DEAD: Dead-Dead Or Dead-Alive!?!

B.L.T.!?!
Why Are You Asking For That!?!
You Don't Eat Piggy Pork!

You Misunderstand!
My Request For BLT
Is For Me To Be Brave, Loyal 
And
True To The Lord Christ
So That I May Stand The Test
And
Pass It With Flying Colors
So That I May Be Eternally Blessed!

Okay, But What Has Brought This On!?!

Do You Remember When Desmond Was On Probation!?!

Sure Do!
He Always Had His Calendar Handy ...!

... And He Was Always Marking Off The Days Served
And Forever Counting The Days Left To Serve!

Indeed!
I Remember Vividly The End Of 
The Last Day Of His Probation!
He Was Hooting And Hollering
And Telling Every And Anybody That 

He Was Free, Free, Free
And That He Now Belonged
That He Was Now A Homer!
He Was Thrilled To Bits
And It Was Exciting To Watch!

The Reminiscing Is All Good
But What Does This Have To Do
With That BLT
Brave Loyal True Request You Made!?!

It Has Everything To Do With It And Nothing At All!

Okay, It's Official ... And I'm Confused!

Are Christians On Probation!?!
Yes!

Is The World On Probation!?!
Yes!

Are You On Probation!?!
Yes!

How Do You Feel About It
And
What Are You Doing To Pass Successfully!?!


I Mind My Own Business
And I Keep My Nose Clean!
I Color Within The Lines!
Other Than That, I Don't Worry Or Think About It!


After This Conversation
You May Want To Change Your Attitude!


Ohhh!?!

I Am On Probation
But
I Don't Know When My Probation Ends!
I'm Facing A Fearsome Foe
But
The King Of Life I Know!
I Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed
But
By Grace Through Faith
I Daily Grow!
I Live And Breathe And Have, By Christ, My Being
But
I Know Not The Day Nor The Hour
When By Giving Up The Mortal Coil
This World I Shall Be Leaving!


Tomorrow Is Promised To No One
And 

When You Die
Effectively ... Your Probation Report Is Closed!


Are You Going To Heaven
Or Are You Going To Hell!?!
Will You Rise In The First Resurrection To Eternal Life
Or In The Second Resurrection To Condemnation
To Eternal Damnation
With Those Who Refused 

Jesus Christ's Holy, Immortal, Incorruptible
Everlasting Life!?!


I Don't Worry About Such Things!
After My Nan Died
She Visited Me One Night
And She Was Happy
And She Said That When It Is Time
For Me To Transition
She And The Rest Of The Family There
Will Come To Escort Me Paradise ...!


... Whatever You've Been Drinking
You Seriously Need To Stop
All Like Right Now!


Why!?! What On Earth Do You Mean!?!
My Nan Never Lied To Me When She Was Living
So She Would Not Lie To Me
Now That She's Dead!

Her Body Died By Her Soul Is Immortal!

Can You Even Hear Yourself!?!
Do You Believe Your "Dead" Nan's Word
Over The Word Of The Living God!?!

Only The Living God Is Immortal!

Do You Even Believe The Word Of God!?!

I Do Believe The Word Of God!
Some Of It Is Really Good Stuff!


He Just Said Some ...!?!

... Only Some!?!
Either It's All Good Or It's All Bad!
It Can't Be Good And Bad At One And The Same Time!


You Need To Get Modern!
Man Has Evolved!
People Know And Have Seen New Things
And Experienced Unbelievable Powers!


You Ain't Lying!
You've Been Parlaying With Evil Spirits
Who Are Desirous Of Damning Your Soul!
The Dead Know Nothing
See Nothing
Experience Nothing
And
Go Nowhere!


Says You!

Oh, No! Not Me!
Says The Living Holy Cutting Dividing 

Faithful True Eternal Word Of
The Almighty All-Seeing
All-Knowing, Ever-Present
Feeling All Things Creator Sustaining Forgiving
Redeeming Saving Soon Returning
Presently Interceding God!


You're Wrong!
I Saw, I Spoke To, I Heard Her Voice
I Smelt Her Favorite Perfume
And You Can't Prove That I Didn't!


If You Say So!

I Do, And You Still Can't Prove Otherwise!

