VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Look At Foolishness!

 











Have-All Got-Nothing Was The BMIT Aka The Big Man In Town 
And
To Promote It
He Drove A Brand New BMW Aka Big Man Wagon! 

He Had Big Bucks 
And 
He Could Buy And Sell Anything
Everything
And 
Anybody In Town! 

Everybody, Somebody, And Nobody At All 
Were Afraid Of Him! 

What  People Didn't Know Was That In Truth And In Fact That 
It Was He Who Was Afraid Of Them 
Because 
Without Their Fear Of Him
He Had No Control Over Them! 

Look At Bare Foolishness! 

He Was The Boogeyman Who Didn't Have A White Sheet To Wear 
Nor A Night-Wind To Blow It About! 

Have-All Got-Nothing Was Just Like That Laodicean Church 
Which Said It Was Rich And Increased With Goods 
And 
Had Need Of Nothing 
But Was, Instead
Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind, And Naked! 

Beloved, 

Saying Something Doesn't Make It So! 

Believing Something Doesn't Make It True! 

Throwing Ones Wealth And Weight Around 
To Make Others Fear And Tremble 
Doesn't Make One Almighty God 

... And ... 

Christians Who Doubt The Eternal Word Of The Everlasting Father 
Are Calling Almighty God A Liar 
When We Tremble And Live In Fear Before Mere Men 

... And ... 

That Damned-Forever Father-Liar, Satan! 

All Men Have A Master 

...  And ... 

So Does Satan, Too! 

Brethren, 

Please Let Us Tremble And Fear Before The Lord
The King Of Glory ... Our Maker, Sustainer
Maintainer, Savior, Friend, And Redeemer 
For He Is The Truth
Our Peace
Our Life
And 
The Light Of Every Man Aka Human! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + God's Gifts Are Eternal!

 






When Someone Leaves Something That 
You Desperately Need In Your Hot Hand
You Gratefully, Eagerly
Gladly Close Your Hand Tightly Over It
And 
Seal It In A Death Grip That 
No One This Side Of Glory Can Unclasp! 

Beloved, 
This Is How We Must Interact 
With Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Peace 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ Gives The Peace! 
We, Believers In Jesus, Death-Grip The Perfect Peace 
And 
No Damned Devil
Nor Self-Deceived Minion
Nor Demon-Inspired Heathen 
Or Hellion On Satan's "Payroll" 
And 
Known Bound For The Fire And Brimstone Bath
Can Get Peace Even Out Of Your Then-Cold-By-Death Grip! 

What Christ Gives 
Is 
Our Own To Have
And 
To Hold Now
And 
Even Forevermore! 

Jesus Christ ... The Lord ... The King 
Doesn't Take Back His Gifts From Us! 

We, Unbelieving, Doubting, Distrusting
Beguiled Aka Fooled, Tricked
By Wandering Eyes And Affections
Throw Back .. Throw Away ... The Heavenly Gifts 
Into The Lord's Dear Face 
And
Then Suffer Horribly, Unnecessarily, For Our Folly: 
Some People Die In Or For Their Folly! 

Remember, Beloved
Almighty God Is True ... The Truth
And 
All Human Beings 
And 
All Fallen Angels 
Are Known And Bold Liars! 

Dare To Know The Truth That Sets You Free
And 
Choose 
To Be Perfectly Peaceful 
In Christ's Precious Peace
That Is His Personal Gift To You Personally!



Don't Be Like Lot's Wife!
Don't Despise
The Gifts Of Almighty God!

Are You Saying That You Never Had A Glass!?!






The Great God Of Grace And Glory 
Has Boldly Gifted 
And 
Blessed Us With His Peace 
And 
Covered Us With His Plain Words Of Love, Care 
And 
Caution: 
How Do You Respond To Disappointments, Challenges
Set-Backs, Set-Ups
Sorrows
And 
Shame!?! 

