Tender Thoughts Turn Tawdry On Your Tongue!







Thought, Word, And Deed: 
Simple Words! 

Dynamically Good 
Or 
Devastatingly Bad Impacts 
Are The Only Options Available To All Mankind 
As A Result Of Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

Beloved, 

Are You ... A Committed Christian
Living Your Values, Standards, And Morals 
According To The Many Good Words You Famously Utter 
Or 
Are They Just Thoughts Enlivened 
Which Came As A Result Of Something That 
Somebody Said To Someone Somewhere Special 
To Get Some Perk!?! 

Tender Thoughts Turn Tawdry On Your Tongue! 
Winsome Words Get Waylaid By Whine And Wine! 

And

Decent Deeds Turn Dicey And Disastrous 
Unless Done For Our Dear Lord! 

What Are You Doing 
When You Say What You Are Thinking!?! 

Are You A Loving Child Of Almighty God
A Faithful Ambassador For Christ
An Apt Student Of The School Of Jesus
And 
An Honest Servant Of The Savior!?! 

Is Your Lived Life A Guiding Light For A Traveller!?! 

Are You Dirty In The Dark!?! 

Are You An All-Rounder Given To Batting Left 
And 
Bowling Right To Get What You Want 
And 
Saving Faith Be Damned!?! 

Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 
What Are Yours!?! 

Who Are You Truly!?! 

Whose Are You!?! 

Is Our Dear Jesus Profited By What You Think, Say 
And 
Daily Practice!?! 

Let's Pray For Rain
Look Up
And
Clean Out Our Head 'n Heart House As Indicated! 

Peace!

Consecrated ... Dedicated!





Consecrated To God
AND
Dedicated To Self
Were Raised By The Same Parents
AND
Lived In The Same Household
BUT
Attended Two Different Schools
Of Higher Education
AND
Sung Different Tunes
AND
Walked Different Walks
AND
Kept Different Friends
AND
Spoke Different Languages
AND
Allegedly Served The Same God
BUT
With A Twist And A Diss!

The Twist Was That
Consecrated To God
Was
Dedicated To God
In All That He Did
Said
AND
Thought
AND
The Diss Is That
Dedicated To Self
Had Consecrated Himself
To Disobeying
The Laws Of The Holy God
AND
Has Acquired A Following
Much Like That Of The Fallen-Angel Fraud
AND
Is Working Diligently
To Get Men
Great And Small
Rich And Poor
Free And Bond
To Worship At His Extensive Table Of
Goodies
Pretties
Baubles
Benefits
Benefactors
Beliefs
Belly Bands
Bows
If's
Then's
But's
Why's
Whatfor's
Wherefore's
Therefore's
Because's
Wishcraft's
Witchcraft's
AND
Whynot's!

His Solely-Self Business
Was Booming
AND
His Personal Grooming And Perfuming
Was Luminously Luscious
Replete With Rare Aromatics
Dedicated To Tickle The Nose
AND
The Fancy Of Those
Who Throve On Hot
Heady
AND
Patently Popular!
He Was A Hot Shot ... Snot!

Well  ...
As You May Have
Probably Likely Figured Out
Guessed
Consecrated To God
Being Consecrated To God
Was Hardly Getting Any Play
Around The Town!

Epithets Like

"Too Fastidious!"
"Holy Roller!"
"Boring!"
"You Suck Always!"
"Buzz Killer!"

AND

"Lousy Loser!"

Were Continually
Continuously
Conscientiously
Tossed At That Consecrated
BUT
- Strangely Enough -
He Seemed Unmooooved!

He Was As Happy As A Clam!
He Was As Busy As A Bee!
He Was As Quiet As A Church-Mouse
AND
He Walked With
AND
Unto
The Living God
Conscientiously
AND
He Visibly
Vocally
Confidently
AND
For All Men
Carefully Cared!
He Chose To Not By Satan Be Snared!
He Diligently God's Saving Truth Shared!
He Held The Highest In Godly Fear!

These Two Brethren
Were A Textbook Study Of Contrasts
With Nothing With Which
Their Conduct And Characters
Could Be Compared!

One Had Character!
One Was Characterless!
One Was Resolute!
One Was Running Baseless!
One Was Honorable!
One Was Vile And Careless
BUT
Both Sang
In The Sanctuary Choir
AND
That Dedicated To Self
Was The Head Of Personal Ministries
AND
Leader Of The Festival Choir!
His Passion Was On Fire!

Brethren ...

Be Thou Ever Grateful
That Day Runs Until Night Catches It
That Onion Makes Exposed Eyes Tear
AND
That The Mighty God
Makes Profligate Willful Sinners
- At Their Own Will's Choosing 
No Matter How Late To Watchers It May Be -
Humble Themselves
In Godly Fear!

One Glad Morning
At The Break Of The Dawning
Dedicated To Self
Dedicated Himself
In The Mirror
That
- To Gross Even Grand Effect -
Honorably To Complete Satisfaction
Displays His Beloved  ...god!


