VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Word Of God Means What It Says!











Mean, Mean, Means, Meaning! 

Mean Was Unkind! 

Mean Told What He Meant 
As In What He Wanted People To Understand That He Had Said! 

Means Had Money To Spend And To Spare 
But 
Like Life, Didn't Do Too Well When It Came Time To Share! 

You Could Ask Meaning About Mean, Mean, And Means
And 
He Could Give You The Studied Word 
Worthwhile To Be Heard! 

Meaning Made Everything Plain 
But 
That Did Not Mean That You Had To Accept What Was Said
And 
That, Dear Ones, Is The Rub! 

We Have The Holy Bible Which Interprets Itself! 
Then, Oh, The Horror Of It All
We Have Ten "Wise" Men 
Who Give Eleven Meanings 
To Almighty God's Inflexible, Infallible, Immutable Word! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Correct Our Errors
And
Unwaveringly Trust The Word Of 
The Word That Works Wonders! 

Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King, Is The Word: 
He Can't Change! 
Shouldn't You!?! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + THE TRUTH: The First, Last, And Only Dollar Bill!














Brethren, 

Let Us Not Deceive Ourselves, Nor Others
And 
Let No One Deceive Us: 
The Lord Jesus Gave Us Himself Aka The Truth! 

Since Mankind Needs Money To Survive
Jesus Christ The Lord 
Is 
Our First, Last, And Only Dollar Bill
- Our Only Hope -
Which Will Save, Satisfy, And Sanctify Us
And 
Preserve, Provide For, And Protect Us 
As Long As We Don't Lose Sight Of Or Lose Touch With It
And
Dare To Keep It Ever In Our Head, Heart, And Hand
No Matter How Hungry And Thirsty We Are 
For This, That, And The Other
Or How Boisterously, Angrily, Aggressively
And 
Contemptuously 
We Are Ragged Upon And Railed At To Give It Up
Give It Away
Or Cast It Away From Us 
So That We May Align With Or Belong To 
The "Access-Everything Crowd!" 



Neither Jump Up And Wave
Lie Down And Sleep
Bacchanal
Nor Narcissus 
Will Emerge As Victors
In The Battle For Eternal Life!
 

Only Those Who Have Jesus Christ 
Aka The One Dollar Bill Which Also Provides Hope
Can Fight And Win Battles 
And
Overcome Sin And Self
And
Endure To The End
And
Possess The Crown Of Life 
And
Live In The Heavenly Land! 

Dear Ones, 

There Will Always Be Someone 
Who Will Offer You Something Better, Brighter, Bolder
And 
Allegedly More Beautiful! 
Ignore Them! 

They Will Offer You Something More!
More Elaborate, Elevating, Enticing, And Epicurious! 
Ignore Them! 

They Will Offer You 
Delicious
Exciting
Actualizing
Tasty
Handy 

Instead, Choose What Is 
Liberty
Innocency
Faithfulness
Ennobling 

Choose Life ... In Christ! 

The One Dollar Bill ... The Truth
Is 
Priceless! 
As Long As You Have It
You Will Never Have To Spend A Red Cent On Lies! 

Peace!

HAPPINESS IS THE LORD'S + PRAYER: Father, My Hope For An Eternal Home Is In Christ Jesus!

NEEDFUL THINGS

It Has Been Said To Man:

You Have A Need!

How Can I Have A Need
If My Self Does Not Know It?
Further, Still
How Can I Have A Need
If I Do Not Recognize Same As Such?

Having A Need
And 
Not Knowing It
Is 
An Awful Shame!
I Must Needs Catch Up!

We Have Wants!
There Are Many That We Say Are Our Needs
And
We Have Needs Which Are Few
Which Turn Into Wants Upon The Right Cue!

The Thing Is, Though
Needful Things Are Necessary
Like Light
Love
Water Shelter Clothing And Food
But 
The Biggest Necessary
On This Here Planet
Is 
For Jesus Christ
And Not As - To Some - A Useful Tool!

MONEY

The Truth Is That Having Money
Does Not Make A Man Happy
And
Having No Money
Does Not Make A Man Sad!

Happiness
Is 
In The Hand Of The Almighty
And 
It Is He That Makes Our Hearts Glad!

RELEVANCE

I Have No Desire To Be
- By Man -
Made Relevant!

I Desire The Love Of My God!
I Can Wait For My Riches
And
I Will Receive Them As Gold
From The Hand Of My God!

I Am Thankful
For Sleep That Brings Rest!
For The Rest That Brings Peace!
For The Hope That Helps Me Cope
And
For The Love Of God That Is No Joke!


PRAYER:

Thank You, Dear Father

For My Blessings Today

And That 
Because Of The Blood Of Jesus
I Can Call Upon You Without Fear!

Bless Me To Be Faithful
Trusting Loving And Obedient, True
So That At The End Of My Journey
And
At The Appointed Time
I Will Go Home To Live Forever With You!


Please Help Me Not To Dwell

Upon The Sorrows And Slights Of The Day!

Help Me To Grateful
For The Day
And
For The Ability To You To Pray!

Bless Me To Hold On To Hope
For Faith
Cherishing The Promises Given
And
Daring To Walk Wisely In Belief
Because I Know
You Are Good Kind Loving
Ever Faithful
And
That In You I Shall Always Find Relief!
Thank You For The Blessings!