Where's Your Bible!?!
We're Going To Settle Once And For All Time!

It's On The Shelf Right Behind You!

Would You Read This Text From Ecclesiastes For Me!?!




Sooo!?!

Don't You Understand What It Says!?!

Sure, But ...!

... And We're Off And Running! 

But, What!?!


The Dead Know Nothing
But My Nan Is Alive!


Lord, Preserve Us From Our Folly!
Darley, Your Nan Is Dead
Done, Finished
In Her Cold Dusty Bed Resting
Waiting ... Experiencing No Passage Of Time
- As She Remains Undisturbed -
For The Voice Of God
To Call Her Forth At Her Self-Determined Resurrection!


What Are You Saying!?!
Before She Died, My Nan Never Lied To Me ...!

... And She Didn't Now That She Is Dead!

But, But ...!?!

Deception, My Friend, Deception!

Very True!
Fallen Angels, Evil Spirits, Demons
Performing Lying Signs And Wonders
To Deceive ... If It Were Possible
The Very Elect Of God!


But, Why ... It Seemed So Real!
I Tell You It Was Real!

It Was Real Alright!
A Real Lie!

Do You Remember The Funeral Service
When The Pastor Said:
"Dust To Dust, Ashes To Ashes!?!"

Yes, I Do!

Well, Please Be So Kind As To Read Ecclesiastes 12:7!




Now Please Read Job 17:13!


 


And Then Job 14:21!
It Tells How Much A Man Knows About
His Family When He Dies!




And, For Good Measure
Please Read Psalm 6:5!




What Does Tha ... Lord Jesus, Save Me!
I Think I'm Going To Be Sick!
This Is Making My Skin Crawl!

It Should!

Demonic Activity Is For Real! 

Brethren,

Satan, The Prince Of The Power Of The Air
And
His Wicked Angels
Have But A Short Time To Perform
And
Deception Is Rampant Around The World Already!

The Word Of The Eternal God Is A Sure Word
And
Good To Teach The Mind
And
Good For Us To Adopt!

Trust Neither Your Feelings Nor Your Eyes!
Trust Jesus Christ The Lord
The Only One Loving, True
And 
Faithful
And
The Only One Who Will Not Deceive You!

The Dead Know Nothing!

No Matter How Compelling The Stimulus Is
No Matter How Overwhelming The Evidence Is
- Being Contrary To The Truth -
Our Response In This Matter Should Always Be:


The Lord Rebuke You, Satan!

Life ... Like ... Live ... Lie!

It Is Appointed
ONCE
That Man Shall Die!
This Is The First Death
In Which All Have Stock
Because
All Are Born In Sin
AND
Our Nature Is On Lock!

By One Man Came Death!
You Can't Make An Appointment
For None Know The Day
Unless You Are Suicidal
AND
Hasten Your Own Life Away!

The Second Death
IS
The Punishment ... For Sin
Of Those Who
- Deliberately -
Choose
Not To Accept
The Blood-Bought Pardon
Of Jesus Christ Who
Shed His Own Blood
On The Cross
Our Salvation To Ensure!
Death Is The Result Of Sin

AND
Jesus Christ IS The Cure!

By One Man Comes Life!
Thou Shalt Not Surely Die
Is Assuredly
The First Lie
Perpetrated By
Satan
- Of Eternal Shame -
Who Is Ever Willing
The Image Of God
To Shame
AND
God's Name
To Defame!

You Know That
We Have A Real Problem
When A Created Being
- From The Hand Of God -
Sees Nothing Wrong
With What He Is Doing
When He Tells Lies
On Almighty God
The Lord!

Those Who Die In The Lord
Will Awaken
At The Sound Of That Voice
AND
Will Be Accompanied By Their Angelic Companion
Who Walked With Them
Until The Day
They Gave Up The Mortal Coil!

The Graves Of The Saints Are Marked
AND
Not One Will Be Forgotten

AND
No Lying Devil
Can Stop A Saint
From Getting Up
No Matter How Much
In Their Lives
He Tried To Make Them Mess Up!

But ... Woe ...