Dedicated To Self Was Pleased With His Prayers!
He Had Given The Requisite
Three Cheers!!!
ANDTurning ... Just So
To Gain The Full Effect Of The Vanity Flood Light
Seemingly
Positively
Practically
Turned To Stone
Paralyzed
Unable Even To Reach
For The Customized Cell Telephone
Whose Ring Tone Said:

I Am That I Am! 
I Am! 
I Am ... That I Am!


For Three Whole Hold-Him Days
He Was There ... Alone!
For Three Whole Scold-Him Days
His Thoughts Were His Alone!
For Three Whole Unfolding Days
He Had To Hear His Telephone
Snarkily Saying
Singing:

I Am That I Am! 
I Am! 
I Am ... That I Am!


His Eyes Ran!
His Nose Leaked!
His Ears Itched!
He Had Butter On His Teeth
AND
He Did Not Care
For  ... Now
The Eternal God
Had The Full Attention
Of His Head
His Heart
AND
All Two Ears
AND
He Could
- No Longer Wilfully Blind -
Could Could See
With Unclouded Eyes
That His Life Thus Far Was Foolish
AND
His Base Acts Against Great Grace
Through Malice
Were Totally Asinine!

He Held The Chalice!
He Almost Almost  Almost Wished
To Be Physically Blind
For Then He Would Not
Be Able To See
What He Had Caused To Be Written
In God's Remembrance Book
Immortalized
Against The Great Day
When Men
- Unrepentant -
Will For Their Own Sin
Thoroughly
- Without Benefit Of Dear Mercy -
Have To Have To Pay!

When He Came To Himself
He Was Strongly Heard Saying:

"Idiocy ... Thy Name Is Man!
So Much For That Plan!
Down With Catch As Catch Can!
You Must Honor
The Glorious One
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Fallen Man!"


His Lesson Learned
Dedicated To Self
Started To Teach!
His Profane Goal Was Summarily Set Aside
For Self
He No Longer Did Reach!

His Clothes Had Done Been Scrubbed
Washed
In Salvation Bleach!
He Had Learned
That Foolishness Is Not Sense
AND
A Wasted Life
Is A Life Not Securely Spent!

Dedicated To Self
- Reformed -
Became One Consecrated To God
AND
That
My Beloved Dear Ones
Is One Less Soul
For
The Lost-Man Army
Of The Great Fraud
So
Let That Be Your Soul's Goal!

Dedicated To Self
Now Consecrated To Saving The Soul From 
Sin And Self
Acknowledged
That He Was Not Lucky
BUT
Blessed
For
In Hind Sight
His Cup Had Been
Half A Knuckle
Away From Full
AND
Not Being
- By God -
Allowed To Breach The Brim
Knew Of A Surety
That His Next Step
Would Have Been
- At The Appointed Time -
Naked Lake Of Fire And Brimstone Swimming!

Grace And Mercy
Met And ... Kissed
AND
Dedicated-Consecrated To God
Is
With 
AND
Unto The Living God
Now Diligently Walking!

PRAYER: Lord, Let Not My Heart Be Barren Land!

Oh, Father
Help Me To Bury
The Good Seed Of Your Holy Word
In The Prepared Ready And Waiting
Ground Of My Heart!

Oh, How I Pray
That My Ground
Is Not Barren Land
But
Good And Fertile Soil
Hungry
To Accept The Abundant Water
Of The Holy Spirit
And
That I May Be In A Place Where
The Holy, Healing, Healthful, Son-Light
Will Abundantly Cause
Your Precious Seed In Me
To Germinate
And Grow
And Leaf
And
- Constantly Watered -
By That Gracious Spirit
To Bear Precious Fruit
- And In Abundance -
All Suitable
For The Welcome
And
Banqueting Table Of My Lord!

Father,
I Look With Faith's Longing Eyes
And
Hope's Yearning Heart
To That Glorious Day Of Rejoicing
In The Beautiful Land
Of
Peace And Rest!
What A Day That Will Be!

My Eyes Have Not Seen!
My Ears Have Not Heard
But
My Belief And My Love
And
My Precious Faith
In The Surpassing, Unfailing
Faith And Righteousness Of My Lord Christ
Paints The Scenic And Lofty Panorama
Without Height
Without Depth
Without Width
Without Distance
Outside Of Time
Devoid Of Scope
And
Reveals Our Achieved Hope
And Points
Ever Points To More
In The Realm Of Eternity!
Let My Faith Become Sight!

I Desire To See My Savior
The Lord
My Forever Friend!
I Desire To Live With Him
In The Peaceful Land
Where Decay
Cannot Offend!

I Desire To Hear From His Lips
The Real Story Of My Salvation
The Story That Shows
All
That I Could Not Know
But Which Was Wrought
For My Good
And God's Glory -
I Want To Bless My Faithful Lord's 
All-Hearing Ears
With The Song 
Of
My Then-Forever-Clean Heart!

In The Meanwhile, Lord
In This Realm That Hosts Night
Please 
Prepare My Heart
Tune My Voice
Embolden My Spirit
Ever
Always
To Sing Your Glorious Praise!

