HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 





















Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 
Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 
Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm
And 
It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 
To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 
He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family
And 
It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 
Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 
He Is A Blessing 
When In Truth And In Fact 
He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 
From The Cradle To The Grave 
And 
We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe
Makes Things Stronger
Look Whiter, Brighter
Taste Better
And 
Last Longer! 

Think, People
And 
Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 
And 
Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 
And 
Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 
Sin And Darkness And Death 
And 
Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 
As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 
To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 
Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 


Lord Jesus,
We Repent! 


GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 


Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace
To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 
That Is The Word Of Truth 
Neither Adding Nor Subtracting
To Be Attractive To Those 
Whom You Cannot Approve! 


GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 
Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 
He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH
BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

HAPPY SABBATH + Life Ain't Fair!?!

 











We Like To Say That Life Is Unfair! We Also Like To Say That 
Life Is What You Make It! 
We Also Seem To Forget That Jesus Christ The Creator-God 
Is 
The Way, The Truth, And The Life! 
No Jesus, No Life! 

Should Not We Therefore Realize That 
It Is The Life Lived Without Jesus Christ, The Life-Giver 
And
The Light Of The World
That Causes People To Behave Inappropriately 
And 
Thereby Cause Still Other People To Accuse Life Aka The Lord Jesus!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Committed To Christ Christians
Are Asked To Live In Peace With All People ... Where Possible! 

We May Choose To Let People Embitter Our Lives 
Or
We May Choose To Live For And In Jesus Christ ... Our Peac
Who Freely Gives Unto Us His Peace 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Beloved, 

Have You Not Realized That 
It Is Man's Unregenerate Heart 
Aka Man's Heart Unimproved By Grace That 
Causes Us The Problems Which We Say Cause Life To Be Unfair!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us From This Day Forward 
Choose To Be Part Of The Solution 
And 
Not The Cause Of The Problems In Other People's Lives 
And 
Our Own! 

When We Let The Light Of Almighty God's Truth 
Be The Center Of Our Lives
It Is Guaranteed That The Devil Aka Our Adversary 
And 
His Minions 
Will Have No Part In Us! 

Be Encouraged ...

Our Relief Is Jesus! 
Our Release Is From Jesus! 
Our Refuge Is Jesus! 

Dare To Rest In Christ Jesus 
And
Be Relieved: 
Eternal Life Is Peaceful! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

Promised To No Man!




Beloved, 

We Always Have Choices 
But Chances ... Not So Much! 

We Have The Choice To Make Today: 
Live In Love And Light With The Lord Of Life 
Or
Land In The Lake Of Fire 
Through Lust With The Lord Of Lies! 

As Regards The Chance To Make Our Choice ... Tomorrow
That Day Is Indelibly Stamped: 
"Promised To No Man!"
Oh, What A Horror! 

In The Olde Days
When Some Young Village Ram 
Was Prancing Around And Doing The Dog
And 
Some Elder Would Call Him Out About His Behavior 
And Ask When He Was Going To Change 
Or Give His Life To The Lord
The Patented Response Was Invariably: 
"Tomorrow!" 
Which, Inevitably, Never Came 
Because 
The Grim Reaper Came First! 

Remember, Dear Ones, 

We Can't Buy Life 
And 
We Can Neither Stop Nor Sell Death! 

We Were Constantly Cautioned: 
"What You Can Do Today, Do Today!" 
Or Put Another Way
"Never Put Off For Tomorrow 
What You Can Do Today 
Because Tomorrow's Sun Never Rises!" 

This Is Sound Bible Teaching Worthy To Be Accepted 
And 
Acted Upon 
No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

The Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work 
So Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 
To Do A Good Work In Us Today! 

Let's Lean On The Lord 
And 
Learn The Word 
Which Reveals The Thoughts And Intents Of Our Hearts 
And
Is Able To Cut Out The Unprofitable 
Because 
It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword! 

Live Today ... Today! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Help, Me Lord, To Live So That I Let Nothing Be Wasted!