To The Unrepentant Sinner
Who Can Not See His Need
To Stand Up The Devil
By Bowing Before The Lord
To Plead
For Salvation
Forgiveness
Restoration
AND
For Redemption
In The Great Day
Preferring
To Trust The Word Of The Fallen Cherub
AND
Choosing
The Sin-Day Self-Pay Play!

For Sin
Man Shall Surely Die
BUT
By Confession
Repentance
AND
Enduring Faith
- For Salvation Through Jesus Christ Our Lord -
Man Shall SURELY Fly

AND
That Is Not A Lie!

Lying Is A Sin
AND
If You Lie
To Sin You Gave In

So
Sicc The Good Lord
On The Dread Doctor Of Spin

AND
Walk Faithfully
With The True God

AND
You Will
Into Heaven
Have The Right
To Walk In!

Outside Are Dogs
Whoremongers
... Liars ...!

AND
All Such Like
For Whom
The Lake Of Fire
IS
Eternal Death
Separation
From
The Lord Of Light

AND
Eternal Life!


The "F" In Life
Is For
Our Faith In Jesus Christ!

The "K" In Like
Is For
Our Knowledge Of The Holy!

The "V" In Live
Is For
Victory Over Sin!
Remove
Faith
Knowledge
And
Victory
AND
You Have
A Life That Is Empty
And
Is Made Up Of
 LI E!
LI E!
LI E!

Is There Any Wonder ... Now
Why Many Men
Lie And Die?!

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

Stand Up For Jesus
AND
Rise Up To Eternal Life!

PERSONAL PUZZLER: Living The Committed Christian Life

The Open Question:

What Would You Say To A Church Pastor

Who Is Proudly Gay
Who Speaks Proudly
Of What The He-God
Has Done
AND
Inspirationally
Of What The She-God Is Doing?

The American Gay Population Is Less Than 4%

Of The Total Population!
What Would You Say To A Heterosexual 
Bible-Thumping Pastor
Who Says That The Christian Church Would Die
Without The Gay Church Members/Musicians Who 
Presumptuously Live 
Unrepentantly
In Known Sin Before Almighty God?

How Would You Respond To The Charismatic Pastor

- With Immensely Convincing Oratorical Skills -
Who Says That
Loving, Living And Serving 
Are The Only Three Things
That A Modern Christian Is Required To Do?

What Of ...

Confession, Repentance, Obedience
Walking And Working In Faith?

What Of ... 
The Acquisition Of The Lord's
Meek And Gentle Spirit
Against Which There Is No Law?

What Of ...

The Aspiration Of Striving 
For To Achieve God's Glory?

What Of ...

The Renunciation Of Sin?

What Of ...

Living With The Hope
That Comes Of Faith That Works
Because Of Our Love Of The Lord Christ?

What About ...

Our Asking The Lord
For The Indwelling Of His Holy Spirit?

What About ... Denying Self?


What About ... 


  • Temperate Living?
  • Not Walking Wise In Our Own Eyes?
  • Denying The Liar?
  • Watching And Praying?
  • Not Holding On To Temporal Things?
  • Living To Send Up Riches To Glory?
  • Asking The Lord To Cleanse Us Of All Unrighteousness?
  • Wearing The Whole Armor Of God?
  • Beatitude Living?
  • Blessing God?


And ...


What About Thanking The Holy God 
For Our Blessings
Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unanticipated
Unappreciated
Unasked For
AND
Blessings Promised To Come?

Can We "Christians" Really Get All Of Our Lives

Into The Three Broad Categories Of:

Living
Loving
Serving

Without Following The Prescriptives Of The Living Word?

Remember:


If Something Does Not Have A Name

It Is Usually Rendered Unimportant!
AND
Just Saying Live, Love And Serve
Gives Us All The Opportunity 
To Forget To Remember
To Ignore
To Less Count
To Elevate
To Denigrate
To Gravitate
To Set Aside
To Glorify!

When You Know All That Is Required

You have No Excuse For Forgetfulness
Nor Disobedience!

Can A Committed Christian

Really Leave The Living Of His Life
To Man's Happenstance?

What Purpose Does Jesus Christ Serve 

In Your Life?

What Do YOU Say To All These Things?


The Apostle Paul Said:


Without The Law, I Would Not Know Sin.



