VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith Is For Fools!?!



Outward Dangers
And
Inward Fears
Often Conspire To Make This Life Seem Harsh
And
Even Bitter To The Taste
And
More Than The Obedient Christian
Can Possibly Bear!

Eyesight Is A Lie
AndOverwrought Feelings Are Among Satan's Best Tools
But
The Faith Of The Lord Jesus
Is
The Enduring Christian's Prized Jewel!

Faith Is For Fools!

I'd Rather Be  A Fool For My Jesus
Than An Abused Slave To Destructive Sin
And
I'd Rather Hold To That Certain Hope
Than To Believe That Life Owes Me Something
And
Have To Run To Mind-Altering Dope
With This Daunting Short Life To Cope!

Yes, This Life Is Short
And I Did Not Ask To Be Born
So This Life Therefore Owes Me Something
Before My Breath From Me, Unwillingly
Is Unceremoniously Torn!

Oh, My!
I Thought I Had A Problem
But
Your Problem Is Far Bigger Than Mine!

I, At Least Have A Forever Friend
My Savior
My Redeemer
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Loved And Loving Master
On Whom I Can ... And Do
Always, Always, Depend!

You Lie, You Liar!
Self Is Number One!
No One Can Be Trusted!
Take Care Of Self Always
And You'll Always Be The Number One!

What A Sad Life It Must Be
Always Looking In The Circus Mirror
That Elongates The Head
And
Stretches Long The Hands And Feet
And
Making One Appear As Something
Best Left In Nightmarish Sleep!

I Beg Your Pardon! 
My Life Is Not A Nightmare!

Dear Friend,
Nightmare It Must Be
When Uplifted Self Obscures The Son
The Son Of The Living Eternal Blessing God
The Always Available
Always Giving Son Of Those Called Man!

Outward Dangers Are Frightening
And
Inward Dangers Are The Worse
But
Thankfully I Have For My Saving Grace
The Great And Glorious King Of The Universe!

My Part In The Great Controversy
Is
To Be Obedient To The Law Of God
To Trust My Jesus In Whatever He Says
To Keep Hold Of The Faith That Daily He Gives
And
Do Not His Sacrifice For Me Betray!

I, Of My Own Will
Choose To Follow The Lord!
I Choose To Permit Him To Safely Lead Me ... Home
Because
I Choose To Believe His Blood-Bought Promise That
After Enduring All Things For His Love
I Shall Enter The Heavenly Paradise
A Rightful Recipient Of
The Gifts Of The Great Reward!


Outward Dangers Are Of The Devil!
Inward Fears Are Of The Doubting Self
But
As A Confessed Sin-Repentant Forgiven 

Redeemed Child Of The Household Of Faith
With Inflows Of Daily Grace
And
Daily Faith
And
The Living Eternal Word
The Good News
- The Gospel -
Daily Imbibed
And
Gratefully Utilizing The Prayer Of Faith For Help
For Provision
For Protection
For Direction
In Worship For Praise
I Am Jesus Christ's Responsibility
Because
I Have Given Unto Him, Me
My Sovereign Will
My Renounced Own-Way
And
I Know Of A Surety
Jesus Christ Will Guard
Guide Lead
Correct
And
Feed Me
And
Lead Me Safely To His Home
Cherished ... All The Way!


Friend,
No Matter What Befalls Me
No Created Being Shall Stall Me
Or
Prevent Me From Leaning On My Jesus
No Matter What The World Calls Me!


We
- You And I -
Have A Dear Friend Called Christ Jesus
And
Upon Request
The Comforter
- Almighty God The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
And
The Influencing Holy Angels
Who Encourage Us To Do The Good And The Right
And
I Tell You Truth
Against Benighting Sin
All Of These Heavenly Intelligences
- Concerned With Your Soul's Salvation -
Will, Indeed, Help Us To Win The Fight!


