REVIVAL AND REFORMATION: There Are No Shortcuts To The Everlasting Kingdom!





Almighty God Is Love 
And 
He Is Also The God Of Justice:
Love And Justice Are Inextricably Linked! 

Almighty God Is Grace 
And 
He Is Also Mercy, And Truth, And Salvation: 
They Cannot Be Separated 
For, Together, They Make Up His Character! 

Why, Then, Are Preachers, Priests And Pastors 
Telling Hurting Souls To Come To Jesus
Live As You Like ... God Loves You As You Are
Ignore The Bible ... The Preserved, Known-Infallible Word
And 
The Lord Will Take You Home To Glory
No Questions Asked!?! 

Is The Living God A Liar!?! 
Can The Lord Separate Himself From Himself For Us Modernites 
And 
Not For The Pre-Flood Generation 
And 
Those From Sodom And Gomorrah!?! 

Is It Safe To Trust A God Who Is Changeable!?! 

Beloved, 

Think Hard! 
Satan Cannot Go Back To Glory! 
By Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 
And 
Our Father God's Grace 
- Combined With Our Faithful Obedience -
We Are Headed Home 
And 
Satan's Scorched-Earth, No-Survivors-Left Mission 
Is 
To Stop Us From Getting There! 

Dare To See ... And Acknowledge ... Your Peril
Know Your Savior 
And 
Aggressively Resist Your Enemy!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...
 
The Eternal God Glorious Doesn't Change 
But 
We Must 
Or 
We Shall Not See Him In Peace!  

Revival And Reformation 
Is 
The Lot Of The People Of God! 
Dare To And Live Like You Truly Love 
And 
Know That You Belong To Jesus Christ
The King Of Glory! 

There Are No Shortcuts
To The Everlasting Kingdom!
Live For The Lord! 
Be Like Jesus! 

To Live In Jesus' Peace
Is
To Know Joy Forever!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: SELF ... Daring Almighty God?!



... The Questions Are Simple:

Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?!
Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish
Even Egregiously Bad Decisions
Cost Me My Life?!
AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered
How Each Person's Free Will
Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice
AND
"No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour 
WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!

I Once Heard A Pastor Say
That Because He Is So Certain
Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation
That He Would Not Defend Himself
Against An Intruder
A Bandit
Even If It Cost Him His Life
Because
It Could Lead To
- AFTER 
His Demise -
That Bold And Ravening Sinner
Repenting Of Known Sin
AND
Coming To Jesus
AND
Being Saved For Eternity!

Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:

Greater Love Hath No Man
But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!


And I Would Say
That He Is Wrong?!

I Agree!
Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!

Jesus Christ's Life
Is The Only Life
That Was 
That Is 
The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!

Everybody Knows Right From Wrong!
God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart
So That They Are Without Excuse!

But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!

Indeed ...!

So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Now Is The Acceptable Time!
Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!

What Of The Martyrs?!

What About
If We Confess Our Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
To Forgive Us Our Sin
And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!

What About
If Any Man Hear My Voice
And Answer?!

What About Harden Not Your Heart?!

What Of 
Get Wisdom!
Get Understanding?!

What Of
Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of
THE WHOLE MATTERFear God
And Keep His Commandments
For The Living God IS Judge?!

What Of 
My Reward Is With Me
To Give Everyman According As
His Personal Work Shall Be?!

Harden Not Your Hearts!

Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!

Blood As Seed Works
While God's Mercy Is Still Working!
It Won't Work
When Man's Probation Is Finished!

This, Somehow 
- To Me -
Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!

... Just Like Death Bed Confessions
And
Death Bed Repentances!

Too, True!
Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!

Think About This:

You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately
AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die
... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!

That's Presumptuous!

We Need To Confess Our Known Sin
And Repent To God Every Day
In Jesus Christ's Name
For
No Man Knows The Day
Nor The Hour
WHEN
The Son Of Man Cometh
Is All That I'm Going To Say!

Be Careful
Ye That Think Ye Stand
Lest Ye Fall!

No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!
We Daily Sin
By Thought Word And Deed
AND
We Need To Remember The Word:




Every Man Has The Same Opportunity
AND
We Should Remember That
The Soul That Sins
It Shall Die
AND
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!

Any Final Thoughts ...

By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified!
By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!

I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea
Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!

Nowhere In Scripture
Will You Find A Saint Of God
Presuming Upon God's Mercy
In Such An Unseemly Manner!

We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ
And For The Sake Of The Gospel!

We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion
Have The Right
Nor The Power
To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed
And Be Hopeful Of Something
That In All Likelihood
May Never Happen!