Do You Stop To Evaluate The Situation 
And 
Pray For Peace And Power To Press On 
Or
Do You Lash Out Angrily, Aggressively
Arrogantly, Hostilely And Hatefully 
Or
Do You Say That The World Never Liked You 
And 
Head For The Nearest Exit 
Or 
Do You Suck On Your Thumb
Rock Yourself To Sleep
Say That You Never Had A Glass 
Or Ever Get Anything To Put In A Glass
And 
Try To Kill The Messengers 
Who Are The Lord's Workmen!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe
And 
Trust The Lord Of Life
And 
Obey The Word Of The Holy God 
- Who Loves Us Sacrificially -
Know That We Do Not Walk Alone
And 
Understand That We Have For Our Help 
The God Who Knows All Things
 And
Does What's Best For His Dear Children! 

Please ... 

Let Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Remember Whose Children We Are
Glory In The Fact That He Overcame 
So That We Can Overcome All Things In His Name
And 
Never Forget That Our Home 
- In His Father's House Of Peace And Joy - 
Is 
Just Over The Hill-Top!

Truth ... The Truth ... Cannot Fail Us
So Let Us Rejoice Greatly That
Soon Coming
 Is
Our Promised Relief! 

Hold On To The Blessed Hope: 
Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace! 
Pray For Peace!

Looking For Peace!?! + PRAYER: Have Mercy, Father, And Grant Perfect Peace!





Peace Is Desired By All 
And 
Acquired By Few 
Because 
Most Of Mankind Believes That Access To Money
Sex, Drugs, Alcohol
Power, Position, Popularity, Notoriety
The Acquisition Of Many Toys And Rare Treasures
And 
Time For Playing, Partying
And 
"Doing You!" 
And 
"Living Your Truth!" 
Brings The Peace Which Is Of Jesus Christ The Lord ... Alone
And 
Which Cannot Be Begged, Bought Or Bartered! 

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord
For His Great Goodness 
To The Children Of Men! 

A Life Without Jesus Christ 
Is 
A Life Where There Are WARS:
Worry
Anguish Of Spirit
Restlessness Of Mind
Sadness And Sorrow! 

Oh, That Men Would Accept That 
Jesus Christ's Holy Word Is As He Is:
Good, Kind And Ever True! 

Peace ... Perfect Peace
Is 
The Gift Freely, Generously, Willingly, Given 
- Free Of Encumbrances, Clearly Identified
And Easily Apprehended - 
By The Eternal, Almighty, God Of Grace And Glory
To Every Man, Woman And Child On This Earth! 

An Unaccepted, Unopened
Personal Gift
Is Of No Value To Anyone Else!

If You Want Jesus Christ's Peace, Take It
And
The Only Way To Do That
Is
To Believe The Promise Made
And
By The Bold Exercise Of Faith ... Another Free Gift 
Receive The Gift Given With Gratitude! 

With The Recognition Of Personal Need
With The Willingness To Acknowledge From Whom The Gift Comes
With The Willingness To Trust The Holy Word Of The Promise-Keeper
You Will Know Of A Surety That You Are
And 
Will Be, Blessed From The Source! 

Shiloh Means Peace! 
Jesus Christ, Prince Shiloh
Is 
Our Peace
So Don't Waste Your Precious, Finite, Time
Searching For
Wallowing In
Being Exercised By
That Which Will Not Cause You To Enjoy 
Peace ... Rest And Joy! 

PRAYER:

Father Of The Faithful
Giver Of Good Gifts
I Come To You, Believing, Trusting
Desiring Always
Accepting Gratefully
Your Blessed Gift Of Perfect Peace
Which Contains Rest And Joy!
Thank You For Your Dear Grace! 

Father,
Everywhere Around Me
Are Wandering Souls Known Lost
Looking, Longing, Laughing, Lying, Dying
Bearing The Unbearable Cross
Because They Know Not Christ
And
They Know No Peace
Since All They Treasure Are Things Not Pure
Those Things That Contain Deceptive Alloys! 

I Exercise, Dear Father
My Gift Of Daily Faith In Their Behalf
And
I Ask You, I Beseech You, Please
Open Their Diseased And Blind Eyes
Unstop Their Itching Ears
Help Them To Stop Hardening Their Hearts
In Known Rebellion
And
Help Them To See Their Need Of
Jesus Christ The King
By Whom They Were Created
For Whom They Should Live
And
Through Whom They Are Ever-Blessed! 

Please Help Them, Father
To Humble Themselves
And
To Yield Their Will
To The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit
Who Gently Leads All Souls Willing
Into Everlasting Truth! 