PRAYER:

Father, 
With The Heart Of A Grateful Penitent
I Give You Thanks And Praise For All Your Blessings 
- Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown
Unexpected, And Unacknowledged - 
Lavishly Bestowed Upon Me This Day 
And, For Sure
Every Day Of My Life! 

I Love You, Lord
And
It Is Not Just For The Bread And Two Fishes That 
In Your Hand Will Always Feed The Multitude 
And
Leave Behind Food For Many More! 

Please Help Me To Live With The Mindset That 
Nothing Should Be Wasted
And
A Heart Filled With Compassion For Others
An
Hands Ready To Share To Others 
Out Of The Bounty That You Generously Provide To Me! 

Father, I May Not Always Like The Way That Life Goes
But
I Ask You To Help Me To Ever Remember That
If I Knew What You Know
I Would Wish To Be Led, Fed, Directed And Corrected
As You Ordain! 

Please Help Me To Never Embrace Pride
And
The Top-Lofty Spirit
Which Causes Us To Act As Though You Owe Us Something 
And
We Are Entitled To All That We Receive
And
More Beside! 

Please Help Me To Never Forget That
I Owe All That I Am And All That I Have
To Your Willing Sacrifice And Unending Love
In The Person Of Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me
And
Bless Me To Follow My Shepherd
The Good Shepherd
To Your Haven Of Rest For The Eternally Blessed! 
AMEN!

We Can't Beat Almighty God's Loving!




Jesus Christ Is Love Personified 
And 
He Loved Us And Gave Himself For Us: 
He Gave His All! 

How, Then, Are People Willing To Do The Impossible 
Aka Love Another Person More Than They Love Themselves!?! 

How Can We Give More Than The Totality Of Ourselves!?! 

How Can We Give More Than Our Capacity To Hold!?! 

How Can We Give What We Don't Have 

And

If We Insist On "Giving" What We Don't Personally Possess
How Is This Not Idolatry And Theft!?! 

Beloved, 

What Comes Out Of A Person Is What Defiles A Person! 

We Hear People Utter Those Damnable Words A La Hollywood: 

"I Love You More Than Life Itself!"

 How Can You Love Someone 
More Than The Life That Makes You Alive!?! 

Do We Think Before We Speak 
Or Are We Just Mouthing Sweet Nothings 
To Gain Brown-Noser Points 
Which Do Not Profit Anyone!?! 

Love, Heavenly Love, Gave, Gives, Us Life! 
Life Gives Us Standing! 
Standing Gives Us Purpose! 
Our Purpose Is To Love Our Holy God With Our All 
And
Love Our Neighbor As We Love Ourselves! 
This Is The Living Word Of The Eternal God! 
We Cannot Pour 12 oz. Of Liquid Out Of An 8 oz. Bottle! 

Please Let Us Not Add To Almighty God's Word 
And 
Be Found To Be Liars 
And
Add To Ourselves The Plagues Whereof The Living Word Speaks! 

Let Us Love By Thought, Word, And Deed 
And
Refrain From Sinning By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Love And Life! 

Please Choose To Accept The Truth 
And 
Live To  Love The Lord Thy God 
And
Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself! 

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!

Build A Beautiful Brain






Your Brain Isn't Actually A Muscle 
But 
It's Always Getting A Workout! 
We Train Our Brains!

Muscles Must Be Exercised 
If 
They Are To Strengthen And Grow 
And 
Remember What They Have Been Or Are Being Taught! 

Muscles Have Memory 
And
This Is Why We Are Able To Do Things 
Without Having To Forcefully "Think" About 
What We Are Going To Do! 
Trained Muscles Know! 

Beloved, 

With What Are You Exercising Your Mind!?! 
With What Bad Habit Are You Bulking Up Your Brain That 
Is Now Taking Over 
And
Disrupting Your Life!?! 
Is Your Brain-Training Showing!?!

The Apostle Paul Instructed Young Timothy 
To Study To Show Himself Approved By God
A Workman That Wouldn't Need To Be Ashamed! 

