LIFE OR DEATH: The Decision!

There Are Many Amongst Us 
Who Are Bread And Fish Christians 
Willing To Be Fed And Filled 
And 
Made Fat And Happy Off Jesus Christ 
And 
The Gospel Of Truth 
And
Who Are Not Spiritually Profited 
By The Experience Or The Association! 

The Gospel Isn't A Piggy Bank 
And 
The Church Isn't A Business Incubator! 
Even In Jesus' Day
He Likened The Church To A Den Of Thieves 
Because Of
The Unholy Business Commerce Being Transacted There! 

Brethren,

We Have A Need!
We Are Sin-Sick! 
The Church Of The Living God Is An Hospital! 
The Gospel Is Medicine! 
Jesus Christ Is The Great Physician! 
Earth Is The Quarantine Station! 
Heaven Is Our Rest-Home! 
Holy Angels Attend Us, Influence Us, And Protect Us! 
The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides Us
And
Leads Us Into All Truth
And
Our Heavenly Father Awaits Us! 

We Need To Get Right With Our God
Soooo, Let's Get Right 
And 
Get Ready To Go Home!
We Have An Anticipated End To Look Forward To!

I Agree So Let Us Preserve Our Souls
So That Our Names Will Be Written Down 
In The Lamb's Book Of Life! 

You Have Received
An Exclusive Invitation
To The Royal Event Of The Ages!

Indeed! 
You Make A Good Point About Preserving Our Souls! 
Most People Seem Not To Realize That 
We Are The Ones Who Decide 
If We Are To Be Saved By The Lord! 

Truth Mixed With A Little Bit Of Error
Is Satan's Stock In Trade!
Read The Preserved Word
Of The Living God
For Yourself!

I Guess That I Am Amongst Them!
I Never Knew That!
I Have Been Under The Impression
And Have Always Understood That 
Jesus Christ Chose His People!

When You Go To Meet
Earthly Kings, Queens
Presidents And Prime Ministers
You Adhere To The Protocols
And You Wear The Prescribed Attire
If You Desire To Be Granted Admittance
Into Their Presence, Don't You!?!
 
Beloved,
You Have Understood Incorrectly!
The Great Gift ... Life Everlasting
Is 
On The Table Laid Out For Us By The Giver Of Life! 
We All, Individually
Have Been Given ... By Virtue Of Our Birth
Free Will And Free Choice 
To Decide Whether To Take Up, Unwrap 
And 
Use The Freely Available Gift 
To Enter In 
And 
Enjoy Jesus Christ's Eternal Life! 

If You Reject The Conditions
For Entrance
Into The Royal Celebration
By Refusing To Heed The Dress Code
Would You Really Expect
To Gain Admission!?!

I'm Looking Forward To Seeing You All 
On The Other Side! 
Let's Get Ready And Stay Ready!

To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!
 
We Need To Get Our Spiritual Houses In Order
Because This Is A Once In A Lifetime Event! 

Indeed!

Let's Get Our Characters Cleaned Up
To Be Like The Character Of Our King! 
Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon
And
Much Sooner Than We All Think
He Shall Breach The Eastern Sky!

The Faithful, Obedient, Enduring Few
Shall Be Personally Welcomed Home
Crowned
And
Served
By The King Of Glory!

People, Let Me Tell You Plain
Whether You Choose To Go Or Not
I Intend, By Almighty God's Great Grace
To Be Amongst The Chosen Faithful!

Jesus Christ Died To Save Me
And
I Intend To Tell Him Personally ... Face To Face
 
"Thank You, Lord Jesus
For Blessing Me
With Your Gift Of Everlasting Life!
I Love You, Lord!"
I'm With You On That!

We All Are!
We Are Going Home!

AMEN!!!

Things Don't Save Man!
People Can't Save Man!
Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Time! Time! Do YOU Have Time!

A Soul Without Jesus
Is A Soul Alone
A Soul Wondering
Worrying
Wandering
Condemned
Damned
Twice Dead
Eternally Lost ...!

... Man, You Could Suck The Joy Out Of June Plum Juice!
WHO Invited THIS Party Pooper
To MY Celebration?!

Look, I Do Not Have Time For You
Nor Your Jesus
And I Surely Do Not Have Time
To Think About Eternity!
I Barely Have Time To Think About Today!

Do You Have Time To Think?!

Sure, I Do!
I'm Thinking Of How I Can Get Rich ... Quick
And I'm Thinking Right Now 
About How To Get Rid Of You ... Quick!

Do You Think To Pray?!

Who Has Time To Pray?!
Too Much Effort Required!
No Quick Nor Positive Answers Returned!

Do You Have Time To Play?!

A Man Has Got To Get His Play On!!
I Always, And I Mean ALWAYS
Can Find Time To Play!!
After All, All Work And No Play
Makes This Sammy A Very Dull Boy!

Just Then
In Walks Main Man Mason ...

Hey, Sammy?!
How About That Game?!
Awesome, Wasn't It?!