I Say:

Without Our Closely Following

The Requirements For True Christian Living
We Will Fall For Any Thing
AND
Every Thing!

We Have Been Given A Blueprint

A Blueprint For Living Christ's Life
AND
If We Will Follow It Closely
We Will Survive Earth's Strife!

We Are To:

Read The Bible 
AND Pray
Watch
Work In Faith
Humble Ourselves
Deny The Adversary Every Which Way
Lift Up The Lord
Remove The Beam From Our Own Eyes
Get God's Eye Salve
Get God's Gold
Get God's White Linen
AND
Put Oil In Our Lamps
AND
Accept Provided Grace
Accept The Given Faith
AND
Accept Free Offer Of Salvation
Strive To Be Redeemed
AND
Leaning On Christ ... Endure The Struggle
AND
Let The Holy Spirit Lead!

We Are Also Called Upon To:

Entertain Strangers
Love The Lord
Love Our Brother As We Love Ourselves
Walk The Straight And Narrow Way
Let Our Heart Be Fertile Ground
Let Good Angels Influence Us To Do Good
Stand On The Rock Of Ages
Stand On The Promises Of God
Reach Out To Jesus
Let Jesus Hold Our Hand

AND ...
We Are Encouraged To:

Get Victory Over Sin Through Jesus
Go On The Narrow Road With Straight Walking
Use Soft Answers To Turn Away Wrath
Not Be A Fool
Be Wise Unto Salvation
Don't Indulge A Double Mind
AND
Live For The Lord
For, In This, Is Great Reward!

The Great Question
That Needs The Simple Answer
From A Spirit-Lead Conscience
Is

Does Just Living
Loving
And
Serving
- A Doctrine Of Fallen Man -
Serve The Purpose
In Your Call To Jesus Christ
- The Savior God -
Who Died
To Save You?

PRAYER: Help Me To Do Thy Will!





 Dear Lord,
Please Cause to Rise Up In Me
The Spirit of Revulsion!
Revulsion
For The Unclean
The Unholy
The Putrid
The Profane
The Petty
The Vain
and
The Vexatious!

Help Me Look Only To You
From Whom My Help Comes!

Help Me Be Contented With My Lot
Constant In My Faith
Caring For The Downtrodden
and
Ever Calm in The Face of Bitter Adversity!

Help Me To Be
Benevolent As The Holy Spirit Calls
and a
Blessing - Just Because
Set-apart For Your Service
Savoring The Sanctified
Denying The Salacious
Lifting Up The Fallen
Lowering Self's Flag
And 
Honoring The Holy!

Grant Me Grace To Stand
Even When I Can't
And 
The Knowledge To Know
That The Light "No!" Answer 
from 
Jesus Christ 
Is Not To Be Equated With 
The Heavy "Yes!" Answer from Fallen Man!

Help Me To Do Thy Will When I Would Sooner
Do As Burdensome-Self Wills!

May Your Mercy Perfume My Path
Whilst Life Lasts, and On To Glory!

Lord, I am Your Child
AND
I am Looking To Receive My Inheritance
In The Fullness Of Your Time -
Keep Me Faithful!

I Honor You, Lord, and I Love You!

Help Me To Forever Praise and Worship You
For You Are My God!
AMEN!

New Page Added entitled "My Testimony"


Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I hope that your day was blessed, and that all is indeed well with you, and your loved ones!

     I have added a new page entitled "My Testimony!" It is indeed my personal testimony, and it is written as poetry.

     "My Testimony!" is the story of my journey toward finding my way back home to the Family of Faith (not that I ever left), and it was written about eleven (11) months after I came close to losing my life in an accident.

      I have one very clear memory of that event when, as I was in a crosswalk, a vehicle picked me up and tossed me out of my shoes and sent me flying through the air: I remember being physically, and very slowly and gently, let down to the ground.

      Afterward, I was told that I should have been dead BUT The Lord obviously had very different plans for me.

     My health, life and living were changed drastically, but I am thankful to be alive.

     I believe with all my heart that I am, and have been, kept alive for a purpose, and I am willing, The Lord knows when He will be ready for me, and He will ensure that I am able to perform whatever task He has ordained for me.

     It is my prayer that some one soul may be blessed by this outpouring,

BJC
