VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONSEQUENCES!

KJV Ecclesiastes 5:6
6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

The Concept Is Old And Is Ever New
And 
We Will All Live And Die By Its Outworking! 

Brethren, 

Should We Each Do An Internal Inventory Of Our Past Works Aka Deeds
We Will All Recognize And Remember That 
We Made Our Decisions To Act, Or Not
By Giving Vent To That "Glorious" Statement 
"Consequences Be Damned!" 

Today, I Ask Us All The Question: 

Should Not We Each Make Our Willing Decision 
For Eternal Life In Our Lord Christ 
By Saying 

"Our Consequences Are Blessed Of The Eternal God 
Though Apparently Executed By Published-Abroad 
Known-Ungodly And Accursed Men 
Inspired And Motivated By The Damned Devil!" 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Stand With The Brave 
Knowing That Jesus Christ Alone Saves 
And 
Raises His Blessed Dead To Live Forever 
In The Paradise Of God 
Where All Is Love, Joy, And Perfect Peace! 

Now Is Not The Time To Be Wafflers And Fence-Jockeys! 

Now Is The Time To Be Very Courageous 
And 
To Boldly Live Under The Abiding Love
The Gentle Gaze
And 
The Loving Touch Of Our Master's Hands! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord Reigns And Rules Over All! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rally Around The Lord Christ's Cross!













Brethren, 

I Don't Know About You
But 
I Have Noticed That Active, Willing, Sinning 
Is 
Now "The Thing!" 

There Is The Apparent And Obvious Trend 
Toward Letting Your Flag Of Personal Desire Aka Choice Sin 
Be Joyfully Waved And Flown High! 

Dear Ones, 

This Thing Should Alarm Us All 
And 
Should Also Cause All Of Us 
- Who Have Chosen Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion -
To Be Humble And Hopeful Outliers 
- Not Out And Proud Liars - 
Who Distinctively Sound The Battle Cry Of Salvation 
And
The Invitation To The Welcome Home Feast For Christ's Faithful! 

Let Us Sow Seeds For Salvation With Our Lord And Savior 
Instead Of Scattering Seeds Of Self And Sin 
With And For That Serpent, Satan! 

Please Remember, Dear Ones, That 
Jesus Christ Creates 
But 
Satan The Damned Destroys 

And

Dare To Help Our Listing Brethren 
To See What Accepting The Gospel Of Grace 
Gains For Them In Almighty God's Glory! 
We May Cry Now In This Dark Night Of Sin 
But
All Of Christ's Faithful Will Eternally Enjoy Joy In His Presence 
In The Everlasting Morning In His Kingdom Of Light 
Because 
There Is No Night There! 

Be Wise For Yourself: 
Do Not Make Peace With Sin! 

Let Us Valiantly Choose To Make Peace With Peace! 
Peace Be Upon You Aka Jesus Christ Be With You!

DENY THE LIAR: Don't Ever Be Presumptuous!












Beloved, 

Please Do Not Be Presumptuous! 

You Are Not Called To Be Yourself! 
You, Me, We Are All Called To Be Like Jesus Christ! 

Don't Sit ... Don't Stand ... And Boldly Say: 
This Is Who I Am! 
I'm Changing For No Man! 

Are You Not Aware That 
When One Is In The Godly Relationship That
For Love, Not Fame, Fashion, Or Favor
Grace Causes One To Change 
So That Love Is A Sweet-Smelling Savor
For Joy, For Peace ... For Sweet Release!?! 

Do You Not Know
How Can You Not Understand That
To Be In A Committed Relationship With The Son Of God
The Son Of Man
You Come As You Are
But 
That Way You May Not Stay!?! 

Love Works! 
Love Worked! 
Love Is Working So Love Cannot Permit The Beloved 
To Remain Unclean: 
Holy Is The Lord Most High! 

To Be Like Him
We Must Self, Sin, And Satan Deny! 

We Must Cling To Truth With New Washed Hands 
If It Is Our Heart's Desire To Enter ... By Right
The Blessed, The Beautiful, Beulah Land! 

Justification Is Instant Change! 
Sanctification Is Continual Changing! 
Glorification Is Instantaneous Change
And 
None Of These Can We Do For Ourselves! 