Is There A "Muscle" In Your Mind Juiced-Up On Steroids 
Aka Bad Medicine That 
Is 
Causing You To Think, Say, And Do Things 
Which Our Lord Christ Can Never Approve!?! 

We Have In The Lord Christ An High Priest Who 
Is 
Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Short-Comings And Sicknesses Which Drop Us To Our Knees
And 
He Says To Us All: 

Come Boldly ... As You Are
To The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy
And
Grace ... Favor ... Power 
To Help You
In Your Time Of Need! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Be Not Proud, Arrogant, Lawless
Or A Man-Pleaser ... Self-Deluded! 

Please Acknowledge That There Is A Problem
Call It By Its Given Name 
And
Get Thee Hence To Jesus Christ The King
And 
Humbly Give It To Him! 
Do Not Be Ashamed:
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Build A Beautiful Brain
A Marvellous Mind
With The Blessed Exercise Plan 
Easily Found In The True Words Of Almighty God 
Which Speak Love, Life, And Liberty! 

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!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Choose Humility Over Self!







Self Is So Selfish That 
Self Begrudges Itself Life! 

Self Is So Deluded, Deceived, That 
It Prefers Death
The Grave 
And 
The Consuming Fires Of Hell 
Before It Will Choose To Bow Before
The Lord God Almighty For Worship 
And 
In Humility For Cleansing! 

Self Is As The Horse That Wears Blinders 
Which Permit It To Only See The Chosen Path 
And 
The Desired Prize Ahead! 

Beloved, 

Indulging In Willful Blindness 
Is 
Lawlessness Of The Highest Order! 

Choosing Not To See Truth 
Because 
It Is Not In Line With The "Sweet Sensations" 
Which Your Wicked, Lustful
Wandering Heart Desires To Experience 
Will Not Give You True Life 
And 
Eternal Peace And Prosperity! 

We Are All Selfish By Nature 
But 
We May All Be Saved 
By Energetically Seeking Our Savior 
Who Came To Seek And Save Us
His Lost Sheep And Lambs! 

The First Step To Salvation 
Is 
Acknowledging That Self Is A Sinner
And 
Confessing Sin And Repenting From That Sin! 

Repentance 
Is 
A Sincere Aka Heartfelt Sorry 
With A Determined Removal Of The Blinders To Truth 
To Be Able To See Sin In All Of Its Ugliness 
And
Pledging ... By Almighty God's Great Grace
To Never Commit That Sin Again! 

Help Is Available Here And Now: 
Confidently Reach For The Holy Hand That 
Is 
Lovingly Reaching Out To You! 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Humble Yourself Now! 

Peace!

There Is No Reason For Sin!







We Would All Do Well 
To Understand, Accept
And 
Remember That 
There Is No Little Sin, Big Sin, Or Trivial Sin! 

We Will Bless Ourselves By Confession And Repentance 
Aka Forsaking Sin When We Take To Heart The Fact That 
The Lord Our Righteousness Despises Both Hereditary Sins 
Aka Born-With Tendencies To Particular Sins 
And
Cultivated Sin Aka Sin Practiced By Willful Desire! 

Neither Birth 
Nor Lustful, Hateful Desires
Need ... Nor Want 
Are Excuses For Indulging In Known Sin! 

Beloved, 

Let Us All Be Cautioned And Reminded That 
There Is No Reason To Sin 
And
There Is No Excuse For Sin! 

The Act Of Sinning Aka The Transgressing Of 
The Law Of Almighty God 
Is 
Straight-up Lawlessness! 

When We Indulge In Lawlessness 
Which Is Much The Same As Saying Like The Fool That 
There Is No God
We, In Willful Defiance Of The First Commandment
Make Ourselves God 
And 
"Give" Ourselves Life And Death Power 
Over Our Brethren And Companions In This Life! 