I Really Wish I Had A Personal Savior-Friend
To Bless And Keep Me
Someone On Whom I Can Wholeheartedly 

Constantly Unfailingly Depend!

You Do!

I Do!?!

You Do.
Just Open Your Heart's Door To The Holy One
Who Is Quietly Knocking
And
Diligently See To It 
That The Holy God You Stop Belligerently Mocking!


I Am Ashamed!

You Should Be Amazed That 
The Lord Of Life Personally Loves You!

I Am Now Officially Sad!

You Should Be Wholeheartedly Glad That 
Amazing Love Is Calling Unto You!

I Was ... Am ... Lost And Alone 
In The Midst Of The Illuminated Crowd!

You Are Found Of The Faithful God
And
The Voice Of Him Who Calls And Teaches You
Will Enlighten And Enliven
Without Ever Being Loud!


That's It!!
I Have Made My Decision!

I Desire The Love Of Your Jesus!
I Desire To Have Your Jesus As Mine!
I Here And Now Deny The Liar
Who Has Long Blighted My Life ...!


... Prayer Is A Sharp Knife!

I Shall Cut Him Out Now!

Remember, Beloved!
Remember ... No Need To Vow!
Remove Something Bad ... Install Something Good!


Salvation Is A Journey
And
Never, Ever, A Horse Race!


Cast All Your Cares On Christ Jesus
And
You Will Not Make Shipwreck Of Holy Faith!


Learn To Lean!
Lean And Learn!
Submit Yourself To The Lord!
Be Obedient!
Do The Will!
Walk Meekly Before The Lord
And
Trust Him
And
You Will Not Be Cast Into Outer Darkness
Like Those Refusing Free Grace
And
Available Mercy
Like Those Willful Disobedient Members Of
Satan's Lost-Goat Herd!


Do You Know What The Obedient Sheep Says
To A Disobedient Goat!?!


No! Can't Say That I Do!

Baaaaaad!!

I Like You!
You're Good!

Race ... Relations!?!?!

Brethren,
Who Can Tell Me
How Many Races There Are?!

Me! Me! Me!

Yes, Big Sam! 

I Can And I Shall Name Them All In One Breath!
Here Goes:
Drag Foot Human Boat Swim Political Horse
Downhill Speed Endurance Walk And Rat ... Race!
12 In All!

There Followed Silence
And Then Everybody Bu'st Out Laughing!
Some Laughed So Hard Until There Were Tears
And Coughing ...
Until Young Feb Said Rather Loudly:

But My Class Teacher Says That

There Are At Least Four Human Races
And Big Sam Only Named One!
He Didn't Answer The Question Correctly!


The Discussion
- From Thence -
Turned
A Decidedly Ugly Shade Of Brown 'N Black Dark Memory
Overlaid With White-Right Supremacy
Interspersed With Economic-Envy Green
Sprinkled Liberally With Bleeding-Red Blood
Laid Out On An Ivory-Inlaid Bed Of Yellow Cowardice
Shot Through With Dastardly-Doings Dirty Dirt!

Suddenly
In The Midst Of A Momentary Lull In Conversation
The Voice Of Faith Through Grace
And
Reason Through Thoughtfully-Considered Mindfulness
- Soft And Gentle And Firm
Not Forced
Not Fractured
Not Overwhelmed With Overwrought Emotionalism -
Spoke:

Brethren Beloved,
We Are Believers In The Lord Jesus Christ
The Creator Of All Things
Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
In The Heavens Above
On The Earth Beneath
In The Fountains Of Waters
The Rivers Lakes Oceans And Seas!

This Jesus
The Only Begotten Son Of The Father God
Is The God Of Order!
He Is Neither A Cobbler
A Journeyman
Nor A Fabricator!
He Is Neither Liar Nor Thief!

This Lord Jesus Does Not Inspire Fiction
AND
He Does Not Foment
War And Strife 
Nor Inspire Doubt!