Please Help Them To Be Wise Unto Salvation! 
Help Them To Deny Satan, The Gross Liar
And
Help Them To Embrace The Life That Lasts
By Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
And
Taking Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion
So That They Will, Indeed
Be Forever Blessed! 

Please Let Your Name Be Glorified
And
Jesus Christ Praised
For It Is In His Matchless, Holy, Name
That I Ask, In Faith, These Few Petitions! 

Incline Your Ear Toward Us, Father
And
Grant Us Thy Everlasting Peace! 
I Love You! 
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!

THE SHIP: We Are Not Alone!





Look Up And Lift Up Have A Hope:
Their Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!

Look Up And Lift Up Have A Future
And
An Expected End
Because
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Lord Of Life
Is 
Their Shepherd
And
The Rock Of Their Salvation
Their Sure And Only Defence!

They Are Not Doubters!
They Do Not Ride The Fence!
They Are Renewed, Reformed
Converted Believers
Living Their Lives For Their Jesus
And
They Are Expecting 
A Placid-Sea Unexpected But Certain Storm!

Brainerd!?!

Yes, Bawsee!

You Know That I Went To School Long
But Not Too Regular
And That What I Learnt I Learnt Real Good!

Indeed!

You Also Know That I Ain't Born After My Mother Dead
So Please Explain To Me
In Little Words If You Please
How Can One Expect The Unexpected!?!
How Can One Experience A Storm On A Calm Sea!?!

Bawsee, Are You A Christian!?!

Yes, Indeed, I Am!

Would You Consider Your Life A Ship!?!

Definitely ... I'm A Traveller! 
Yes!

Are You Living For Jesus Christ!?!

Boldly! Like A Boss, See!

Yes, Bawsee! We've All Heard It Before!

Is Your Life All Smooth Sailing!?!

Absolutely Not!
One Minute I'm Enjoying The Peaceful Trade Winds
And The Next Minute
 I'm In The Midst Of The Atlantic Storm Season ...!

You've Stopped Talking!?!

Is Something Wrong!?!

Don't Play Smart With Me!
You Know Very Well That There's Something Wrong!

And, Pray Tell Us, What Would That Something Be!?!

That Something, Brethren
Is The Ship Called Reality!

Hot Diggedy Dog!

Is Jesus Christ Your Pilot
The Captain Of Your Ship
The Lord That Leads Your Life
The One Who Will See You Through The Mortal Strife
Then ...!

... Expect The Unexpected Storm In The Calm, Placid, Sea!

I Just Thought Of Something:
Jesus, Resting Peacefully, On The Pilot's Pillow
On A Calmly Rocking Boat
On The Glassy Sea That Is Galilee! 

Suddenly ... Unexpectedly
A Storm Of Wind
Turns The Placid To Raging
Filling The Boat With Water
Threatening To Sink It
And Kill All On Board!

How Comes Everybody Is Afraid
And One Person In Particular
Sleeps Through A Killer Hurricane At Sea!?!

It Happens When That One Person
Rests ... Peacefully
On The Word Of Their Father
And
Trusts In The Mighty, Loving, Hand Of 
Their Heavenly Father
- The Eternal God -
For Their Provision
For Their Peace
For Their Power
For Their Protection!

You Do Realize, Don't You
That Jesus, Unafraid
Stood Up ... Straight
On A Tossed Ship
In The Midst Of The Raging Storm
And
Rebuked ... Told Off ... The Wind
And 
It Immediately Stopped Howling Like A Banshee
And
Not Finished
He Told The Sea:

Here Is Peace! 
Be Still!


And 
The Sea Took A Nap
Or Better Yet
Went Back To Being Nice!?!

The Sea Recognized That Voice
The Voice Of His Creator
Who Told Him At His Genesis

So Far And No Farther!


Blessed Be The Ties That Bind ...

With Jesus In The Family
We Have A Happy Home!
With Jesus As Captain Of The Ship
We Shall Reach The Bound For And Safe Shore!
When You Hear The Holy Spirit Calling
Know That Jesus Is Knocking At Your Door
And
Make The Blessed Decision
- The Decision For Eternal Life -
And
Fling Open Your Heart's Door
And
Invite Jesus Christ To Enter In
To Take Total Control
And
To Pilot You Safely, Gently
To The Everlasting Shore!

