EMERGENCY SIREN: Nobody Wakes Up Dead!




 















For Every Siren That We Hear
There Is A Living Soul In Mortal Distress: 
Neither The Coroner Nor The Mortuary Van
Has Need Of Urgent Progress! 

Beloved, 

None Of Us Knows The Day Or The Hour 
When We Shall Close Our Eyes For The Long Sleep 
From Which No Man's Fabricated Alarm May Awaken Us 
And
For This Reason 
I Bid Us All To Keep Current Accounts With Our Lord Jesus! 

At The Siren's Sound
Please Raise Up Your Heart To The Holy God 
And 
Pray For Our Brethren That 
Our Blessed Lord Will Have Mercy 
And 
Grant Them Strength, Courage, And The Opportunity 
To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin 
And Take Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion 
So That They May Be Blessed 
And 
Saved Into The Living Kingdom
According To Their Will! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Know And Love The Lord
Please Do Not Relax And Act Carelessly About Your Salvation! 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Daily
So Let Us, As We Realize Our Errors
And 
As A Matter Of Habit
Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin ... Every Day! 

Nobody Wakes Up Dead 
But
Everybody Awakens To Face The King Of Glory
The Judge Of All Flesh Who Will Have His Rewards With Him! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
When The Time Comes
That We All Will Arise From Our Long Home 
To See Our Jesus In All His Glory
In Perfect Peace! 



Dear Lord Jesus, 

We Adore You! 
Please Bless Us
As We Confidently
Raise Our Hearts To You
In Heartfelt Prayer! 
AMEN!

Choose The Good Part: Peace ... Perfect Peace!

 


King David Uttered The Words 

"I Will Both Lay Me Down In Peace, And Sleep; 
For Thou, Lord, Only 
Makest Me To Dwell In Safety!" 

And
The Prophet Isaiah Followed Him 
By Saying What Kind Of Peace 
And
Why That Peace Was Assured ... Guaranteed! 

Beloved, 

If We Desire The Blessings Of The Eternal God
We Must Be Diligent 
To Sincerely Do Exactly What He Lovingly Asks Of Us! 

When Your Mind Is Stayed Upon Someone
It Is Because There Is Love
A Loving, Committed, Reciprocal Relationship 
Between Consenting Partners 
Who Care About Each Other
And 
Trust The Words "Until Death!" 
Even As They Walk The Lonesome Road Alone-Together! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Trust In The Lord Jesus Christ 
Causes Us To Become Rich ... Without Sorrow! 

The Eternal God's Love For Us 
Brings With It Neither Shame Nor Disappointment 
And
Because It Is A Love That Will Not Let Us Go
It Will ... Paradoxically 
Be A Love That Will Not Force Us To Stay Put! 

The Love Of God 
Is 
The Anchor For Our Souls 
And
Our Trust In God 
Gives Us The Wings And Eyesight Of The Eagle 
And
The Endurance Of The Ox Of The Protected Stall! 

Let Us This Day Think On Him Who Thinks On Us 
Who Are The Apple Of His All-Seeing, Unwearied, Eye! 

Jesus Christ Saves!

Please Trust And Obey 
And 
Be Forever Happy And Blessed! 

Stay Put 
Aka Stay Rooted And Grounded
Steadfast And Sure 
In The Love Of The Lord Christ: 
Rest Your Weary Soul In Him! 

Peace!

One Disorder, Three Lives, Three Outcomes!









If I Knock On Your Forehead
Will You Cheerfully Answer The Front Door!?! 

If The Answer Is Not An Emphatic "Yes!" 
What, May I Ask, Is Eating You!?! 

The Frontal Lobe Of The Brain Deals With 
Our Spirituality Aka Our Need To Worship
Our Morality Aka Our Chosen Behavior
And 
Our Will Aka To Do Or Not To Do Right, Wrong, Dicey Or Disgusting! 

The Holy Word Says That 
In The Presence Of Two Or Three Witnesses
A Matter Should Be Established: 
King Saul, King Solomon, And Prophet Elijah Were All Depressed
Suffering From Stinking Thinking! 

Instead Of Being Obedient And Walking With The Spirit Of Truth
King Saul Went Rogue 
And 
Ended Up Playing Footsie With That Lying Spirit, Satan
And 
Effectively, Efficiently, Offed Himself! 

King Solomon Disobediently Went After Many Pagan Wives And Concubines 
And 
Also Did What Many Of Us Are Doing Today 
Aka He Tried Every "Pleasure" Until Pleasure Was Pain! 

He Hated His Life 
And
Called Everything Vanity And Vexation Of Spirit! 

King Solomon Eventually Came To His Senses 
And 
Was Converted 
But 
Took The Scars With Him To His Grave! 