We All Have One Life To Live
One Hell To Avoid 
And
One Heaven To Gain! 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Living God 
By And Through Whom You Live 
And 
Breathe 
And 
Are Permitted To Live Each Day! 

If You Are Able To Keep Yourself Alive 
And 
Will Enter Heaven Under Your Own Steam
Do As You Please! 

If You Need Jesus Christ To Save You
Humble Yourself 
And
Daily Choose To Do What Is Good And Right: 
Bountiful Blessings Await You! 

Peace!

Drink Your Lemonade!

 




Let's Praise Almighty God 
Despite Our Problems 
And 
Truly Trust Him For His Saving, Protecting 
Providential Care!
 
Let's Also Say
- When Life Gives You A Good Harvest Of Fat Lemons -
Beg For Sugar
And 
Make Lemonade! 

Beloved, 

While You May Say That That's Cheap And Easy Talk
And 
Nobody Knows How Sour Your Lemon Harvest Was, Is 
And 
Is Projected To Be
Let's All Remember That
- As Members Of The Household Of Faith -
We Are Called To Boldly Taste ... And See ... That 
The Lord, Our God
 Is 
Good
And
Faithful, Loving, Just, Kind
Blessing, Giving, Forgiving
And
Ever Righteous And True! 

Brethren,

We Have A Sure Word In The Volume That 
Is 
The Good Book 
And 
All Who Read It Diligently
Searching For Its Hidden Treasure Sure To Be Found
Know How Our Story Ends! 

We Have The Promise Of New Life
New Name
New Home
Blessed Peace
And 
Pure Love In Our Forever Home! 

I Urge Us All 
To Enjoy Your Life ... In Christ ... Lemons And All
Because
It Is In Him That We Have A Sweet Future 
And 
An Expected End! 

Beloved,

Dare To Live With Your Eye
Your Head
Your Heart
Your Hand 
And 
Your Hope 
Touching
Tasting
Hearing
Feeling
And 
Following Jesus Christ ... Our TrueAnd Only King: 
He Is Your Water And Sugar!
Drink Your Lemonade!


Be At Peace With Your Lord 
Who Is Sweet
And
Perfect Peace!

THE EASIEST THING: Freely Drink The Water Of Life For Refreshing!

 



We Are Afflicted For Sin 
And
For Salvation: 
Please Let Salvation Win! 

The Easiest Thing Any Of Us Will Ever Do In This Life 
Is 
To Accept Jesus Christ 
... The Prince Of Peace ... 
As Personal Savior, Lord And God! 

The Hardest Thing Any Of Us Will Ever Do In This Life 
Is 
To Reject Jesus Christ 
... The King Of Glory ... 
As Personal Savior, Lord And God! 

Life 
Is 
A Duality 
And 
Our Choices To Be Faced Will Always Be Two: 

Jesus The Justifier Or Satan The Separator! 
Self Or Salvation! 
Sin Or Sanctification! 
Heaven Or Hell! 
Truth Or Error! 
Love Or Hate! 
Light Or Darkness! 
Greed Or Giving! 
Personal Prison Or Peace's Paradise! 
Faith Or Doubt! 
Love Or License! 
Correction Or Condemnation! 

Brethren,

Let Us Be Wise So That The Heavenly Rock Of Remonstrance 
Aka Circumstances And Situations 
Does Not Have To Shatter Our Pricey Picture Window 
Aka Our Putrid Pride To Humble Us 
Aka Force Us To Pray 
Aka Catch The Vision Of Heavenly Love 
Aka Christ's Personal Sacrifice For Us
For Us To Feel The Love 
And
Take The Gift Freely Given! 

Dare To Come To The Water Of Life
And 
Drink 
Because 
You ... For Love ... Want To! 
Don't Let Life Put Salt In Your Mash ... Your Food
To Force You To Drink For Relief! 

Beloved, 

Drink For Refreshing: 
The Water Of Life 
Is 
Free, Cheap, Accessible 
And 
Available To You! 

Peace
Is
As Still Water!!