No Criminal Ever Said
Or Will Ever Say: 

I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man
A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation
A Heaven-Bound Saint
And God ... 
The Living Eternal God Of All Grace
Who Pays All
BUT
Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian
To Be A Human Christ
AND
Who Knows The Thoughts
AND
Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart
Is Going To
- In Servile Cooperation 
For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice - 
Convert Me
And Save My Soul
From The Second Death
Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning
AND
Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace
AND
Have Purposefully Chosen
The Way Wherein Lies
Death!


You Ain't Lie!

Wouldn't It Be Easier
For The Christian
In Faith
For Faith
To Pray:

God Have Mercy!
Save Me!


And Then Say
To That Wilful Sinner:

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Stop!?


The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder
AND
By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts
Caused Many Christians To Perish!
 
Jesus Christ, Himself
Met The Then-Called Saul
- On His Way To Harm More Christians -
AND
Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting
Not The Christians
But Christ, Indeed
AND
Blinded Him
AND
Cast Down His Vain Imaginings
AND
Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness
For Three Days
- The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave -
To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!

He Repented
AND
Was Converted
AND
Physical Scales
- At The Appointed Time -
Fell From His Eyes
AND
He Became 
The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!

Paul Was Humbled
AND
He Humbled Himself!

Not Once Did He Say:

I Shall Let Them
- The Adversaries -
Kill Me
So That They
- By My Personal Sacrifice -
WILL
Be Saved!

Paul Did All To Preserve His Life! 

Paul Did Not Indulge
In Heaven-Daring Arrogance
Because He Had
"An In ... An Inside Track To God!"

That Faithful Apostle
At His Life's End
Said:






Paul Trusted The Lord
AND
The Word Of The Lord
AND
He Chose To LIVE
For His Jesus
AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin
Dying-Through-Sin
Men's Souls!

The Point Here Is ...

As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:

Which Is Easier?
To Say
Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee! 
OR
Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!


Which In This Case, Is
Dare To Die For The Sinner 
Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved
AND
You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost
Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed
OR
Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus
By Fervent Prayer
AND
Request The Angel Guard
While Also Requesting
That The Holy Spirit
Meet The Evil-Doer
Face To Face!

Brethren,
If You Say
You Trust Believe Worship Praise
Obey Honor
AND
Glorify Almighty God
In Your Person
Do It All Day
Every Day
In Every Way
In Every Situation!

There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven!
There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!

The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!
AND
The Key To The Door Is Living Faith! 

The Way IS Straight And Narrow
For We Must Live By Christ
- The Way The Truth And The Life -
AND
We Are Not To Do Anything
That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown
AND
That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS
Eternal Life!

Brethren,

I Caution You
AND
Myself
I Am Certainly Including:

Check Yourself
Before You Wreck Yourself!

Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God
For Our Lives!! 

Be Faithful ... Unto Death!
Don't Call Death Unto You!

What Is Our Watch-Word?!

Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Please Do All
To Grow In Daily Grace
Through Your Working Faith
For, Soon
- Very Soon -
We Shall See Jesus Christ
Face To Face!

THE ETERNAL CURE: Sin Comes A' Calling!




Sin is All Around Us!
Sin Goes By Very Many Fanciful Names!
Sin Wears Sophisticated Garments, and
Struts About - Day and Night
Wearing Expensive Dark Glasses Sun Shades!

Sin Is Familiar To Sinners!
Sin Is Well-known To Now-Saints!
Sin Is On The Commodity Market, and
Sin Is Even Carrying Holding Out Church Offering Plates!

Sin Has An Advertising Agency!
Sin Has A Merchandising Team!
Sin Has An Electronic Game Board!
Sin Holds State Town Country City Elections!
Sin Has Rockets, Horses,  Jets and Gold-plated Banana Peels, and
Sin Is A Beautiful "Circumspect" Woman 
Wearing Expensive Garments and High Heels!

Sin Has Friends and Enemies which State
Makes No Difference To Sin!
Sin Is Really Wicked Unjust!
Sin Lives Laughs and Lures The Unwary With Lust, and 
When They Are Lost
Asks Maliciously:

"Well,  Now? What's Created This Great Big Little Fuss!"

Sin Is A Malignancy!
Sin Is As Cancer In Man's Flesh!
When Sin Is Conceived 
Sin Burrows
Sin Crawls
Sin Spreads
Sucking Life's Blood
Strangling Vitality 'n Life
Trying It's Best To Kill The Host
Though Knowing Full Well
That Killing The Host
Will Kill Sin Dead As The Proverbial Door-Post!

"Big Deal!" says Sin
"There're More Like Them
Waiting On Cracking Tree Limbs To Perform My Vice!"