This Same Christ Jesus
Is Not A One-Trick Pony
- Pardon My Expression -
That
- Lacking Creativity Ingenuity
Originality And Stick-To-Itiveness -
Made A Man
AND
Rendered From That One Man
Several Variations ... On A Theme!

Despite The Rubbish
Being Foisted On Impressionable Minds
About
The Race$
Big Sam Is Quite Correct
In Calling Out
THE HUMAN RACE
As In
Jesus Christ Made Adam
AND
Out Of Adam
Jesus Christ Took A Rib
AND
Made Adam A Help-Meet
A Single Female Named Called
Represented Shown To Be Eve
"... The Mother Of ALL Living!"

The Lord Jesus Christ
- Via The Inspired Word -
Did Not Stutter!
Did Not Mumble!
Did Not Utter Alternative Facts!
Did Not Publish Fake News!

There Is One Race ... Human!
No Sects!
No Off-Shoots!
No Second String!
No Off-Scourings!
No To-Be Grafted Race O'Man Lil' Bits Of Branches!

Do You Not Think That
It Is Time To Wake Up
AND
Realize
Without A Single Doubt
That
We Are All One?!

You Could Have Heard A Pin Drop ...

I Am Human!
I Am Made Out Of The Dust Of The Earth!
The Creator God
The Lord Jesus Christ
Breathed
Into My Progenitors
The Breath Of Life
AND
By Descent
I Am A Living Soul!

I Am Not Color!
I Am Not Economy!
I Am Not Education!
I Am Not Caste!
I Am Not Undiscovered!
I Am Not Big Head!
I Am Not Low Brow!

I Am The Creation Of The Creator-God!
I - By Faith - Am A Child Of The Great King!
I Am A Praying Member Of
The Living God's Family!

Pray Tell,
What, Now, Are You?!

Any Questions?!

There Was Not A Dry Eye In The Audience Room!

Things Did Not Change Overnight
BUT
Seeing People
Are Actually Looking At People ... As Flesh And Blood
For. The. Very. First. Time!
It Is Quite Refreshing!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : Putrid Peas Produce Punishment Not Profit!

                                                                                 Popularity!
                                          Position!
                                 Perks!
                    Prestige!
Putrid Praise!

The Deadly Peas
Seem Able To Cause
Formerly Right-Thinking
Right-Living
Men And Women
To Sell Their Birth-Right
For A Bowl Of Red Bean Stew!

If We Look At Esau
We Will Know The Obvious Outcome
As We Read The Declared Word Of God:


I Have Loved Jacob

But
Esau I Have Hated!


Will You Sell
Your Eternal Birth-Right
Just To Eat
Dry Bread And Rancid Bean Stew
So That You May
Freely Fraternize
Unfettered
With The Idolatrous Crew?!

Will You Live
By The Sight Of Your Blind Eyes
Or
Will You Live Right In The Sight Of Him
In Whom Eternity Abides?!

Why, Oh, Why
Are We So Short-Sighted
So Easily Blind-Sided
By The Putrid Praise Of The Benighted
Multitudinous Know-It-All Crew?!

Do You Care?
Will You Dare
To Walk Without Fear
Under The Guidance Of Him Who
All Our Burdens Do Bear?!

Won't You Trust The One Who
Sacrificially Cares For You?!

Please Say:

Lord,

You Are My Portion Forever
And
I Will Follow Your Word?!


Please Say:

Draw Me Nearer, Lord! 

Let Me With You
Walk In Accord! 
Take My Hand
And
Guide Me Safely Home
To Beautiful Beulah Land!



Brethren,

Our God Holy Is Able! 
Our God Eternal Is True Truth!
Our God Omniscient Is Omnipresent
So
Trust Him
- He Is Omnipotent -
AND
There Is No One
That Can Stop Him
From Truly Blessing
AND
Taking Total Care
Of
Believing Me And Believing You!