Elijah ... Almighty God's Faithful Prophet
Was Hunted Down Like A Wild Dog 
By The Blood-Thirsty Pagan Queen Jezebel: 
He Ran From Her 
And 
He Wanted To Die! 

The Lord Gave Prophet Elijah  A Work To Do 
And
At Its Completion 
He Was Picked Up In A Fiery Chariot 
And 
Carried To Heaven: 
He Never Tasted Death! 

One Disorder
         Three Lives
                Three Outcomes! 

Dear Ones,

Depressed Or Not
We Have Our Sacrosanct Will With Which To Bless God: 
Please Let Him Take Control Aka Have Master-Control
And 
You Shall Know, Enjoy, Experience His Perfect Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JOYS FOREVERMORE: All The Way With Christ Jesus!






We Must Come To Totally Trust Our Lord Christ! 

If ... When ... The Lord Jesus Sends You On One Of His Errands
He Will Provide The Means To Get It Done 
And
Will Show You The Method To Accomplish The Work! 

When The Lord Delivers Us From One Of Our Sorrows
He Delivers Us To Himself 
To Experience One Or Any Number Of His Determinate Joys! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Does Not Say "Joy Comes In The Morning!" 
If He Cannot Cause Morning To Break! 
He Does Not Say That He Will Turn Our Mourning Into Dancing 
If He Is Not The Creator, Composer
And 
Conductor Of Music ... And Joyful Celebration! 

Our Jesus Says "Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding!" 
Because 
He Provides You With His Wisdom! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace 
Because 
He Will End Our Every War! 
He Is The Light As He Extinguishes Darkness! 
He Is The Life Of Every Man 
Because 
He Is The Author Of Life 
And
Has Conquered Death! 

Jesus Christ Will Supply Joys Forevermore 
Because 
He Is The Joy Of Living 
And
Grants Eternal Life! 

Our Lord Christ Saves Us 
Because 
He Is The Savior
And 
He Will Redeem Us 
Because 
He Has Already Paid Our Purchase Price! 

Our Blessed And Beloved Jesus Will Come Back For Us 
Because 
He Promised To Return As He Was Leaving Us Behind 
To Go To Our Father! 

Our Lord And God Known Almighty Is Able 
And
Everything That He Has Said That He Will Do
He Is The Power To Accomplish It! 

Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory
Asks Us To Trust Him 
And 
He Gives Us An Each-Day Gift Of 
A Measure Of His Faith 
To Use To Trust Him At His Word Aka The Truth! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

A New Day To Live
Brings A Fresh Supply Of Faith 
To Use To Honor The Lord! 

Choose To Be Blessed! 
Choose To Believe God: 
Please Use Your Gift Of Faith For Today!
 
Peace That Comes From The Prince Of Peace
Is
Perfect Peace:
Peace Be Upon You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!




Give Almighty God Great Praise: 
Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved
About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 
Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 
And 
Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 
Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God
Who Ever Strengthens Us 
And 
Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 
But 
What We Mean To Say Is That 
We Trust Him Sometimes 
And 
Usually When It Is Convenient 
Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 
And 
We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers
That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 
And 
Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 
Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 
And 
We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 
Aka Haul Back The 
"Where Was God When ... !?!" 
And 
Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 
"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 
My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 
When You Have Cash To Burn
Food To Waste
Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot
Nice Children
The Adoring Spouse
And 
Pleasant Work! 

If, However
You Can Pray, Praise
And 
Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life
You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves
Committed Christians 
May Be As The Whistling Kettle That
Sings Its Best Music 
When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied
 To Its Bare Bottom 
And
The Only Stress-Reliever
Is To Sing Unto God 
Until Relief
The Promise Of Very Present Help
Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For Being The On-Time
In-Time
Never-Late
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Ever-Loving
Always-Giving God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 
Because
You Are Our Perfect Love
Blessed Hope
And
Sweet Peace! 
AMEN!!!

Hope Thou In God!








HOPE 
Having Occasions To Pray Everday! 

Are You ... Blessed Child Of The Eternal God
Living A Hope-Filled Life!?! 

What Does Hope Mean To You!?! 

Do You Know That 
Living A Life Where You Have No Hope
Where You Feel Helpless
Makes You As One Heedless, Indifferent, Careless
And 
Deadly Dangerous!?! 

Beloved, 

Placing Your Hope Upon A Fallible Person 
Makes You Prime Real Estate 
For Satan And His Kind To Set Up Shop 
And 
Do A Brisk Trade Of Destruction
At Your Personal Expense! 

Satan ... The Damned ... Has Hope! 
He Has Opportunity To Prey On Someone Every Day 
And
He Takes His Job Seriously! 