Truth Frees The Soul ...

For Ever Raging Storm
Every Insurmountable Mountain
Every Deep, Dank, Dark, Valley
Every Tempestuous, Debilitating, Thought
Every Binding, Besetting, Sin
All Sickness And Wrenching Sorrow
Through Unmitigated Suffering ...!

... It Is Jesus! 
It Is And Has Always Been Jesus!

Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Only Jesus Christ Satisfies!

Only Jesus Blesses
Comforts, Heals, Seals
Reveals
And
Leads Us Into Perpetual Rest!

Jesus Christ Is Peace!

Look Up And Lift Up
Know And Have The Right:

Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!


Soon Jesus Shall Breach The Eastern Sky
And 
To The Glorious Rest Home
- With The Saints Of All The Ages -
We Shall, Rejoicing, Fly!

What An Amazing Grace!

We Must Remember To Remember That
Jesus Christ Stands Up ... Straight
- Weight Of Problems Do Not Impact His Posture -
Controls Events
Speaks With Creative Power
And
Always, Always, In All Ways
Protects Those Who, By Sacrifice
And
In Covenant Love
Are Truly, Enduringly, His Very Own!

This Is Gospel Good News!
We Are Not Alone!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Prince Of Peace!?!






Jesus Christ The Righteous
IS
The Prince Of Peace
Who Brought A Sword To The Men Of The Earth
Which Sword Is Sin Relief!

Here We Go Again!
Another Conundrum!

A Peacemaker Who Carries A Sword?!
Wow! I'm Under Overwhelmed!

Bite Yer Tongue!

Hey!
Wasn't A Peacemaker A Gun In The Wild West?!

Yes, It Was
But You Need To Widen Your Focus!

How?!
Every Peacemaker That I Know Off
Started A War!

Widen Your Focus ... Out And Up!
Think Vertically!
See Through The Eyes Of Faith
That Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us!

Oh! My Bad!

Why Did Cain Kill Abel?!

Cain Was Disobedient Presumptuous And Jealous
Aka Wicked!
Abel Operated Under The Obedience Of Faith!

Abel's Righteous Works Accused Cain's Disobedience!

Why Did Sanballat Hate Hezekiah?!

Sanballat Was Corrupt And Evil!
Hezekiah Labored Diligently By Faith 
And Feared The Living God?!

Why Did King Saul Hate David?!

Saul Was Disobedient, Presumptuous
Wilful And Wickedly Murderous Evil!
David Walked With God In Obedience ...!

... Really?!

Really
Minus The Bathsheba Affair
For Which He Abjectly Completely
- With Contrite Heart -
Repented!

Oh.

Why Did The Jewish Leaders Hate Stephen?!

Stephen Was On Fire For Almighty God
And Full Of Good Works!
The Jewish Leaders
- Wicked Deceitful Puffed Up
Dishonest Treacherous Murderous -
Were Heated From Hell!

Why Did Haman The Agagite
Hate Mordecai?!

Plain Case Of Good Versus Evil!

Haman Wanted The Worship
Mordecai, In Obedience, Reserved For The Living God!

Mordecai Believed And Trusted God's Word!

So, Let Me Ask You The Question!
Why Does Satan Hate Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

  • Good Versus Evil
  • Love Versus Hate
  • Truth Versus Error
  • Selfish Desire Versus Yielding To God's Will
Aka
- In All Instances -

Good People
AND
Good Works
Placing
Bad People
AND
Bad Works
Into Disclosing Exposing Revealing Bright Light!

Soooo, How Does This Correlate
To Jesus The Peacemaker Wielding A Sword?!

Glad You Asked!
Jesus Christ Is Our Peace
Bearing The Sword Of The Holy Spirit
Which Is
The Word Of God
Which Is
The Light Of Truth
Which Leads Us
Into The Eternal God's Everlasting Life!

The Light Of Truth
Is The Disclosing Agent
Which Glows In The Dark
Exposing Known Sin
AND
Revealing Inward Darkness
AND
Cutting Off The Way Of Escape
Used On The Path Of Denial!

I Get You ... Now!