Since We Are Living To Love The Lord
We Must Let The Love Of God Abide In Us 
Or Else In The Great Day Of Small Things
We Shall Be Like Him Who Saw Heavenly Love 
Through Self-Serving Eyes! 

That One Shall Surely Cry And Die! 

Dear Ones, 

Let's Do Right 
And 
The Father Liar's Lies Defy 
Because 
It Is Home With Christ Jesus That 
We Choose, By Appointment, To Fly! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Would You Take 1,000 Carefree Days Now And ...!?!




Which Would You Prefer To Have By Your Side: 
A Dozen Bruised, Broke, Honest 
And 
Faithful Performing Christians
With The Meek And Gentle Spirit 
Against Which There Is No Law 
Or 
One Hundred Polished, Rich, Dishonest
And 
Unfaithful, Disrespectful Evil-Doers 
Who Can Purchase Man-Judgment 
But 
Cannot Buy-Off The Judge Of All Flesh!?! 

Beloved, 

Would You Put You Your Life 
In The Hands Of Men Who Pervert Justice And Judgment 
Or
Would You Bless Yourself 
And
Place Your Life And Times 
Into The Hands Of Him Who Gave You Life 
And 
Determines The Length Of Your Days Upon This Earth!?! 

Would You Take 1,000 Care-Free Days Now 
And 
Lose Eternity To Come 
Or
Would You Accept 1001 Days Of Joy And Sorrow Now 
And
Receive The Joys Of Everlasting Life 
On The Blood-Promised Tomorrow 
By Standing In And Exercising Jesus Christ's Gift To You Of 
A Portion Of His Unfailing Faith!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Be Wise And Recognize That 
Your Decision Now 
Is 
The Difference Between Short Time And Almost Sweet Things 
Whilst Headed For Damnation 

And

Eternity And Everlasting Joys 
In The Holy God's Sweet, Sweet, Tomorrow 
In The Heavenly Canaan! 

Let Us Dare To Actively And Aggressively Learn The Difference 
Between Sweet Things And Everlasting Joys 
Because
Only One Comes Without Sorrow! 

Jesus Successfully Saves! 

Peace!

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!

TRANSFORMED: Unmasking The Masked!




Is Your Mask On!?! 
Is Your Facial Expression Shellacked In Place!?! 
Does Anyone Know The Real You 
Or Are They Just Looking At The Someone That 
Time And Circumstance Grew!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have All Worn Masks Of One Kind Or Another 
At One Time Or Another 
But
As Children Of The Father
As The-Bought With The Blood Of The Son
As Those Comforted By The Holy Spirit
We, By Faith, May Set Aside The False Image 
And 
By The Love Of Jesus Christ ... The Great Physician
Display The True Me ... The True You! 

Our Savior Could Not Lie 
And 
Let Us Die Lost! 
He Had To Live The Truth 
And 
Die The Death 
So That We, Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness
May Ultimately In The Father's House Of Joy And Peace 
Eternally Live! 

Masks Cast Shadows Which Hide The True 
And 
Highlight The False: 
This Behavior Practiced By Satan 
Placed Our Lord Upon Calvary's Cruel, Accursed, Cross! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
When We Must Throw Off The Mask Of Sin 
And 
Let The Light That Is The Life Of Our King Jesus 
Shine In Our Eyes 
Revealing Our New Lives! 

Nothing That Defiles May Enter The Glorious City 
And So 
I Beseech Us All To Get Rid Of Anything And Everything 
Which Will Stop Grace And Mercy 
From Transforming Our Lives! 

The Death-Mask Of Sin Is For A Time: 
Nothing That Bears The Stench Of Finite-Time 
Will Enter Eternity! 

Be Transformed: 
Renew Your Mind! 

Let The World See Jesus Christ In You! 

Smile: 
Drop Sin And Self 
And 
Keep Salvation 
And
Recognize That We Are At The Last Mile Marker 
On The Road To Home! 

Be Real! 
Get Ready! 
Be Redeemed! 

Peace!

Believe The Word Of The Infallible God!




Faith! Feelings! Facts! Failings! Future! 
Hmmm... 

