Let Us Not Be High-Minded, Hard-Mout' Goats!




We Need To Do Better! 

Consider That 
The Lord Jesus Did Not Use Goat Parts 
To Create Man! 

The Lord Took The Dust Of The Earth 
Which He, Himself, Created 
And 
Formed Man 
And
He, Himself, Blew The Breath Of Life From Himself 
Into Adam's Nostrils 
And 
Caused Him To Be ... Able! 

We Need To Know Our Value 
Through The Eyes Of Almighty God 
And 
Stop Living Like Incendiary Devices 
Always Ready, Willing, And Able To Explode 
And 
Do Damage To Whomever, Whenever
With Or Without Provocation Or Perks! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Is Our Shepherd 
And 
We Are The Sheep Of His Pasture: 
He Leads Us! 

If For Some Unknown Reason ... Or Just Because
You Decide That You Are Better Than Your Creator 
Who Has Life And Death Control Over Your Existence
Consider This: 

You, By Your Own Will
And Exercising Your God-Given Choice
Have Decided That You Are A Goat ... Your Own Leader
And 
He Who Owns You Will Have To Follow Where You Lead! 

Satan Loves This Attitude 
And
 Is Glad To Follow You
Encouraging You To Go To 
The Spiritually-Dead And Eternally-Done End 
To End Existence! 

Jesus Christ Doesn't Make Mistakes: 
We Are To Go To Him To Correct Our Mistakes! 

Let Us Not Be High-Minded, Hard-Mout' Goats 
But 
Be Gentle, Humble, Sheep 
Who Faithfully Follow The Shepherd 
Who Will Restore Our Souls! 

Look To Jesus Christ The Lord 
And 
Be Saved! 

Peace!

Choose Life ... And Blessings!



Provocations And Enticements Aside
We Always Have A Free-Will Choice! 

By The Word Of Man You Would Be Dead! 
By The Will Of Almighty God You Are Alive! 

The Word Of God Creates! 
The Will Of Man Decimates! 

The Word Of God Illuminates! 
The Word Of Man Enervates! 

The Word Of God Satiates! 
The Word Of Man Obfuscates! 

The Will And Way Of God Elevates! 
The Will And Ways Of Man Tittilate! 

With Whom, And For What, Will You Stand!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have This Choice: 
Exercise Faith In The Living Word Of The Eternal God 
Or Indulge Doubt Concerning 
The Eternal God's Ability To "Back-Up His Mouth!" 
Aka Do Exactly As He Has Promised! 

With Regard To Ourselves
Are We Being Faithful To Our Promises To Our Dear Savior!?! 

Do You Understand And Accept That 
Giving Your Word To The Lord 
And
Standing Upon This Word 
Through The Gift Of Faith Daily Given To You To Help You 
Is
Your Only Safeguard Against Descending Into Doubt And Despair 
Which Are Lively Tools Of Satan!?! 

We Will Make Mistakes 
But
We Have An High Priest Who Feels 
And 
Understands What We Go Through 
And
Provides Help To Us In The Person Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Comforts, Guides, And Corrects Us 
And
Sets Us On Straight Paths! 

You Need Help!?! 

Ask For Help 
And
Reach For The Hand That Brings Hope, Help 
And 
Healing! 

You Need Rest!?! 

Reach For Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
Jesus Christ The King
In Whom Is Rest And Refreshing! 

Choose Love! 
Choose Life! 
Choose The Lord! 

Peace!

OUT WITH THE OLD: Pursue Peace!







Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Light Of Life
The Light Of The World
The Hope Of Every Man, Woman, And Child! 

Beloved, 

The Old Year 
Is 
In The Departure Lounge Leaving Time
And
Is Headed For Eternity
Never To Pass This Way Again!
 
What Has Been Done Can't Be Undone 
But
By Almighty God's Great Grace 
And
With Spared Lives
- By Confession And True Heart Repentance - 
Mistakes And Missteps Can Be Corrected: 
Fix Them! 

What Unkind And Hurtful Words Have Been Spoken 
Cannot Be Unsaid 
But
Like Any Bad Laws Of A Country
They Can Be Amended: 
Apologize
And 
Don't Repeat Them! 

Choose To Change Your Thoughts 
And Thereby
Change Your Words 
And 
Your Actions! 

The New Year Is Drawing Nigh! 
Let's Not Indulge In The Ineffective 
"New Year, New Rules" Last A Week Nonsense! 

Let's Get Serious About Living The Life Of Christ 
Aka Living Our Lives For Christ 
Which Shall Surely Overflow 
Into How We Live With Our Fellowmen! 
Do To And For Others
What You Personally Desire 
To Have Done To You
And 
For Yourself! 

Pray! 

Talk Is Cheap! 
Whiskey Is Expensive! 
Truth Is Free! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Choose To Be Kind! 
Share Your Faith! 
Pursue Peace! 
Exercise Your Faith! 
Pray With Passion!
Pray For Power!

Jesus Christ
Is 
Our Answer: 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 

Peace Be Upon You All!

DISOBEDIENCE DOESN'T PAY: Almighty God's Gonna Laugh!?!