Father,
I Can Sing With The Saints Of The Ages

"What A Friend I Have In Jesus

All My Sins And Griefs He Bears!
What A Privilege I Have To Be Able To Carry
Everything
To My God In Humble Prayer!"


Please, Father
Let Not Pride Have A Hold Within Me!

Let Not Arrogance Mar My Face!

Let No Selfish Desire Hold Me Captive
Nor The Love Of This World
Cause Me To Be Marked
For The Consuming Fire
And
Become Known Forever
As A Cast-Off Disgrace!


I Am Available To You, My Father

And

I Pray In The Love Of The Lord
Who To Save Me
Left The Glory At Your Right Side!
Lead Me!
Guide Me!
Teach Me!
Chide Me
And
Until The Great Day
And Then Forever
With Me, I Beseech You
Please Abide!


Please Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Upon Me

Granting Me Spiritual Discernment

So That By Your Great Grace
In My Journey To Eternal Life
I May Defeat And Expose Satan
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Adversary Of Souls
The One Who
- Against The Truth - 
Daily
Does Lie!
Help Me Ever To You
For Help To Cry!


Thank You, Dear Father
For Hearing And For Answering My Prayer
For I Ask All 
In The Name Of The Holy Jesus
In Whom I 
Have A Hope

And

I Have A Prepared Home! 

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH - BEHOLDING: Changed!





I Beheld A Crochet Hook
AND
Knitting Needles A Pair
Next Thing I Knew
I Was Hooking And Knitting
In My Comfy, Comfy, Chair!

I Beheld A Sailor
AND
Before Long
Everyone I Knew
Knew
That I Was A-Swearing
Using A Vocabulary Askew
One That God's Faithful
Should Severely Eschew!

I Beheld A King James Bible
AND
Before Long
My Friends Knew
That I Was With Jesus
For Out Of My Mouth
The Sailor Language Flew
For
I Had Taken The Blood-Purchased Clue!

If One Fraternizes With Jack-Asses
Inevitably
One Will Bray!
If One Walks With The Devil
He Won't Want Jesus
Near His Fun Day
AND
From Salvation
He Will Determinedly Walk Away!

When We Walk With Jesus
- As In All Things -
We Become What We Behold
AND
As We Wittingly
Wilfully
Wonderingly
Wisely
Behold Our Master
We Become Fit Pillars
To Inhabit Glory
With The Father
The Spirit
AND
The King Of Glory
God's Son!

Let's Not Be Witless
Nor Worthless
Wasteful
Wrong-Headed
Vessels Unclean!
Let Us Draw Near
To The One
Who Gives Us Title
To Heaven Clear
AND
Let Us Esteem Him
With Love And Godly Fear!

Immerse Yourself In Good!
Don't Curse Yourself By Beholding Bad
For
It Is Appointed
Once
For Man To Die
AND
There Is No Do-Ever
No Matter What The Priestly Charlatans Cry!


Man-Money May Munchies Buy
But
Man-Money Cannot For Salvation Escry!

HAPPY SABBATH + What Purpose Money?










Many Are The Men Who Had Great Wealth
BUT ...
To Their Chagrin
Their Great Wealth
Cannot For Them
Purchase Great Health!

Great Money Men 
Have Denied
The Great God His Due
And Have Placed Their Great Wealth
On The Throne Of The Great God 
Who Can Save Them, Me, And You!

Money May Purchase Comforts
BUT
Money Cannot Purchase A Heaven-Made Crown!
Money On Earth Is Heavy
And Often The Seeking Soul Wears Down!

Money May Purchase Manners
BUT
Money Cannot Purchase What Matters!
Money On Earth Is Oft' Cursed
And Devours The Lusting Soul Who Carries It Around!

Money Has A Purpose And A Place!
To The Unbeliever It Buys Comforts Untold
AND
Their Money Is The God On The Throne

BUT ...

To The Faithful
Trusting-In-God Believer
Money Is An Aid In Living Life
Both For Self and Another
But Does Not For Him
Pave The Way 
To God
AND 
To The Eternal Blessed-of-God Life!




Let Money Do 
That For Which It Was Intended

BUT

Not At The Expense Of The Soul!






Let Us Not Let Money

Be Our God

For

Only The Living God

Has

The True Gold!

*******

TRUST

 The Living GOD

AND

IN The Fullness Of HIS TIME

RECEIVE

The Living GOD'S Eternal GOLD!

RICHES


RICHES!


Riches without SORROW – only God can give
For the rich man in his greed thinks he'll outlive
The poor, the meek, the beggar in the street
Because he trusts his riches against God to compete!




Riches without FEAR – only God can give
For the rich man in his arrogance thinks he has no need
For child-like faith, or Almighty God in his life
Since with his money he purchases the bodyguards he feeds!


Riches without GUILT – only God can give
For the rich man in his great pride believes
His money entitles him to achieve
Whatever, and whoever, his lusts can conceive to receive!


Ah, rich man, now poor man – if only you knew
The God of Creation is always watching you
To see if your riches will to His Glory attend
Or give you the things that'll cause you into hell to descend!


Repent ye, this day, and to the Lord give your praise
Don't worship the things that fade and rust away
Be kind to the unfortunate, the downtrodden, the weak
And at the first resurrection, up to Heaven, you'll be raised! **BJC**