The Lord Jesus Gives To Each Of Us A Daily Gift Of His Faith 
For That Day Alone 
But
Our Feelings Bring Up The Facts 
About Our Known Failings 
And
They Are Grounding Our Hopes Of 
A Future In The Father's House 
As Promised To Us By Our Savior Dear! 

Are You Going To Believe The Word Of God
The Truth That Saves
Or Are You Going To Trust Fraught Feelings 
Known Fickle Aka Flighty!?! 

Beloved

We Have The Infallible Aka Trust-Worthy Word Of 
The Living God Who Never Changes! 

Our God Is Not A Time-Bound Philosopher
A Paper Tiger
A Plaster Saint
Nor A Lying Man Who Changes His Mind 
As Often As He Changes His Garments 
And 
Direction Of Travel! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Set Our Temporal Clocks 
By The Sun Of Righteousness, The Eternal God
In Whom Is No Variableness Or Shadow Of Turning! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
And 
Our Savior Says: 


"Come Unto Me! 
Come And Dine! 
Make Your Home With Me! 
Trust Me And Obey! 
Take My Blessing 
Because
I Have Taken Away Your Blight
Your Sin! 

Your New Life Is In Me! 

You Confessed And Repented Of Your Sin 
And
Because I Am Faithful And Just
I Forgive You! 

Rest In Me And Be Refreshed! 

Hold My Hand! 
By Enduring Faith, Not Fickle Feelings
Be Anchored In Me! 

I Give You Joy!" 

Beloved, 

A Working Faith Can Never Fail 
So I Choose To Accept The Lord's Unspeakable Gift! 

Do You!?! 
Will You!?! 

Peace!

Holy Is Your Name! 

I Sincerely Beseech You To Help Me To Remain Faithful 
So That You Will Always Be Father To, And Holy For, Me! 
May You Thus Be For All Who Are Committed 
To The Cause Of Jesus Christ! 

I Have No Known Reason To Doubt You Or Your Word 
And By Your Saving Grace, I Plead, Lord, That 
The Day Will Never Come 
When I Know Who For, What With, Where, Which Way
And When I Will Choose To Betray My Savior For Comfort And Cash 
Which Are Mere Illusions 
In The Eternal Scheme Of Things! 

It Is My Soul's Desire To: 

H ave A Regular Talk With My Jesus
A ppreciate That I Am Truly Blessed
P ray For Friends And Enemies
P ut My Spiritual House In Order
Y ield Not To Temptation

N ever Depart From The Savior's Side 
E ncourage Others On Their Journey To Joy
W atch, Work, And Wait For The Great Day

Y ield My Will To My Savior
E ndure All Things For My Lord
A llow The Holy Spirit To Work
R ejoice That The Lord Christ Is The King! 

In The Name That Is Above All Names
The Only Name By Which We Are Saved
I Pray For The Brethren The World Around 
Who Are Seeking For, And Coming To, Faith That 
Their Heart's Desire Will Be Met 
While It Is Yet Day! 

Remind Us That Our Happiness
Is Only Found In The Lord Jesus Christ
And Bless Us To Find Our Contentment In Him!

Please Protect, Provide For, Correct
And Direct Us All Who Are Willing 
On The Narrow Way Home! 

Remember Us All In Your Great Mercy As Only You Are Able 
For We Love You More Than Life Itself! 
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!!!

If You Want Joy, Real Joy ...!






I Remember Singing On Sabbath As A Child
 
"If You Want Joy
Real Joy
Wonderful Joy
Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart!" 

The Chorus Continued To Speak About 
Our Nights Being Turned To Day
Our Sins Being Washed Away
And 
Our Lives Being Made Over Anew! 

Beloved, 

When A Sentence Starts With An 
"If You Want ..." 
There Is The Real Possibility That 
You Don't Want The Thing On Offer! 

For The One Seeking The Lord At This Time 
When He Is To Be Found
Honest Questions Seeking Knowledge 
To Make The Informed Decision 
Regarding The New Life In Christ Are Acceptable! 

For The Christian Who Has Had Long Experience With
And 
Ample Proof Of 
The Goodness, Mercy, Love, And Grace Of The Lord
But, Why, What For, When, Where, And The Like 
Have That Sulphurous Stench Of Doubt! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Makes It Plain That 
He Has Nothing For Those 
Who Choose Not To Exercise Faith In Him 
And, Instead
Indulge Decimating Doubt! 

