choices ... Bad Results!







Bad Choices Equal Bad Results! 

Righteousness 
Is 
Like The Peacefully Cooing Dove 
And
Self-Righteousness 
Is 
Like The Splendidly-Showy Strutting, Screaming Peacock! 
Each Is A Chosen Way Of Life! 

Beloved, 

The Fact Of "Choice" States Clearly That 
You, Me, We Allowed Ourselves To Indulge Thought 
Which Speaks To Our Detailed Analysis Of 
The Pros And The Cons Of A Proposed Action! 

With This In Mind
It Is Clear That Whatever Decision We Thoughtfully Make
Whatever We Choose To Do
The Outcome, Good Or Bad
Cheap Or Expensive 
Or
Life Or Death
Is 
All On Our Own Head! 

Remember Your Creator-Given
Free-Will And Free Choice!

If We Take This Further
We Will Understand That "Choice" 
Is 
Why Not One Of Us 
Will Be Able To Stand Before The Judge Of All Flesh
The Savior Of Every Man
And Say

"I Didn't Know Right From Wrong!" 

Or 

"The Devil, My Brother, Sister, Neighbor
Mother, Father, Friend, Enemy
Made Me Do 'It!'" 

That Boat Ain't Gonna Float! 

We Are Called To Be Wise For Our Own Selves 
So Let Us Understand That 
We Have One Chance To Make The Right Choice 
To Avoid The "Why Me!?!" Consequence Of 
Departing From The Path Of Purity, Truth ... Righteousness! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Let Us Dare Today 
To Do The Deeds To Plant The Seeds Of The Fruit That 
We Really Desire To Eat! 

Choose To Do Right 
And 
Walk Right In Living Light! 

Peace!

The Deceitful Human Heart: Who Can Know It!?!

I Had Me A Real Problem
From Which I Could Not Hide!
A Problem, I Tell You, True
That With Me Always Did Abide!

My Problem Was My Evil Heart
Deceitful Above All Knowing
And
Desperately Wicked, I Can Avow
My Tattered Life Was Showing!

Of My Own Self
I Could Not My Heart Repair
Or Even To Tell You Truthfully
Its Wickedness Declare
Because
Deceit, Deceit, Deceit
It Is A Cheat
That Takes Great Pleasure
In Making Self Look Clean 
And 
Spruced-Up Neat!

I Was Tired, Oh, So, Tired
Of Living The Life Of Sin
Of Walking On A Path That
My Speech Was Surely Not Showing!

I Spoke Morning And Did Evening!
I Walked Evening And Spoke Night!
I Took Pleasure In Works Of Unrighteousness
And
That Landed Me With The Eternal God
In A Really Serious Fight Plight!

I Answered To His Name!
I Brought His Name Shame!
I Made Myself Ashamed
And
I Had No One To Blame
But
Me, Myself And I
And
My Deceitful Heart ... Inside!

Time To Revive!
Time To Reform!
To Be Made Alive!
Time For Me Never Ever Again
To The Ways Of This World Conform
But
How To Do It!?!

I Needed My Heart!
I Couldn't Just Pluck It Out!

Ahh, Yes!
I Needed The Creator!
The Justifier!
The Sanctifier!
The School Master!
The Word!
The Truth!
The Way Maker!
The One Merciful!
The One Offering Grace!
The One WHo Gives Forgiveness Asked!
The One Who Took My Place
On That Evil Cross!

But ...

Did I Dare Go And Ask!?!
Would He Turn Me Away!
Would He Say:
"Not Today!"

I Needed To Pray
A Real Prayer
And
Not One Of Those Self-Serving
Good-For-Nothing But Noise Prayers!

I Know What I Shall Do!

King David!
I Shall Have A Look At You
Who Sinned Against The Lord
The Lord, Alone
And
Who, When Corrected
Did Not Pass The Buck
Did Not Make Excuse
Did Not Turn Away
Did Not Play: 
I Do Not Know What To Say!

Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God!
And Renew ...!

Yes!
Renew A Right Spirit ... Within Me!

Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence  ...!

I Know That I Deserve It!
But, Please, Dear Lord!
Help Me!
Make Me Clean!
Help Me To Turn Away From Sin And Sinning!
Help Me To Walk Right In Your Eyes!
Help Me To Stay On The Path To Salvation!
Help Me Not Look Back
Neither In My Mind
Nor Physically!

Help Me, Lord
To Live ... For You
By You
Through You
So That I May
At The Appointed Time
Live With You!

That Was It!
Come Clean!
Tell The Truth!
Ask For Forgiveness!
Ask For Direction!
Walk According To The Direction!
Despise The Love Of The Lie!
Speak Truth In Righteousness!
Do Not The Holy God Defy!
Deny The Liar!
And
To The Eternal God
With Gladness Of Heart
Cry! Cry! Cry!

Did You Know That ...

There's A Land That's Fairer Than Day
In The Sweet By And By
For All Those Who Love
Trust, Honor, Worship
And
Depend Upon And Obey The Lord
Without Fear Or Failing!

I Have Made My Decision!
I Shall Walk With God!

Master!
Let Me Walk With Thee!
I'm Trying!
I'm Willing!
I Desire To Obey!
Help Me, Lord, Please Help Me
I Desire Your Will To Obey!

Make Me Like You!
Now!
Today!
This Very Moment!
In This Hour!
I Know You Can!
I'm Inviting You Into My Heart!
Please Make It A Fit Residence
Just For You!
Fix Me, Jesus!
You, Alone, Can Fix Me!

I No Longer Walk This Vale Of Tears
Alone!
My Heart Is In His Hand!
My Life Is His ... Alone
Because
He, It Is
Who Is The One
Who ... For My Personal Sin
Did
With Innocent Blood
Sweat And Tears
Atone!

I Cannot Leave Him Alone!
I Must Stay The Course
Because
I Desire Residence With Him
In The Eternal Home!


Take My Life, Lord
And
Consecrate It To Your Service!

Personal Puzzler: Christian Talkie Walky





My Christian Talk and
My Christian Walk are best friends
It is alleged that they are bound for Heaven
However, before they can enter there
They will God's Looking Glass share!

My Christian Walk had heel spurs and finger calluses
Empty bank account and
Old outdated clothing
And not a true friend to His Poor Name
But happy countenance joyfully displayed He
And Prayer Unceasing was his favorite cup of tea!

My Christian Talk has mucho friends
Money galore
Clothing to fill a boutique store
Hands as smooth as a baby's behind
His feet never knew a hill nor incline to climb.

His attitude did on the last nerve grate
He knew the Mind of God
He loved to set dates
He could tell in a split second who was to God true
He knew alllll that there was of Jesus to know
And weekly he put on A True Christian Spectacular Show!

One day, Great Earth's end was by The Holy God pronounced
The Time of Harvest was duly truly announced:


"Wheat Sheep on the Right!
Goat Grapes on the Left!
Take your position
#TheEternalGodIsOnTheFinalMission! "

Christian and Christian both headed for The Wheat Sheep Gate
And soon they were at the head of the Line
But only One was accepted for his walk did by Grace Shine
And One Christian was cast aside by the Great Lord God Divine!


Which Christian entered in at The Straight Gate?

Which Christian do you seek to have in yourself revealed?