"I AM Sin!"
I AM The Master Of Deception! 
I AM The Pretty Polished Poseur
Peddling Posies from
Putrid to Plain!"

"I AM The Purveyor Of Phantasms
Poison Parties Pens and Pins, and
Pointy Pebbles Poking Pinkie-Toes
And ... Believe It Or Not
My Personal Favorite Has Got To Be 
Rusty Nails In Ill-fitting Shoes With 
Hidden In Plain View Open Holes!"

"I Do Not Care About You!
I Just Want To Destroy You and 
Keep You From Holding On To The Holy Christ Jesus
The Only Savior Who Sacrificially Loves Man!"

"Seriously, Friend! I Really Do Not Care About You!
I Just Want You and Me To Special-Touch!
I Just Want You To Hold-Squeeze Me!
I Want You To Trustingly Loyally Lovingly Console Enfold Me!"


"I AM SIN!
and
Secretly Satisfy 
Intense Internal 
Natural Needs!

So, You Need To Get A Grip
and
Give Me A Feed!

Just Give Me A Little Seed
and 
Watch Me Grow!
Then ... Lo 
and 
Behold
I Shall Be Your King!

I Shall Be Your Master
Even If I Have To 
Block You
Tackle You 
and
Put You In Traction
In A Whole-Body Plaster!

Won't You Please Love Me A Little
Even Though I Can't Love You Back?"

My Eye Lead Me!

I once let My Eye Lead Me
Down The Primrose Garden Path
And when The Journey was all over
I had purchased for Myself a Golden Calf!

My Eye had an annoying habit
Of buying what did My stomach overfill
And it always left me feeling
Like I was a trussed-up chicken waiting 
For the Butcher to come and kill!

You would think that I would acquire some Commonsense
But you would be wrong on that very score
I again let My Eye make another purchase
And Hell came knocking trying to break down My front door!


Lord, if ever I needed You
Today would be The Day
Please Help Me for
Devil Dog and You Ate Bought It
Are playing "We Got A Covetous Pup To Make Pay!"

Lord, I know that I have been Seriously Lawless
But I finally have had My Fill
Lust of This Flesh
Lust of My Eye
Pride of This Life
Have been holding sway
But if You would condescend to help a Foolish One
I promise to live My Life evermore as You Command
Help Me, for I'm about to be undone!


"Child, rescuing You is No Condescension
When Lifting You up is My Sacrificial Goal
Repent, turn away, walk on in My Light
And soon You Will Walk on The Eternal Shore.

Turn, turn, away from The Dead Things
The Dying Joys of The World
Come to Me - I AM Your Savior
With Me Life Ends in Great Reward!"


From That Day until This Day 
On which we are conversing
I have put My Shoulder to the Gospel Plow
And by God's Grace and a Living Faith
I'm Walking Straight and Behaving like 
Chubby, The Contented Cow!


This World No Longer Fills These Eyes of Mine!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Iniquity Abounds








Iniquity abounds
Thou knowest that God frowns
Remember that at Noah's time people drowned
This time fire will rain down.

I get very frightened
When I hear people speak dismissively of God
They speak as though God is a Mock-man
And Satan is someone of whom one can be proud.

I feel my skin go clammy
I feel my eyes dilate
I tremble when I hear them speaking of Almighty God
With much disdain and real hate!

Oh, Lord, have mercy upon your people
The Minions of Hell are no more on a secret rampage
For those who should have been teaching Truth to the People
Have sold Believers and Seekers out for desire of food, fame and really high wage!

Lust of the Flesh
Lust of the Eye
The Pride of Life - Real strokes of genius
Tried and true - Satan tried them out on the Lord
Jesus quoted Satan The "It is Written" - he fled
Judas didn't - and he will be eternally dead.

As for me, I'm trying to get God's Holy Word inside this heart and head.

God's People!
Don't give up the Journey to Salvation
Don't lie down and play dead because of a setback that you felt
Was a deal breaker between you and The Great Creator!
God can will save you IF you go to Him in prayer, and confess, and repent.

Pray to God the Father in the Name of The Son - King Jesus
Go to Him under God The Holy Spirit's Agency
This Godhead ever abides
Don't believe Old Satan's lies
For Living Fire will consume those
Who choose Living The High Life instead of Eternal Life
Which comes from accepting Jesus' Sacrifice and not living for feelings, fun and favorite buys!

All told, That Day Coming will be Momentous!
Stupendous!
Glorious!
The Faithful Dead and Living will Rise!
The Not Rising Up will cry and die
After saying: "He IS Real, and we are not saved!"
But it will be ... too late
For
High Flown Knowledge Education cost them Eternal Life -
They chose Satan for their Forever Date Mate.