Are You Living As A Candle 
Glowing Or Guttering 
According To The Winds Of Change 
And
The Flavors Of The Moment 
Being Sold At The Fad Farm Or Ego Emporium!?! 

Fads Fail 
And 
Ego Goes Overboard! 

Slow, Sure, Steady, With Staying-Power
And 
With Saints Sealed And Saved 
Is
The Expected End Of The Life Committed To Christ! 

Faith Equips All Of Us Who Are Willing 
To Endure And Excel 
In The Journey To Joy In Jesus 
Which Continues Onward And Upward 
With The Joyous Celebration 
In New Jerusalem! 

Joy Is A Precious Gem! 
Dare To Find And Hold Your Treasure! 

Peace!

Glory In The Lord!







In The Presence Of The Holy God 
What Do You Have ... In And Of Yourself That 
You Can And Would ... Without Shame-Facedness
Boldly, Daringly, Boast About!?! 

Is There Anything About Your Life That 
You Are Able To Or Have Been Able To Fix 
Without The Grace And Mercy Of 
The Lord Being Showered Upon You!?! 

Everywhere We Turn
People Are Out And Proud 
And 
Are Boldly Declaring "Their Truth" 
And 
Plainly And Emphatically Broadcasting 
Who They "Know" Themselves To Be! 

Two Things Are Wrong Up Front: 
Pride Is Of The Devil 
And
Truth Is The Domain Of Almighty God 
In The Person Of The Lord Jesus Christ! 

With That Being Clear
Are You Willing, Ready, And Able To State 
In The Presence Of The Hostile-To-God Crowd That 
You Are A Sinner-Saved
A Child Of God
A Saint Of God And Christ
A Stranger In A Strange Land
A Pilgrim Travelling To The Holy City
A Servant Of The Living God
And
A Student Of The School Of Jesus 
Tired Of This World Of Woe 
And
Thinking, Dreaming, About Your Heavenly Home!?! 

Would You Do It 
With A Gun Aimed At Your Head Or Your Heart!?! 

Beloved, 

Envy, Hate, Pride, Greed, Sorrow
Pain, Disobedience, And Death 
Have A Use-By Aka Expiration Date: 
Love, Joy, Peace, Truth, Faith
Obedience And Everlasting Life Do Not! 

Please Think On These Things 
And 
Dare To Stand Up For Jesus Christ
The Way
The Truth 
And 
The Life Aka Glory For Us! 

Peace!

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Serving!?!







Character Flaws ... Found In Every Last One Of Us
Must Be Overcome 
If We Will Enter The Heavenly Paradise Of Peace! 

Nobody Likes A Vengeful, Spiteful
Dishonest, Insincere, Entitled
Proud
And 
Uncontrollable Person! 
Sin 
Is 
Surely Knocking At That Heart's Door!

Our Flaws Aka Faults 
Are Undesirable Traits Of Character 
Which Must Be Gotten Rid Of 
And 
If We Don't We Will Be No More Than 
Nice And Nifty Bouncy Balls 
For Satan The Damned To Use, Abuse, Discard 
And 
Destroy! 

Our Cultivated Character 
Determines
Our Final Destination! 


Beloved, 

Please Be Aware That 
We Are To Confess Our Sins To Almighty God 
And 
Our Flaws To Each Other 
And 
Not The Other Way Around! 
Do Not Be Deceived!

Think Carefully 
About What Your Flaws Have Already Cost You 
And 
How Feeding Your Known Flaws 
Has Encouraged You To Commit Known Sin! 

The God Of Grace ... Known Holy
Loves Us Enough 
To Have Given Us Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
To Counteract Our Flaws 
And 
It Is In Our Best Interests 
To Change Our Present Direction 
And Allow
Love, Joy, Peace
Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness
Patience, Faithfulness
And 
Self-Control 
To Have Their Wonderful Way In Our Lives 
So That We Do Not Lose The Gifted Home On High 
Which We Cannot Ever Buy! 

Getting Rid Of Habits That Cannot Profit 
Does Not Cost Us Anything Save Time 
Which Is Also A Gift From God!
 