Answer The Question ...

Why Don't You Have Hope In Jesus Christ 
Who Calls Us To Have Hope
To Trust
To Rely On Him 
Who Always Saves!?! 

Satan Has But A Short Time 
And 
Being Vilely Opportunistic
He Is Working Hard To Make 
His Number Of Acquisitions Of Lost Souls Look Bountiful! 

Why Aren't You Leaning On The Lord
Trusting His Work
Trusting His Work
Walking By Faith
Enduring All That Comes Your Way 
Knowing That Your Hope In Jesus 
Exchanges Your Borne Cross 
For A Wearable Crown Of Life 
In The Beautiful City Of God 
Where Hope Hands Over Operations 
To Eternal Love, Joy
And 
Perfect Peace!?! 

If The Air Of Entitlement 
Is 
Robbing You Of Your Hope
Stop Instantly
Think Critically
And 
Boldly Drop The Attitude
And 
Humbly Consider That Your Creator ... Your Father 
Is 
In Heaven, High, And Lifted Up
Seated On His Great White Throne
And 
You Are On Earth ... His Footstool!

 Interpretation!?! 

The Lord Sees Everything
Knows Everything
Is Over Everything 
And
He Decides What Is Best For You
When, Where 
And 
How! 

Our Father Makes No Mistakes 
And
His Request For You To Have Hope In Him 
Is 
For Your Temporal Upliftment 
And 
Your Eternal Blessing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Lose The Attitude 
And 
Live Hopefully 
And 
With Gratitude
And
Your Altitude Will Be Blessed 
By Your Living In The Beatitudes!

Peace Be Upon You 
As You Have Faith ... As You Hope
In Jesus Christ Our Lord!

HAPPY SABBATH + C.L.O.E Christian









Are You A Sometime
A Part-Time 
Or A Committed Full-Time Christian!?! 

Are You A Full-Time Christian 
Who Does Full-Time Worship 
In The Presence Of Christians Called And Committed 
But
Behaves Contrary To The Call To Glory 
In The Presence Of Your Non-Christian Friends 
Because 
You "Want To Fit In And Not Make Waves 
Or Be A Square Peg In A Round Hole!?!" 

Is Your Walk With The Lord 
Built Upon The Holy Faith Which Is 
Confidence In Christ
 Love
Obedience 
   And 
Endurance!?! 

Beloved, 

Where Would You Be
What Would You Aka Could You Do
How Would You Feel, Survive
And 
Prosper 
If
Jesus Christ, Your Only Hope
Had Been The Part-Time Creator 
And 
Is Now Your Part-Time Savior
Redeemer
Great Physician
Friend
Provider, Sustainer,
Justifier, Sanctifier
Healer, Teacher
Shepherd, Defender
Lover Of Your Soul
And
Glorifier To Be!?! 

Stand Firm ...

Being An Uncomfortable-With-Sin Christian 
Is
Going To Light You Up 
And
Cut You Off From Friend And Family 
And
Make You A Target Of All The Foes Of Jesus Christ 
But
It Will Brand You As Favored
Blessed
And 
Protected By The Living, Holy
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
All-Seeing God Of Grace And Glory! 

Take Heed ... 

You Cannot Serve Two Masters: 
Part-Timers Don't Get Full Benefits! 

Please Commit To Humbly, Enduringly
Faithfully Carrying The Cross Of Shame 
So That You Will ... Immortalized
Incorruptibly Wear 
The Crown Of Life Aka Glory! 

Perfect Peace With Christ ... Is!

Happy, Helped And Hopeful!







Happy ... Helped ... Hopeful: 
This Is The Living Legacy Of 
Almighty God's Love Toward Us Collectively 
And 
Personally Individually! 

Beloved, 

We Who Love The Lord Christ 
And 
Choose To Truly Worship Him By Our Willing Obedience 
Are Blessed Over 
And 
Above Those Who Know Not The Lord! 

Our Happiness 
Is 
From The Lord Of Life! 

Our Help 
Is 
From Him Who Is Our Shepherd, Refuge And Strength
Our Very Present Help 
In Our Times Of Sure-To-Come Trouble! 

Our Hope 
Is 
In Our Savior, Redeemer, Forever Faithful Friend 
Who Knows Our Names, Present And Future
 And
Remembers Our Frame:
He Does Not Forget That We Are Dust! 

In Jesus Christ, We Live And Breathe: 
Without The Breath Of Life From Him
We Most Assuredly Die! 

He Is Real ...

Our Lord's Hands, Feet, Ears And Mouth 
Are Fully Functioning 
And 
I Beseech Us All To Remember That 
With His Hands, He Made Us! 

With His Mouth 
He Called All That We Behold Into Being! 