Do You All Remember When We Were Small
Knee-High To A Grasshopper
And Mama Used To Tell Us:

"Don't Do That Thing Because ...
And If You Fall And Hurt Yourself
I'm Going To Spank You ...
And If You Cry After Disobeying Me
And Falling And Hurting Yourself
I Am Going To Spank You ...!

... And She Did!

Did She Ever!

I Remember That The Punishment
Felt Worst Than The Actual Disobedience ...!

Didn't You Ever Wonder ... After We Grew Up
Where She Got That Idea From!?!

I Sure Did! 
It Was Brutal 
And It Was Effective
And We All Learnt Never To Disobey Her Again!

Well, Today Is Our Lucky Day!
We Are Going To See The Road-Map
That Mama Followed!

Listen To This!

Proverbs 1:24-27 King James KJV | Bible proverbs, Bible scriptures ...




These Words Are Amongst Some Of 
The Most Frightening Statements 
Uttered Against Humans 
And 
Should Be Taken Heart 
By All Of Us Who Desire To See Jesus Christ The King 
- The Judge Of All Flesh -
In Perfect Peace! 

Beloved, 

Willful Disobedience 
Is 
Man Committing A Crime ... Punishable By Death
Against His Own Soul 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts
Our Words 
And 
Our Deeds 
So That In The Great Day Of Small Things 
We Are Not With Those Humans Who Had Goat Parts 
And 
Thought They Could Out-Thin
Out-Run
Out-Maneuver
Outlaw
And 
Outlast The Eternal God 
Who Means What He Says
Does What He Says
And
Delivers On His Promises Be They Gifts Or ... Punishments! 

Almighty God's Word Shall Stand 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Choose To Hear
Understand, Accept 
And
Act Upon On All Things Which Say: 
"Thus Saith THE LORD OF LIFE!" 
Who Doesn't Stutter 
Or Gamble
Or Make Mistakes!

Let Us Be Amongst The Truly Wise: 
Embrace The Truth 
And 
Dare To Live In Total Obedience 
So That The Lake Of Fire 
Does Not Greedily Embrace You! 

Please Heed The Law Of Life 
From The Giver Of Life 
And 
You Shall Surely Enjoy ... For Eternity
Everlasting Life! 

Obedience Always, Always, Always, Profitably Pays! 
Let This Word To The Wise Be Sufficient For Me And For You: 
Live In One Accord With The Lord!
In Him Is Our Only And True Peace!


Contrary To Popular Belief
Disobedience Can't
And
Doesn't Pay
And
We Have The Word Of God On It
As Proof!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You!




Great Peace
Have They Which Love Thy Law

And

Nothing Shall Offend Them:


The Perfect Law Of The Lord

Converts The Soul


And

Makes Simple Men Wise!

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

Sin 
Is 
Not A Light Thing
To Be Trivialized
And
Neither Should It In Our Lives Loom Large!
The Lord Of Life, Light And Glory
Came And Showed ... Gave Us 
The Living Way
Sin, From Our Lives, To Boldly Discard!
Don't Board The Doubting Man's Doomed Barge!

Open Your Eyes ...

Temptation Will Come To All Men!

Jesus Christ Resisted By The Living Word
And
Overcame
And
Even Now 
He Is Readily Available
- By His Holy Spirit Of Truth -
To Help Us To Resist Self, Sin And Satan:

Let's Read The Holy Word To See How:

Resist The Devil 
And 
He Will Flee From You!
Depart From Evil ... It Has No Dominion Over You!

Put On The Whole Armor Of God
And 
You Shall Be Able To Stand 
Against The Wiles Of The Devil!

All Temptation Is Common To Man:
Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
And 
You Will Find Grace 
To Help You In Your Time Of Need!
Your Lord Is The Holy Son Of God
The Beloved Son Of Man!





The Name Of The Lord
Is
The Strong Tower:
The Righteous Run To It 
And 
Are Saved
Blessed, Strengthened, Comforted
Protected, Fed ... Loved!

Love ... Does ...

When You Love The Lord With Your Whole Heart
Sin Will Never Have Dominion Over You!

Mortal Men Make Myriad Mistakes
But
Mistakes ... In The Life Of 
The Committed, Consecrated-To-Christ, Christian
Are Never Fatal
Because
Like King David
He Has A Contrite Heart 
Which Embraces Grace
And
Heeds The Call To Confess And Repent
As And When Sin In The Life Is Pointed Out!

To Repent Is To Turn Away From That Sin!
To Confess Is To Acknowledge The Known Wrong!
To Have A Contrite Heart
Is 
To Be Sincerely Repentant For The Offense 
In The First Place
And
Desire Never To Commit It Ever Again!
Cherish This: The Lord Will Help You!

Brethren, 

We Sinners Come To The Lord 
Dirty, Dirty ... Real Unclean
Knowing Our Condition
And
Clearly Seeing Our Need Of The Lord Christ
The Son Of David
And
His Free Gift Of Sure And Secure Salvation!

Dirty You Came To The Lord
But
Dirty You Cannot Remain!