Lord,
In The Name
Of
The Holy Jesus
Please
- We Beseech You - 

Help Us To Make You
Our Blessed Portion
From
This Day

This Hour
This Moment On 
AND ... FOREVER!
AMEN.

THE ROUGH SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN: The S.I.M Card




Every True Believer In Christ
Shall
- From The World -
Receive A S.I.M Card
Fully Loaded 
AND
Energized
AND
Running Off Of 
The Nuclear Power Plant Of 
The Fraud!

S corn
I nsult
M ockery
Rabid
Ravening
AND
Strong

To The Lord Christ
Do Not Belong!

God Knows All!
AND
The Day Of Reckoning Is Calling
Is Coming!
Everything Is Going To Be Alright!

Please ...

Do Not Be Weary In Welldoing
AND
Do Not Cringe
In View Of The World's Frown!
Jesus Christ The Living God

AND
He Will Be Here
Before Long!
Sing A Psalm!
Sing A Hymn!
Sing A Spiritual Song!
Cheer Up!
When You Cry
You Cry Alone
BUT
When You Sing
The World Sings Along!

Better Days Are Coming ...

Take The Bitter Pill
Of The S.I.M Card
AND
Let It In Your Life Be Seed
To Help You
To Heap Coals 
On The World's Errant Head
As You
- In Christ's Faithfulness -
See To Their Pressing Need!
Do Not Let Their Faults Phase You!
Let God's Truth Be Your Steed!

Giving The World A Smile
A Clean Glass Of Clean Water
A Choice Slice Of Healthy Bread
A Kindly Word Of Life And Hope
ANDA Clean Spot To Lay The Head
Are All Means Whereby
The Truth Of God
May Be Seeded Into 
The Spiritually Bankrupt Life
IFThe Recipient
Has Not Decided
That The Holy Spirit Of Truth
In His Life
Is Not Now
Not Ever 
Necessary Or Needed!
Feed Him!

Please ...

Trust God
AND
To The World Show
That In The Face Of Adversity
Your Heart Is To Your Savior, True
ANDThat You
- Surrendered To Christ -
Do All That Jesus Wills
For You To Do!
In Daily Grace ... Grow!

Give Thanks
AND
Be Gracious!

Remember ...

A Ragged Mountain
Can
Will
Be Climbed
BUT
A Glass Hill
Has No Foothold To Find!

The Rope Of Life
Can Be By Choosing!
The Rope Of Life
Can Be By Bet Losing!
The Rope Of Life

  • Living
  • Losing
  • Choosing
  • Refusing

Is There
For All In Jesus Christ
To Safely Use
Or
By Satanic
Demonic Interference
Abuse!

Think! 
Don't Chill-ax!

The Hope To Your External Life
Axe!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Great Occurrence!








There was The Great Occurrence
Which came from Heaven above
Which tells The  Beautiful Story
Of Sacrificial Love
How Jesus left His Home in Paradise
And came to Earth for to Die
To save the Race of Mankind
Wicked
Unworthy
Sin Defiled!

He thought not of The Great Sacrifice
He thought not of The Grave Pain
He thought only of His Beloved Children and
How He must them Reclaim!

With Great Love and Unending Compassion
He laid on That Cruel Cross
For without His Great Personal Sacrifice
His Children would be forever to Him Eternally Lost!

Now this is The Redemption Story
Hear you well This Song
How Jesus my Savior
His Gold Crown Laid Down
To give me a Way Back
To be Reconciled unto The Holy God
Instead of being Forever Destroyed
Anathema to God!

Jesus Died
Yet He Lives and,
Of this, I'm Certain:

He is Coming Again One Glad Day and
Because I am a True Believer
I am packing my Blessed Faith and
I am Waiting
Ready
Prepared 
For
With Him I shall Fly
Fly
Fly Away!

Glory is Awaiting Me
Glory, No More Cross to Bear
The Glory of Jesus I shall Share
Bless His Holy Name!