With His Ears 
He Hears Our Prayers
And 
On Determined Feet He Walked To Calvary 
To Restore Us Who Are Obedient Sheep! 

Trust The Living Word Of Truth ...

Be Happy In Jesus 
The Only One Whose Help Gives Us A Myriad Reasons 
To Have Abundant Hope In The God Who Gives And Forgives
Feeds And Frees
Succors And Sanctifies
And 
Breaks Bounds 
And
Bountifully Blesses The Brave Believer 
Bound For Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Be Joyful In Jesus Christ The King Of Love:
In Him Is Our Perfect Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I-KNOW: Children Of The Light!

 




We Are Charged By The Lord Of Love 
To Live Good And Upright Lives 
Motivated By Justice, Mercy 
And 
Humility 
Because 
No One Can Escape The Consequence Of Sin 
Even If We Have Confessed 
And 
Repented Of That Sin! 

We Are Warned 
To Honestly Do To Others 
What We Personally ... Truthfully
Want Done Unto Us! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Cautions Us 
For Or Against A Thing
It Will Do Us Well 
To Take Earnest Heed! 

We ... For Our Own Safety's Sake
Need To Practice Unrestrained Obedience
While Totally Disregarding Damnable Doubt
And
Deadly Defiance 
If 
It Is Our Whole Heart's Desire 
To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Let's Cease From The I-Feel 
And 
Hold To The I-Know 
Which Comes From The Sure And Secure 
"Thus Saith The Lord Of Life!" 
In Whom Is No Shadow Of Turning
Instability Or Deceit! 

Let Us Choose The Meek, Humble
Teachable
Enduringly-Faithful Spirit Of The Child Of God 
Truly Bound For Glory! 

By Almighty God's Great, Matchless, Grace
Let Us Allow The Holy Spirit To Do His Saving Work 
To Help Us Change Our Wayward Thoughts 
And By Extension
Our Untoward Actions 
So That Our Lord Will Find Good Pleasure 
In Us Who Are His Truly Blessed Children Of The Light! 

Peace Be Upon You! 
May The Bountiful Blessings Of The Lord Jesus Christ
Make You Rich Indeed!

Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!








To Live Is To See Change
And
Wherever There Is Change There Is Decay! 

Be Glad ...

We Were Not Created 
To Just Change From Day To Day To Year To Death 
Like Animals Without Hope 
So We Need To Repair To The Creator-God
Our Provider, Sustainer
Healer, Hope, Help 
And 
Salvation
The Decaying Of Our Bodies To Route Out! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Cares ... For You And For Me
Individually ... Personally
So Dare To Dare And Love Him Back
And
Don't Just Do It Socially!

We Are Dearly Loved 
And 
We Need To Start Living To Live 
And 
Cease Living To Die! 

Don't You Know ... 

We Have The Friend Who Is Eternal
Who Gives The Best Gifts With Both Hands 
And 
Does Not Ever Take Them Back! 

He Is Constantly Inviting Us To Enter His Embrace 
And 
His Heart

And

He Is Inviting Us To Enter His House Of Peace, Love
Joy Forevermore
And 
Blessings
Now, Today ... This Very Moment 
By His Gift To Us Of Daily Faith
And Later
By His Gift Of Eternal Life
- Immortality And Incorruptibility - 
Physically
In Our Own Bodies
To See Him With Our Very Own Eyes!
Jesus Christ Is Not One To Lie! 

Any Friend Not Named
Jesus Christ The Lord
Is
A Fair- Weather Friend! 
Jesus Christ Our Lord
Is
The Only One 
Upon Whom We Can 
And
Should 
Ever, Always, In All Ways, Always Depend!

Beloved, 

Let's Pray Passionately ... Not Politically Correctly!
Let's Pray Faithfully ... Always Truthfully
And 
Really Talk To Our Father ... Our Jesus
- With The Help Of The Holy Spirit - 
As If Talking To Our Best Friend: He, Alone, Is! 

Only A Look ... 

Lovingly, Longingly, Look At Jesus Christ! 
Praise Him With Your Whole Heart! 
Touch Him! 
Embrace Him! 
Cry Out To Him! 
Laugh With Him ... Never About Him! 
Talk To Him About Everything ... He Knows Your Need! 
Get Angry At Him: He Can Handle It! 
Be Happy That He's There For You! 
Ask For A Gift: His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 
Apologize For Sin And Selfishness! 
Rest In And On Him! 
Listen To His Words, His Heart! 
Praise Him Again: He Deserves It
And 
Repeat ... Ad Nauseum!
Praying Is Not A Corporate Symposium! 
Trust Ye In The Lord Jehovah!


Anything Less Than
Perfect Peace
Is
All-Out War!