Be Wise ...

Work Out 
Your Own Soul's Already Purchased-For-You Salvation
With Fear And Trembling!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Gift Of An Expected End!


 








For Every Good Gift That The Good Lord Gives To Us
Satan The Damned Has A Counterfeit! 

Beloved, 

We Must Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life To Be Safe!
Pride 
Is 
A Counterfeit! 

We Cannot Afford The Luxury Of Pride 
And
If We Do Not Reject It In Ourselves 
And
Recognize It In Others 
To Avoid Its Ever-Reaching Tentacles
We Will Find Ourselves In The No-Return-From Pit! 

Humility In Christians 
Should Not Be Of The Faux Persuasion 
But 
Should Be Our Staple
Our Standard
Our Way Of Life 
And
We Should Never Be In The Family-Business Of Satan 
Taking Pleasure In Condemning Others 
And 
Castigating Them 
Or Denouncing Them For Partaking In
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Proud Humility 
And 
Humble Pride Are Twins: 
Disown Them! 

The Lord ... In Mercy ... Is Clear: 
He Makes And Knows 
And 
Guides Our Way ... The Way To Life ... Plainly 
Because 
He Is Guaranteeing Us The End That 
He Is Providing To Us 
Because Of 
Christ's Sacrifice For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Those Who Cannot Give You A Biscuit 
To Take Bread ... The Bread Of Life
- The Life Of Christ The King Of Glory - 
From Your Head, Heart Or Hand! 

Be Wise And Know ... 

Satan's Gifts Are Rentals
But
Almighty God's Gifts To Us ... We Own! 


Be Fulfilled ...

Please Choose The Humble, Holy, Life Of Christ
And
Expect To Joyfully Enjoy
The Eternal God's Gift To Us Of An Expected End:
Everlasting Peace
Everlasting Joy
Everlasting Life ... At Home ... In The Father's House
With Jesus Christ Our Creator
Savior
Redeemer
Recreator
Lord, God 
And 
Kind King
Giver Of All Good And Perfect Gifts!

NO TRAMP STAMP: Take The Name And Give Your All To And For Jesus Christ!


Ecclesiastes 11:4 He that observes the wind shall not sow; and he that  regards the clouds shall not reap.



If You Will Turn Your Eyes Toward Jesus Christ In The Day Of Your Trial
Make It A Practice ... A Habit
- A Reason For Being -
To Turn Your Eyes Toward Our Blessed Lord 
Every Moment Of Every Day! 

Make The Informed Decision ...

Turn To Jesus Christ In Joy Or Sorrow
For Pleasure
In Pain
With Need
Through Despair
For Comfort
And 
Just To Share! 

Listen, Obey And Live!

The Lord Loves Us So Much That 
He Put His Two Hands To The Plow:
His Two Hands Were Stretched Out For Us On Calvary's Cross 
With His Two Feet Firmly Nailed Down To Earth! 

We Claim That We Love Him And Bless His Holy Name! 
We Declare That We Pray With Passion And Power
And 
Swear That We Are Too Blessed By His Holy Hand 
To Be Stressed By The World's Aka The Devil's Plans! 
That's All Well And Good 
But
If Truth Be Told
Our All-In-With-Jesus Effort 
- Which Would See Us Saved Eternally -
Equals Only 99% Commitment! 

Beloved, 

Let's Stop Being Chickens Laying Eggs For The Lord 
And 
Let's Become Pascal Lambs
The Clean ... The Perfect ... Sacrifice
Truly Suitable For The Altar Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

If You Are On Fire For Jesus 
And 
End Up In The Flames For His Name
Rest Assured That He Will Be With You

And

In The Great Day Of Celebration
You Will Wear The Gold Crown
And 
The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 
And
Permanently Bear His Name! 
Be Brave! 


The Name Of The Lord
Upon Your Person
Is Not 
A Tramp-Stamp
Nor An Underground Slave Brand!
It Is The Royal Seal
On
The Child Of The Living God! 

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

Let No One Steal Your Name
Nor Your Crown!

**--**--**--**--** 

Walk Humbly
Obediently
Expectantly
And
Enduringly
Before The Lord Of Life!