Help Me To Keep
A Song Of Zion In Heart
A Word Of Truth In My Head
A Healing Balm In Hand
A Soft Word On My Tongue
Heavens Light In My Eye
And
My Foot Permanently Placed
On The Path To Paradise
Praying
Ever Praying The Promises
And
Trusting In Him
Who Gives The Beyond Understanding
Peace!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

Should I Let The Savior In?!





I Sat
AND 
I Thought
AND 
I Thought Some More!
Should I Ask The Lord To Search Me?
Should I Let Him Enter
Into My Personal Heart's Door?
Should I Really Bid Him Enter?
Should I Give Him The Grand Tour?
Should I ... Should I Let My Savior Enter?
Should I Let Him Through My Most Private Door?

Should I Let The Savior Try Me?
Should I Make Him Privy To My Thoughts?
Should I Let Him See The Darkness?
Should I Let Him View The Ugly Truth Distorts?
Should I Let Him See My Treasured Hopes?
My Hidden Desires Of The Night?
Should I Let Him See The Passions
Against Which I Constantly Fight?

Should I Let Him See The Real Me?
Insecurities And All?
Should I Let Him See Those Things 
That By Satan I Did Fall?
Should I Bare My Own Soul
To My Maker And My King
AND
Give Him A Carte Blanche
To Fix Me Up
For Once And For All?

I Thought Me A Little Thought
AND
I Got Tired Of The Thinks
So
I Uttered A Simple Prayer
AND
Opened The Door - 
No More High Jinks!

The Master Quietly Entered In
AND
I Longingly Looked At Him
AND
In His Face
I Saw The Blessing
For Which I Had Been Avidly 
Instinctively
Seeking!

In His Beautiful
Marred Face
I Saw Plainly 
His Bold Love
AND
In His Hand Was Marked:

"Come Home To Me, My Love!"

In His Warm Embrace
I Encountered
Perfect Peace 
AND
Sweet Rest
AND
In His Ear
I - Bestirred -
Uttered
Everything
That Had To Be Confessed!

When It Was All Over
I Could Not Let Him Go
AND
In Loving Affinity
He Held Me Close
Asking Me
To Love
AND
Trust Him
AND
Walk With Him Ever
Even Unto Eternity!

With My Heart Strongly Beating
AND
Seemingly
Floating On The Air
I Said:

"Lead Me, Dear Master
Into The Everlasting Way
For Yours Is The Only Voice
My Heart Desires To Hear
AND
Your Presence
Is All
My Soul Desires
To Be Near!"


In Truth
I Here Acknowledge
My Soul Has Found Its Resting Place
Perfect 
For All My Need
I Lean On That Amazing Love
AND
Daily Safely Feed!


What About You?!
Have You 
Opened Your Heart 
To The Master?

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Get Thee Hence!









Wolfie was Caught Between Christ The Rock and Hard Place Cash!
He loved The Cross!
He loved The Cash!
But ... For Good and For Better
He is Building Up The Best Stash!

Ruled by Two Desires and
"Blessed" with High Flown Tastes
Something had to give for
The Cross was Proving a Hard Case!

Wolfie had Huffed and
Wolfie had Puffed
But he could not Bring God's House down
So, he thought up a New Game Plan
And became The Architect of Church Town!

He became The Real Estate Magnate
He became The Banker Extraordinaire
And he became The Public School Principal
And The Good Works Volunteer!

He owns The Food Processing Company
He owns The Farm Land too, I hear
He owns The Transport and The Airport
And of The Town Council he owns one or two
And it is said by The In-crowd
He owns of The Preachers many more than a few!

Things around Town are in Turmoil
Hearts are in a Roiling Stew
Problems are a-Boiling
And Prayers are Going Up by for Me and for You!



THE OPPOSITION:

Divide and Conquer
Command and Commandeer
Cut-off and Separate
Subsume and Obfuscate!

And ...


THE DEFENSE:

Prayer and Supplicate
Repent and Confess
God Validate
Love Your Brother - Don't Hate!


The Faithful are God Trusting
The Trusting have Jesus Christ's Faith
All are Beloved of The Master
And none Fall for Things that Titillate!

Wolfie was in Church Town's Sheep-Fold
And even gave Great Offerings
But, his Singing was so Off-key
The Believers have No Problem
His Song Discovering!

Forewarned, The Believers had No Trouble Accepting
That Sheep and Goats Together Will Grow
That Tares and Wheat will Show at The Harvest
With Tares Separated out for The Burning
And Wheat to The Barn to Safely go!

Sooooo ...


"Wolfie, your Days are Numbered!
Wolfie, your Beard you may let long Grow!
Your Heart is not Benevolent, and
Your Garments are not Blood-washed
To Render them White as The Driven Snow!

We may only be a Remnant
But we are cut of God's Linen Cloth, and
We are Maintaining Integrity!
We don't Bend to, Bow for, nor Worship
Pretty, Putrid, Polished Gold Calves!

Get Thee, Hence
Thou Spawn of The Devil!
Divide and Conquer will indeed Carry The Day
Jesus Christ Conquered Your Master The Devil
And just like him, you will for Your Sins Personally Pay!"


*******

Don't Cross The Dividing Line!!

*******



GOD RULES 
IN 
THE AFFAIRS OF MEN!!