Ace, Mase!
I Was Praying, Even Pleading, For That Win?!

Ahem ...!

Whaat?!

Didn't You Say Not Even A Good Minute Ago
That You Don't Have Time ... To Pray
Because ... It Takes Too Much Effort?!
How Come You Could Find Time
To Pray For A Win In A Ball Game?!

Priorities, My Man!
Priorities!

Wait! Let Me Get This Right!
You Can Pray
Find Time To Pray
Expend Effort To Pray
Over A No Profit Ball Game
And Not Your Own Soul?!

Yup!
What About It?!

Is A Game More Valuable Than Your Soul?!

Look, I Can See The Game!
I Can't See A Soul!
I Can See The Profit In A Game!
I Can't See The Profit In A Soul ...!

Sammy!
You're A Regulation Idiot!

No!
Don't Say That To Him!
This IS Serious!

Sammy, Jesus Christ Is Our Creator!
He Breathed The Breath Of Life
Into Man's Nostrils
AND
Man Became A Living Soul!
You Are Alive Because Of
AND
In Christ
BUT
You Are Nothing Without Jesus Christ!

You Are Everything
In AND With Jesus Christ!

Jesus
- Our Beloved Jesus -
Made The Ultimate Sacrifice
AND
Paid A Bitter Price
To Purchase You A Berth In His Eternity
AND
It Is Time My Brother
For You To Think Of Him
With Sincerity!

Why Should I?!
I'm Living Now
Because I Don't Have Tomorrow Put Down
Or On Lay-Away!

Ahhh, But You Can
You Do
AND
You Should!

What Rubbish Are You Talking Now?!
If I Can See It
Touch It
Taste It
Hear It
Smell It
Feel it
IT Exists!
Anything Else "Out There"
Is Of No Importance To Me!

Spiritual Things Are Spiritually Discerned!





And Don't Forget The Next Verse Which Asks:





Sammy, You May Want To Tread Lightly
In This Issue
And Humble Yourself
And Ask The Very Same Jesus
To Give You Light!

I Love You
And I Do Not Want You
To Be Among The Unwarned
And The Unsaved
Because I Did Not Tell You Truth!

Please Don't "Sell" Your Soul
For Beans In A Bowl
When You Can
By And With Jesus
Walk Forever
On Streets Of Gold!

Don't Settle For Expensive Champagne
When You May Have Priceless Water
From The River Of The Water Of Life!

Don't Settle For A Rotting Man's Fickle Fading Fashion Garment
When You Can Have An Eternal Robe Of
Christ's Righteousness
Made Of Linen White And Clean
AND
Don't Settle For An Earthly Crown Of Destructible Gold
When You May Have A Crown Of 
Heaven's Imperishable Gold 
Complete With Stars!

Wouldn't You Love To Fly
From Planet To Planet?!

I Can't Afford The Price Of The Ticket!

You Wouldn't Need A Ticket
If You Have Jesus In Your Life!

You'd Fly Free
On Angel's Wings
To World's Not Known To Mortal Men!

You Will Attend
The School Of God
AND
You Shall Converse With Brethren
Who Did Not Fall For The Sophistries Of
Satan The Fraud
Who Wanted To Ride The Back Road
To God's Glory
And, Instead
Caused Jesus To Die For You And Me
Beaten
Bloodied
Torn
Gory!

Take Heed, Sammy
AND
Love Yourself Enough
To Hear The Living Word!
Take Heed
AND
Love Yourself Enough
To Let God's Desire
Direction
In And For Your Life
Be Constant
AND
Willingly Heard!

Sammy, I'm Sorry For Calling You An Idiot!

Your Apology Is Not Accepted!

But Why Not!?!
It Is Sincerely Offered!

You Called Me A Regulation Idiot!

Oh.
I'm Begging Your Pardon!

Okay!

Friends?!

Friends!

We Still Have A Problem To Deal With! 

Take Note Of This Please ...

Jesus Christ, Himself
Said:






If We Despise The Great God
AND
His Great Offer Of Free Salvation
Bought And Paid For
With Innocent Blood
All That Is Left For Us
Is The Fiery Indignation!

Nobody Said Anything To Me About Fire?!

You Should Be Indignant!

Yeah!
Fire And Brimstone
In A Lake
And Eternal Separation From God!
Not A Good Place!
You DON'T Want To Go There!

So, Tell Me About The Good Place, Then!

My Pleasure!

Jesus Said To His Disciples:


I Go To Prepare A Place For You!
In My Father's House Are Many Mansions! 
You Shall Inherit All Things!
Come Unto Me And Rest!



I Like Where This Is Going!

You're Going To Love The Lord Jesus Christ
Who Is Going To Take You There!
He Is The King ... Of Love!
AND
The Shepherd
Who Is The Savior
AND
Our Friend ...!

... The Faithful, Forever Friend!

I Want To Know This Jesus!
Tell Me About Him?!

Do Have Time?!

I Pray So!