Childlike You May Come
But
Childish You May Not Remain!
You, Me, We Must Grow In Grace
To Attain Unto The Fullness Of 
The Stature Of Jesus Christ
Aka We Must Become Like Christ! 

We Have The Promise ...

We Don't Know What We Shall Be
But
We Shall Be Like Him
For We Shall See The Lord
As He Is ... Really!!
The Almighty God Said So!

This Promise Is A Glorious Gift To Cherish
And
Eagerly Look Forward To Receiving
In The Day Of Appointment!

We've Got That Enemy ...

Do Not Permit Satan 
To Construct Your Cage Of Disappointment!

Be Wise Unto Salvation ...

Your Commission
If
You Choose To Accept It
Is
To Disappoint The Deceiver
Who Dares To Try And Cause You
To Be Disinherited By The Lord Christ!
Don't Fall For The Demonic Device! 

Truth Is Always Perfect
Always Good
Always Nice And Plain
And
Always, Always, Cuts Straight And Clean
No Matter Who Wields The Knife!

Want To Buy A Slice Of Truth!?!
The Preserved Word Of God 
Is 
Truth

And

It Is Always Free!

A Prayer Inside Of A Prayer!





Dear Father In Heaven,
I Come To You Today
Burdened By A Spirit Troubled
By Sugary-Snack Prayers!

Father,
I Am Troubled By The Prayers That Say:

"Thank You, Lord, For The Blessing!"

As Though The Blessing Has No Name
And
The Giver Has No Part In My Rejoicing!

I Am Troubled, Lord
By The Form Of Prayer
Constant
Today
And
Every Day ...

"Thank You For The Roof Over My Head
For Health
For Strength
For Friends
For Family!"

Father,
I Am Thankful
For All These Things
But
Please Help Me To Think Deeply
For I Am Truly Thankful For Your Grace
So That I
- In My Praying -
Do Not Issue Just A Laundry List Of Wants
Nor
A Grocery List Of Needs
And
Mere-Form "Thank You's!"
I Desire My Gratitude To Shine Through!
I Desire My Great Love For You To Show!

I Desire, Lord
In All The Honesty
That A Wicked Human Heart Can Muster
To Be Able To Pray
To My Holy God
And
Truthfully Say:


Father,
Today
I Do Not Desire Anything
For Nor From The Corporeal Realm!
I Desire To Bless You, Lord
Upon My From Sleep Waking!


I Desire, Lord
To Give You Gifts
Never As Grand As You Give Men
But
I Desire To Gift You, Lord
With My Life
By The Exercise Of My Faith
And
My Walking Before You In Humility!


Added To That, Lord
Please Accept My Willingness

To Help Finish The Living Gospel Work
And
My Desire To Ease The Burden
Of A Brother Sister ... In Your Name
And
My Desire To Honor You, Father
By Daily, Willingly, Doing
All
That You Ask Me To Do!
Help Me Not To Think Of Costs
For, Therein
I Know I Will Be Lost!


Father,
I Know I Will Make Mistakes

And
I Also Know That You Are Just To Forgive My Sin
So I Am Beseeching You
To Help Me Ever To Come To You
Ever Unwilling To Hide
Ever Shielded From Pride
Ever Open To Correction

And
Ever Willing For You To Everlastingly Be My Guide!


Father,
I Look To The Great Day
When
I Shall Be What Jesus Christ Is
And
Beseech You, Loving Father
To Help Me To Give To You
All The Useless Things
In My Life
That Would Tend To My Damnation
And

I Ask You, Please
To Help Me, Please
Not To Despise
Your Gracious, Precious Gift To Me
Of My Soul's Eternal Salvation!


Father,
I Love You!
I Am Your Child
And

I Ask You To Bless Me
To Honor
Bless
Worship

And
Praise You
With My Willing Obedience
No Matter The Consequences!

Please Lead Me Gently ... Home

For I Know Of A Surety
That You Are The Holy God
In Whom I Live And Breathe
And
From Whom My Hope For Glory Comes!
Remember, Lord
Your Promises
To The Household Of Faith
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, I Plead!
AMEN.

Yesterday



Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I pray that all is well with you and your loved ones!

     How often have you found yourself wishing - like in your childhood games - for a "do-over?" Often? Seldom? Never?

     Have you wished you could, and have then been glad you can't?  

     Well, today's poem, short and to the point, treats exactly to that issue! And while we are at it, let us not forget that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8).

     Enjoy!



Yesterday


When I think of yesterday
There’s not much I can do,
But learn from any mistakes I’ve made
And see what better I can do!


And if yesterday has no regrets
Of things that can’t be undone
I gaze upon my triumphs
And tell myself: “Yes! Well done!”


Yes, I know thoughts of yesterday
All in all can go two ways
But thankfully in the Master’s Plan
I’ve a chance for a brand new day!


And since I can’t erase the past,
I will not dwell on it, 
My yesterdays, though a part of me
Now dwell in eternity!



YESTERDAY is HISTORY!

TODAY is a GIFT!

TOMORROW is a MYSTERY!