The Word Of Truth
From The Prince Of Peace
Ignites
The Tinder Of Sin Within
The Darkened Soul Of Fallen Man
AND
All Who Hear The Word
Must Respond
- One Way Or The Other -
AND
The Only Way To Still The Convicted Spirit
Is To Hurt
Damage
Maim
Destroy
Make Its Presence Absent
With Prejudice
AND
With Finality
Killing It!

Put Another Way ...

Evil Gets "Peace" From Knowing Evil Is Evil
By Killing Peace 
Which Brings Peace To Evil

By Exposing Evil
Who Needs Peace From Evil 

Who Kills Peace 
Because Evil Is Evil 
And
Knows Not Peace
Which Brings Perfect Peace ... And Rest!!

What He Said!

So What Have We Gleaned?!

Peace From Truth Is A Sword!

Peace Is A Purity That Condemns
The Urges And Habits Of The Sin Life!

Peace Is A Lead Balloon
Among The Helium-Filled Balloons Of Sin!

Peace Is Like Clorox 
On A Warlike Black Character!

Peace Damages
Peace Cuts 
The Fabric Of Sin ...!

... Jesus' Peace Is A Sword ...!

... Which Challenges The Status Quo
Of Business As Usual
Which Upsets The Currency Of Sin
Which Destroys Satan's Ability
Another Soul
To Darkness
To Win
AND
This Does Not Sit Well With Him
AND
The Result Is ...!

... Jesus Got Killed ...!
... His Adherents Will Likewise Follow ...!
... Peace Is A Sword!

Bottom Line ...

The Word Of Truth
Doesn't
Can't 
Won't Lie!
Jesus Christ's Peace
IS
A Sword!

DEVILISH ANGER : Jesus' Peace!

The Love Of God
Gives Us Peace
BUT
The Wrath Of Satan
Ignites Our Anger
AND
Because The Two
In Harmony
Cannot Exist
The Life Of The Conflicted Soul
Is Anything But Bliss!

Jesus The Christ
Promised To Give Us Peace
That Passes Human Understanding
AND
That Is Because
Human Peace Comes At The Cost
Of A Pill
A Perversion
A Practice
An Excursion
AND
Still The Poor Buyer
Longs For Peace
That Only Comes
From The Lord
Not That Vile Devilish
Parasitic Beast!

Peace For Man
Was Purchased By Innocent Blood
AND
Is Available
For Free
Just By Asking
AND NEVER
Never Gotten
By In Sin Basking!

Jesus' Peace Pervades Pleasantly
The Soul
BUT
Satan-Inspired Anger 
Aggressively Antagonizes The Soul
Placing Partitions
Against Truth And Right
AND
Does The Unwary Soul
Into Conflagration Ignite!

You Should Know That ...

Righteous Anger
Is A Passion With A Purpose
Ignited Against Sin
AND
Not Against An Animal
Or A Man
Who In The Field
Patiently Works For Us
Just To Make A Sparse Living!

Be Not As Balaam
Against The Donkey
Nor As Moses Inadvisedly
Striking The To-Be-Spoken-To Rock
Nor As Herod The Great One
Killing Babies
To Protect A Crown
That By Sin He Had Attached!

The Peace Of God
In The Son Of God
Stymied Satan's Attempts
To Get The Christ
To Indulge In Anger
To Commit Sin
AND
All Who Will Be Followers
Of The Father Of Lights
Need To Give In To The Holy Spirit
So That The Pulsations Of Anger
Do Not Cause Us
Like Cain
Like Satan
Like Esau
To Be Cast Out
Into The Dark Dark Night!

Anger Is Bitter!
Peace Is Sweet!

Anger Is A Hot Rocket Propelled Often
By Cruel Hate's Heat

BUT ...

Peace Is A Soft Breeze
Smelling Of Love Holy
True
Deep
Ever Present
Never Late
So
Let Peace ... Free Peace
Be Yours
Before The Lord Christ Closes 
Mercy's Now Open Gate!

Instead Of Grappling With Hate
On Your Shredded Knees
Turn To Jesus Christ's Light
AND
Receive Jesus Christ's Peace
AND
Walk
- Feet Shod -
With The Lord!
You'll Attend The Welcome Feast!
